I love how one out of every hundred cans of Ecto Cooler contains pure ectoplasm and will make your dream the nightmares of ghosts.

Wendig wrote one that sunk its trauma-fangs into my leg and refused to unlatch until I woke from his nightmare. Veiled in the shadows of Pennywise's red balloon with some definite Backrooms energy, it's wholly original, entralling, and—ultimately—devastating. Read it.

I don't get out to quite as many events these days, but—when I do—I make 'em count. Quality over quantity. Here are all the fun goings-on in the next 9 months or so, including the big release of NODS ROTTEN on December 6th... 👀

Kat is a perfect example of why excluding self-published authors from the accolades afforded to others is a really, really dumb practice.

Today's impulse buy. Not sure how this was meant for "Ages 8 and up" but I guess 1989 was a wild time.

OK - I know I've neglected social media for a while but it's good because I've been writing my tail off and living life away from the screen. I'm still here and will be sharing updates on my upcoming title NODS ROTTEN, as well as deets on future events, much more frequently. Stay tuned, friends. 😎

The reason you never see Tom Cruise in a horror movie is because he is the bar when it comes to film running. You would never see him completely eat it at a full sprint, the killer wouldn’t stand a chance.

Wondering why you should write now with the world the way it is? Have you taken time recently to read a book? Was it a welcome relief? A moment of calm? Of normalcy? Sure it was. That's why you need to write, so your book can be that for someone else. And, of course, you do it for yourself too.

Happy Friday! Hope the writing, the words, and the vibes are all flowing today. Been a minute since I've checked in but I'm immersed in Nods Rotten (my next book, due out in October from @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social) and can't wait 'til he's ready to escape into the world. 👀

I spent the morning thinking about a lot of the indie bookstores that I love and wanted to ask you to possibly do the same. What are your favorite bookstores? Where can you preorder your 2026 books from? Here are some of mine: bit.ly/3L99iKM

We all read some bad books this year. I didn’t finish some and had to write negative reviews here and there. However, what I really want to hear about is the stuff that blew your mind, that made you think, that stayed with you. Tell me about the cool books you loved this year.

Gift cards to spend? Get BUOYGEIST (or any of my books) on Amazon, B & N, and other places awesome horror is sold. Time to head back to 1988. A video rental store, a drive-in, and a harpoon/chainsaw duel. Pretty much everything you could possibly need to ring in the New Year.

Today's the perfect day to support writers, artists, creators. If you're looking to shop for people during the holiday season, why not buy a book, commission an art piece, purchase an indie game, order some handmade jewelry? Your help means everything.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care? You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.
