Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026When some awful news-worthy thing happens to a kid, it’s rarely school, friends, or pop culture at the heart of it; it’s usually the goddamned parents. And when parents complain about something their kid does…well, blame-shifting is a helluva drug. 010
Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Next year, everyone’s going to be reading a story of mine in an anthology celebrated The Shining, and that story (a transcript of a journalist’s notebook) was partially inspired by how I take notes. Exhibit A: This fucking mess of notes I’m taking for research on food processing. 020
Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I like Phoebe Bridgers, have been listening to the new album, but she’s a particular vibe, right? Enough so that when someone says, I’ve been listening to that new Phoebe Bridgers album a lot, the only response should be, “So, um, you being doing all right, man?” My view this evening while walking. 010

Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I realized I never shared this; my teen has been periodically showing me anime she likes, including Studio Ghibli, and the one I enjoy the most is My Neighbor Totoro.

Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Did I need more books? Fuck no. Did I pick up new books anyway in order to support a new genre shop just outside of DC? Fuck yes. This is the Long Dark House in Alexandria, Virginia. 030
Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This might sound painfully arrogant, but I was re-reading my old *old* story “All That You Leave Behind,” for reasons I won’t get into here, and I was struck by how, 10 years later, I *still* love how it turned out. That’s not common for me; I’m infuriatingly nitpicky on shit. 010

Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 31/08/2026And just like that, I’ve turned in the final edits (I think? Sure, let’s go with it) for “In These Silences, You Want It More”, which will be appearing in VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK, an anthology from Vintage Books next year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stephen King’s THE SHINING. 140

Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Stokercon is, for the majority of people, the only public-facing aspect to the HWA, so there’s at least the semblance of transparency with what they do. The rest of HWA? Forget the very real question mark of how it “benefits” writers, no one knows anything about it. Yay for secret clubs, I guess? 0102
Reposted by Paul Michael AndersonAlan Baxter @alanbaxter.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Absolutely. Have a StokerCon committee (like other cons) who also manage the Stoker Awards and throw the entire HWA in the bin. Irredeemable at this point, I think. 0192

Paul Michael Anderson @paulmanderson.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I cannot begin to sum up in any form of articulate speech how much I loathe these people. The closest I get: I wish them an eternal case of poison oak, and I wish for them to have a violent (but non-lethal) allergy to it. 000
