Everytime I log on here I think, I don't want to "do updates" or discourse or thoughts. I just want to write weird little threaded micro fictions.

Reposting this because it's relevant again! Here in the Twin Cities, a bunch of horror writers are going to @okokno.bsky.social's book release party this Saturday, then getting drinks/lunch and chatting it up afterwards. Good horror-writerly things can happen locally if you put in the effort!

I have a book coming out on Tuesday! My publisher gave me an option of either a launch day event or one for the weekend. And I said let's do the weekend cuz a lot of my community works so it will be easier for them to come out for a signing on Saturday. But that's not the real reason

My friends do my friends care a lot. My family however not so much I don't think they might. I don't know I'm estranged but like when I was starting the answer was pretty strongly no.

I read both of the main metabaron cycles and all of them have this moment where they cry a single tear and I know that's supposed to be serious and profound and show how manly they are. But all I can think about is that scene from cloudy with a Chance of meatballs. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GDuRwC/

I finally read all of the Technopriests. Jodorowsky is so fucking unserious. It's full of all kinds of esoteric shit and on one level he is talking about the process of being an artist for money and I dig that but also the main character fusion ha's with his pet mouse and becomes a mouse man.

Just really into doing art of fish heads

Acrylic painting of a fish head that is sort of grayish with a yellow background painted on a lined piece of notebook paper.

I read John bynes Next Men comic series. The reason I read it was because This video pitched it as the story about people who had superpowers that actually were more of a curse that ruined their bodies and their abilities to relate to people the more they use them. That was not what this was about

COVER REVEAL AND PREORDER ANNOUNCEMENT! Under a Malevolent Eye, our surveillance horror and Weird fiction anthology, comes out August 18th. You can preorder it from our store using the links in this thread. But first thing's first--check out @spicycloaca.bsky.social's fabulous cover design!

A black-and-white collage of security cameras, grainy images, and an eye shooting a beam down at someone running. The title text is distorted, like something you’d see on a messed-up VHS tape: Under a Malevolent Eye edited by Eric Raglin

My book, The Sunken The Adored, releases in August! It takes place during an oppressively hot summer in Venice. Mercy, freed from enslavement under horrific circumstances finds a new decadent life dripping in equal turns of delight and terror. Preorder it. I'm supposed to suggest Barnes and Noble.

A graphic with "a chilling, intoxicating historical horror tale set during a hot venetian summer..." -library journal. Against a black background. Underneath is a color pencil piece of art of a Black woman laying in pink flowers. Her eyes are closed. It looks like a funeral .

I love the way the cover for my latest journaling game came together I’m not an artist & this had zero budget. But I knew the look I wanted So many museums have made their collections available for use, there’s no excuse to slop it up with AI Fuseli’s work was easy to find And it’s perfect:

Does @haileypiperfights.bsky.social know that this full moon (3/3) is a Worm Moon? It's important to me that she knows that.

The moon through some trees. It is very big and very low.

A slightly grainy photo of the full moon where details of its face can be seen against a pitch black sky.
