THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT is out today! In 1994, three girls go to the movies to see an obscure film. Only one comes out. 30 years later, the survivor learns the movie isn't done with her yet. Now playing in a bookstore near you 😈📽️ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827994...

To all those going to AuthorCon in March 2027, I decided to make a return there but the hotel is sold out. Anyone have recs for quiet (aka no Busch Garden families) and affordable alternatives? Preferably without bugs and/or people that will eat me.

Finally, some updates. All copyedits for SUFFERING THE OTHER have been rolled in, and we have a new ARC. A few last tweaks and some proofreading, then it will be ready for publication. I plan to open up pre-orders this week, with shipping in late September.

Two Advance Reader Copies of the book SUFFERING THE OTHER, next to a stack of small promo postcards advertising the book. The cover art (by Rew X) shows a magnificent many-tailed and winged golden creature soaring towards the upper right, while dozens of evil-looking snake creatures rain down towards the lower left. It is beautiful.

We're five days from the release of TSD in paperback! It's a personal tale of grief and anxiety, death and dementia. Cosmic horror through an elderly lens. It's got what might be the best accolades of my career to date. So, if you're new here, or haven't read it, please consider picking it up!

Are you a reviewer on Insta or Tiktok (where I dare not tread) interested in an ARC of DEAD BOYS DONT CRY when it's available? Let me know!

Announcement for Dead Boys Don't Cry by Joe Koch, coming out in June 2027, described as a cosmic-erotic slasher and queer anti-murder mystery told through interlocking stories, pitched as Cruising meets Robbe-Grillet's The Erasers.

World is a horror show yet again, but I wanted to highlight this Defenders story I wrote for the new Marvel: Black, White, & Blood and Guts #4. In particular, I added a shout out to @cgolden.bsky.social & @briankeene.bsky.social whose Defenders Dialogue podcast got me back into the team.

The first page of a comic story written by Victor LaValle, illustrated by Bruno Bull De Oliveira.

In an alleyway, A man wields a knife over a woman in terror, lying on the ground. Other men surround her.
