I just ate and I’m hungry looking at those.

So, every codex release is the Hunger Games now? #warhammer40k

Publishing is a fickle, mercurial industry. It has little time to look for good stories, preferring to focus on log lines, trends, and of course numbers. So, let’s give the voracious entity what it demands and hopefully keep Achewillow going for a very long time.

CHOCOLAT was a main ingredient in inspiring Achewillow and A DASH OF DEMON. Imagine our joy when we got these words from @joannechocolat.bsky.social #horror #horrorbooks #bookrelease #bookreleaseday #cozyhorrorbooks

Those Were The Days is on our Summer break, like most good TV shows have. We'll see you all in the Fall! In the meantime, you need a Summer book to read and we couldn't recommend "A Dash of Demon" more! Written by @daniora.bsky.social and @jfdubeau.bsky.social ! bookshop.org/p/books/a-da...

Some awesome people have shared incredibly nice words on A DASH OF DEMON. Here’s what Philip Fracasi had to say:

Today’s the day… A Dash of Demon is released upon the English speaking world. Which means I will not be shutting up about it for a little while. Get your copy from your favorite book store.

Beautiful. And so peaceful looking.

It’s the crispiest. Looking forward to chatting with you guys. 😁🥓🦝

It’s time to get back on track… with a new episode! Season 9 Chapter 1: Get Bent, Hesiod is now available. Listen at Achewillow.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine his disappointment when he sees it’s just filled with tables and chairs instead of this:

Celebrating in the only appropriate way. Locally made in a small shop. Maybe a cognac later.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

If it’s A God in the Shed you’re curious about, I’m sure I can get a copy in your hands somehow. But it is a very different flavor profile from A Dash of Demon and Achewillow.

I've been looking up what chocolate shops are on my way home from work. Because I like to stay on theme.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Considering the voracious sweet tooth I've experienced through your work, 'eerily mouthwatering' sounds like a debt paid. And quite the feather to our cap.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Maybe that’s why I’ve been having such a magical time with Season 9 these last two days.

Season 9+ are gonna be more fun on the Helen Edna front. I promise you. We finally meet her ‘minions’ so to speak. What?

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

I wonder what this could possibly mean.

I need to turn on notifications for this app... I'm so sorry for not catching your post. I don't have a lot to say about book 3 right now. It's with the publisher and we're doing edits. I was hoping for a pub date of 2026, but early 2027 is more likely. 🫤

Couldn’t have asked for a chiller table neighbor. Looking forward to digging into your book.

You’re either bragging about successful sales or admitting being bad at math. I’m here for either.

Write two books. One to sell at private auction to some selfish crypto bro. One with the actual ending to publish for fans.

I have a section of my workshop that’s all about how comedy and horror both rely on subverting expectations and using tension, and its subsequent release, to deliver.

I got hit by a car in my early 20s. Both legs absolutely shattered. Multiple surgeries, ambulance ride, hospital stay, weeks in physical therapy, etc. Cost to me: 0$ And I’m covered for any assistive needs I might require as a result of the accident as I grow old.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Oh boy! I’m think this is the most action packed episode I’ve written so far?

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

That’s the point though. It won’t involve him. These ‘innovations’ are far more likely to replace shallow content like impersonal overproduced YouTube video than actual artists. In the long run that is. ‘Give a Mr. Beast video of 100 contestants playing games to win a Tesla on Mars’ etc.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

And it likely will kill us.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

The good news is that, within a few short years, people will be using AI to generate their own custom Mr Beast videos that feature Mr Beast, but don’t profit Mr Beast, all without Mr Beast’s involvement. Progress!

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

No one needs these books anymore. The genre has since spawned far better tales. And most aren’t used in the service of attacking women and the trans community.

My boss can do what I do with AI. My boss cannot accurately do what I do with AI. My boss will not gamble his multi-million dollar labor of love to save my measly salary.

I feel sort of hollow after Adepticon. I’ll have to write a report.

You should absolutely make time for it. Or if you find that’s not your jam, to find a way to tell your story through art. It’s worth the effort and commitment to seek the art through which you can express yourself best. And if that ends up being writing and you need tips, hit me up.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

The Life Engineered is a very different book. But while I might be done (to a degree) with the God of St-Ferdinand, I’m not done writing about dark forces. And if you’re in the mood for something a little scary but also a little cozy, may I recommend giving the Achewillow podcast a listen? ;)

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I get updates here and there, but until anything solid happens there’s no point making any announcement. The project keeps bouncing back and forth between people. I would love an adaptation of the caliber of The Outsider. And yeah… dementia sounds terrifying. I feel for you.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

So, the bad news is that I’m not likely to be exploring that universe again. Having delivered the manuscript for the third book to the publisher, I feel like I’ve said what I had to say within that world. The good news is, I’ve got a few other projects either published or on the road to it.

JFDubeau @jfdubeau.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Hey there! First off, let me express my condolences for your dad’s passing. I’m glad (and more than a little humbled) my book helped you get through it. You’re not the first person I hear say that horror has a therapeutic effect on them.

We’ve come a long way from a video game fancast to what is one of my favorite stories with Achewillow. And boy… if we get to everything we’ve got brewing… what stories do we have in store…

How about we rename Google to Ask Jeeves. - fun and retro - it feels more personal to say “let me Ask Jeeves” - no one asked for this pointless change, least of all Google
