I really enjoyed the first half of STRANGER THINGS s5, but it also reminded me a lot of my unpublished Gothic Biopunk cosmic horror fantasy, with some extremely similar images. I still feel so sad that I couldn't find an agent for that book, because it's still my favorite thing I've ever written.

I did an unhinged SPOILER INTERVIEW with @emzbox.bsky.social! If you've finished reading LILITU: BLOODY CALEB, this interview might give some insight as to why I wrote it the way I did. If you haven't finished the book yet, may want to wait until you have: horroraddicts.wordpress.com/2025/11/26/a...

If you enjoy Gothic Horror like CRIMSON PEAK, check out my LILITU series about succubi, incubi, & vampires in Victorian England. Book 1 follows a woman who becomes a succubus to take down a demon monarchy. Book 2 follows a murdered man trying to escape from Hell to get revenge! geni.us/LilituSaga

@realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN is a haunting Gothic masterpiece. I was lucky enough to attend a 35mm screening of the film at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater with @ruthiewrites91.bsky.social, & it was an exquisitely beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.

The blurb reads: “Sara Tantlinger’s Cyanide Constellations: And Other Stories
expertly explores the beauty and brutality of nature, the
search for love and meaning, the blight of humanity, and
our insistence on scorching a path to our own destruction.
Gorgeous but bleak, Sara’s prose are a bittersweet and utterly
captivating toxin.”

No, autism isn't caused by taking tylenol during pregnancy. Tylenol didn't hit pharmacy shelves until 1960. Autism was first coined in 1911 and first officially diagnosed in 1943. As usual, Brain Worms Man and Cheeto Benito have no idea what they're talking about.

my favorite part of the current season of Strange New Worlds is when Captain Batel says to Captain Pike, about them moving in together, that there's not room for her, with all his hair-care products. I mean—the dude does have some amazing hair. must take some serious time.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.

September approaches! Countdown to AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION. It's been a wild ride. I'm ready, alongside talented @andreajanes.bsky.social, to thrill & chill you with UNCANNY FACTS. NYC Launch + signed copies 9/30 & 10/1! Pre-order details in thread:

From the authors of A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN comes AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION by Leanna Renee Hieber and Andrea Janes. The book cover features a teal background with a central haunted house (typical Gothic, mansard roof, eerily lit interior, surrounded by encroaching mist and overgrowing forest.) The text is in white script and the subtitle in a rich goldenrod yellow that mirrors the filigree detailing and quatrefoil corner pieces of gothic detailing around the edges.

The president says DC has been "taken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals." Technically, he's not wrong, because that perfectly describes his own administration: a violent gang of bloodthirsty criminals. And given today's blatant act of Martial Law, it's only going to get worse.

In a world where monsters rule, @jonathan-fortin.bsky.social Lilitu: The Memoirs of a Succubus is a gothic horror thrill ride where sex and violence are the only means of survival. The next great dark fantasy series to rival Kushiel's Legacy, The First Law Trilogy, and The Black Company.

If you've got the time, you can listen to the pretty enjoyable Superman Radio show where Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen face down the Klan, youtu.be/H29BlTaYZ0U Honestly, pretty great stuff if only for the retro campiness. Just gotta add a small warning about the old Chinese accent they give Dr. Lee.
