Devilry in Godling Wood, fashioned as a medieval fable, is one of @coyhall.bsky.social's best works to date. The language is lush, painting the hamlet, castle, and surrounding woods in thin, serpent-skin shadow. If you love folk and medieval horror, don't sleep on this.

A new review for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil is up on my blog on Beehiiv this morning. I loved Cregger's take on the franchise for the most part but there were a few things I wasn't a fan of. You can read all about it here: thekatatnight.beehiiv.com/p/resident-e...

Pre-orders are important for indie authors: Money goes back into printing costs, shipping, ordering swag, travel costs for events, food and many other expenses associated with marketing, production, and selling books because we're often doing it ourselves or with a tiny team of people around us.)

Where The Soul Goes is officially one year old now (yesterday)! I love this book so much--the first book where I've represented my asexuality, my love of food and community in this weird flooded alternate universe of the 80's. If you haven't read it yet, go grab it: books2read.com/u/mgAQk0

I've seen a few posts where people have been trying to exclude upcoming books from their Gothic TBR just because their round peg doesn't fit into classic Gothic literature's square hole. I'll just say this: Dichotomy is Gothic horror through and through. 1/3

Those lonely churches, near feral and half-swallowed by the land, cannot help but become folkloric nexus. Tales of tunnels used by smugglers come up under their altars. Their boneyards are patrolled by baleful Grims, their crooked spires are navigations for witch-flight. – #CLNolan

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Out of Curiosity and Hunger by @amandamblake.bsky.social: Blake does a beautiful job of building layers of Willa's life, ambition, and hunger for a change. Desperation makes us capable of doing whatever we need to to reach our goals. This story is a gut-punch of how far one woman can go.

I was going back through some of my older bookish promo photos and came across this one for The Wild Dark (with the older cover). I need to do this again. There's something cathartic about setting up these aesthetic scenes for each book and creating a mood.

It's clear I'm not the only one who feels this way... Authors are feeling discouraged and depressed by this pushing out in favor of popularity. Let the work speak for itself. There are people writing horror with voices that are authentic and different. Let them find a home for their books, too.
