Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Writers have my ultimate respect. I may have a 100,000 word story in me, but anytime I try to write it down my brain wants to dump its entire contents in a single 20 minute sitting. #writing 121
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 04/04/2026If I learned anything from Josh Malerman’s book Watching Evil Dead, it’s that the act of writing itself makes you a writer. Sales or publishing record don’t decide if you are indeed a writer, they are just vehicles to be able to write more and afford living. @joshmalerman.bsky.social 100

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Storm Forecast in Midwest = Stores are wiped out of Milk, Bread and Frozen Pizza Storm Forecast in Florida = Stores sell out of water and plywood boards. Guess what doesn’t sell out in either case? Bookstores. 🤣 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 10/10/2025I want to buy an old blockbuster video location, restore it to its glory days, and instead of stocking it with video, fill it with books. Particularly genre books. I will call it Blookbuster. Or Blockbookster. Or Blookbookster. #Blookbuster #Blockbookster #Blookbookster 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 17/09/2025I don’t discuss philosophy. I don’t study history. All I know is what’s past is past, and what’s ahead is ahead. The second is ka, and takes of itself. ~Roland, The Dark Tower, by Stephen King 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Marvel missed out by not having a Loki variant from Timeline Six Seven named Lowkey: God of “Mid”schief. Crocodini Houdini. He won’t steal your keys but he’ll lose the lid to your OJ, no cap. “What is this pith? Where’s the Priiiime! I need hydrates deadass!” 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Check out Craig DiLouie’s newest book MY EX, THE ANTICHRIST on the front display stand at the Laguardia NYC airport! 110

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Watching the morning lift of TSLA bros who think they are “buying the dip” only to watch the stock crash for the rest of the day has been my favorite form of doom scrolling. #MuskCrashElon #ElonCrashesEverything #ElonCrashedAgain #TSLAcrash 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Whether it’s rockets, stocks, self-driving cars or parties: Elon has proven he’s excellent at crashing things. 000

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I started 2024 thinking I would begin my writing journey. After a couple failed starts, I knew I needed to spend more time with the greats. I read and read (and read some more). The education has been life-changing. #horrorwriters #horrorauthors #horrorbooks 151
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/12/2024The Lions hoodie completed the look! Happy Holidays @pfracassi.bsky.social! 020
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/12/2024This story has deep, dark layers to it! It’s an amazing read. Can’t wait to dive in again when I get my production copy—with a badass @tjoneswriter.bsky.social signed postcard too (collecting full set might be a challenge..but that won’t stop me) 021
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/12/2024My Dark Christmas collection is growing. I have a nice edition of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol somewhere that will go up when I find it. I really like that UK edition of NOS4R2 (aka NOS4A2). 340

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Just realized something was missing in my life. A horror advent calendar. #horroradventcalendar 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Trips with book people > trips with family. Just calling it as it is. #bookpeoplearebestpeople #whenisnextauthorcon 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I didn’t have a Turkey book in my library, but I did have this indie wonder about Chickens! Poultry is gonna do what poultry is gonna do. #IndieHorror #CalebJones #HorrorBooks 120
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 26/11/2024CARVED IN SALT by @tjoneswriter.bsky.social may only be 38 pages long, but it grips onto you like a 380 page novel. With chilling art by @scribeofhades.bsky.social, this chapbook is the 2nd edition released by the bi-monthly press @rapturepublishing.bsky.social and its sole-operator Mitch Hull. 172
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Y’all… I’m 1/3 way through DOTS and the amount of imagery that @scribeofhades.bsky.social is able to verbally paint within just a few pages is unreal! This dude has spent significant time outdoors and it shows (or he has amazing ability to research and has fooled me.) 111
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Hidden behind the SALT was DEATH ON THE SWAYBACK by @scribeofhades.bsky.social - the latest from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social 🙌 Reading this ARC and CARVED IN SALT by @tjoneswriter.bsky.social this weekend and will share notes w/o spoilers. #chapbooks #indiepress #smallpress #horrorbooks 084
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Looking forward to some weekend reading of CARVED IN SALT by @tjoneswriter.bsky.social with art by @scribeofhades.bsky.social and an advanced copy of ??? by ??? (the white chapbook behind the numbered SALT—sorry for the teaser but it hasn’t been announced by @rapturepublishing.bsky.social yet) 232
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Authors/Writers, opinions please: Unfortunately I have a very common name. We have Jason Murphy the business writer, Jason Murphy the smut horror author, J.C. Murphy the GayLit guy, and Jason C Murphy the post grad science paper submitter… #authors #writers #indie #author 100
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Hi my name is Jason and this is my inability: 1 - I am unable to plug in a USB cable on the first try. Every time. 2 - I am unable to spell the word “receive” correctly on the first try. Every time. (The whole “I before E” rule from elementary messed me up) 110
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Ever go outside and see an Amazon box & not remember buying what was inside? I had to trace back to a convo over drinks with a friend (tequila, relevant). He was super excited to tell me about this book. I ordered on the spot. I had to tell him I can’t read it. #PeterClines #DrunkAmazon #EnEspañol 010
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Random photo I took from inside my jacket pocket while walking my dog. I call it The Mist. #TheMist #BadPhotography 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Anyone figure out how to quickly jostle 2 BlueSky profiles? For example: one personal, one for business? #bluesky 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 15/11/2024This is quite comforting to hear. Good news is in short supply these days. 000
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Ok now to figure out if I can make one of these my cover/header photo. #shelfie #stephenking #edgarallenpoe #raybradbury #philipfracassi #joehill #TheShining #JackTorrence #HeresJohnny 100
Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 07/11/2024Wait. I didn’t give my obligatory first post. Sup, world. 030
