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...

I'm a long-time HWA member. I've won 4 Stokers. I've been nominated 7 times. I've believed in this organization. But after reading the statements from Creepaway Camp & Angela Yuriko Smith, I will leave HWA unless we get a new executive director.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

My surgery ended up being A LOT more expensive than I was quoted. I also have all the books I intended to sell at StokerCon this year before my plans were dashed. So I’m selling signed copies of SLEEP ALONE (new and old editions) and SOMETIMES WE’RE CRUEL. Details in thread. Please share!

Paperbacks of Sleep Alone, Sometimes We’re Cruel, and the new edition of Sleep Alone surrounded by bookmarks and stickers.

1.) Don’t comply in advance 2.) Support* indie and queer publishing, bookstores, authors, editors, and scholarship 3.) Make your work gayer *With actual money and publicity** ** If you are doing the second on this list already but it’s just white people, you’re doing it wrong.

This. The closet was nearly my casket. We express ourselves with writing, and many of us don't choose to write about queerness; it comes out in the work. To strangle that is to strangle the art, and then what is the fucking point? To lube up bookshelves with frictionless tripe? To hell with that.

My 17th and 18th books will release this year 🖤 One novel to make you shudder and one novel to make you cry, and both up for pre-order now—that's how we roll around here, bay-bee 😘 It's going to be a wild year of horror fiction.

Text besides it: in 1994, three girls go to the movies. Only one comes out. 30 years later, the movie isn't done with her.

Bottom: the cover art of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, coming from Saga Press on October 27th.
Text besides it: alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what you become when your worst enemy is yourself.
