Pennywise never left! The characters, atmospheres, influences, and iconography of Stephen King’s 40 yr old massive masterpiece, IT, are explored thoughtfully in Tom Deady’s STILL FLOATING. An insane compendium of top notch collaborators including li’l ol’ me. bookshop.org/p/books/stil...

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...

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has now officially surpassed the $30M amount Warner Bros. originally planned to write the film off for. The film is now projected to earn over $60M domestically.

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.

I REALLY loved Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and I REALLY love Gillian Anderson and I absolutely had to write about how monumental this casting choice was. So I wrote an essay for @darkertimes.bsky.social! Which you can read now 😈 www.darkertimes.com/billy-presle...

Said the same thing. I think HWA and StokerCon/Awards should be seperated. The org obviously needs a hell of a lot of restructuring or outright douching at this point. It’s a shame since I know so many people involved, including me, that donate so much of our free time to make it better for people.

Hey, guess who's got two thumbs and is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, I guess the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Kraus gives us a story of technology and identity, violence and biology, care and horror in the far future of The Sixth Nik—his first foray into the hard science fiction genre! Check out @mcflycahill90.bsky.social's review! reactormag.com/book-review-...

The Sixth Nik by Daniel Kraus Is an Ambitious, Hungry Beast - Reactor

Martin Cahill reviews a novel that is "as fascinating as it is discomfiting, endlessly propulsive, and eerily beautiful."

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.
