This is going up on Instagram, but I think it’s worthy of a share here as well. There has never been a more perfect opportunity for my spatula, my Hash Slinging Slasher shirt, and my copy of I Was A Teenage Slasher by @stephengrahamjones.com. Wanna know about horror in SpongeBob? Read below!

As a child I made Pennywise the stand-in for everything I was afraid of in the real world. The Loser's Club taught me how to be brave and fight the horror head on. I owe Stephen King my writing career, but I also owe him my life.

Just saw The Life of Chuck. I really liked the short story by @stephenking.bsky.social and loved the movie even more. Enjoyed the Q&A hosted by @ericvespe.bsky.social . But the moment that stood out was @mikeflanaganfilm.com saying "Make momets," and telling everyone to do the thing that brings joy.

Just received this little pulpy paperback beauty from @kalvinellis.bsky.social Five stories of grue and gore and questionable decency (I hope!) It looks like the kinda thing you stumble across in your dad's attic and realise he was much cooler than you thought.

Me, holding a paperback copy of Kalvin Ellis' BURY MY BODY SOMEWHERE NICE. The cover has a lovely, lurid illustration of a man about to bury a scantily clad woman. It looks a lot of horror fun.

Hear me out. Cameron Poe in Con Air gets a letter from his daughter saying her birthday is July 14th (and her daddy is coming home on Juky 14th). And the girls that are taken in Longlegs all share the same birthday, July 14th. Looks like we've got the origin story! #conair #longlegs #ragecage

A sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a footnoting coffee machine robot, set in a continent-spanning mall. “Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) www.amazon.com/Great-Americ...

Private detective Frank Harken could really, really use a cup of coffee.
Can you blame him?
His new case features a missing woman, a flaky client, a cranky security officer, a mysterious assassin, an overbearing mob boss, an ice-cold enforcer, and the best mini-golf the world has ever seen. Did we mention the fate of millions is at stake?

“Stein delivers a madcap sci-fi take on the hard-boiled detective genre in this fun, near-future romp that’s chock-full of rapid-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek literary allusions, and playful futuristic absurdity… Stein keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming … Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Get ready for some super great fun! The Great American Deception is a hilarious (and deeply disturbing) voyage through a futuristic netherworld of caffeinated robots and diet pizza. Somewhere—possibly nowhere—Douglas Adams is sighing pleasurably with a combination of approval and afterlife indigestion.”
—Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure and Lake Success

“The Great American Deception is by far the most enjoyable novel told from the point of view of a futuristic coffee machine I have ever read!”
—Ben Schwartz, actor and writer

I get frustrated sometimes when I have a long weekend, and I didn't write at all. I know I should give myself a break, but I also know my other books were no picnic. There is a valuable balance between the grace and the grind. The great @gabino.bsky.social talks about it a lot. What do you think?

Wicked was absolutely amazing! Best movie I've seen this year! Oh, should the horror guy not talk about a musical? Well, Stephen King fans, it's got Cynthia Erivo who played Holly in The Outsider, and she deserves a motherfucking Oscar for this movie. I love musicals. Not afraid to admit it.

My ADHD is so terrible that I have a really hard time staying focused long enough to get any actual writing done. So I have to use hour glasses to keep me from looking at my phone. @gabino.bsky.social said to do the thing tonight, so I'm doing it. (I'm on my six minute break.) #Writers, let's go!
