Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting around, facing away from each other. Stealthily, Green turns around to look at Blue, who is oblivious to being watched.

Sneakily Green stretches himself out, landing a kiss on the back of Blue's head. Blue is mildly startled. As he turns around to look at Green, Green has already turned back the way he had been, acting oblivious.

THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE is just right for your and your kids' Halloween reading lists. In addition to hoodoo, there is discussion of grief, starting over, and finding new family. Not to mention things to learn about art, architecture, and DIY. #booksky

Cover of The Creepening - A Black boy wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers stands on the porch of a haunted house. He is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer and doesn't see the tendrils of hair emerging from the open door of the house, reaching for him.

A silver Walter Award seal and a red Bram Stoker Award seal are in the bottom right of the cover.

The epigraph page for The Creepening. Quotes: "The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I make it." James Baldwin

"Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things, he's got it all." James Brown

Starred Kirkus review of The Creepening. “Royce’s latest offers readers a strong, character-centered, hoodoo-infused narrative that’s a tribute to the beauty of Black hair. A thrilling, hair-raising story with strong cultural roots and a well-developed sense of place. Themes of family, heritage, and grief provide anchors for the creepy mystery.”

dieselpunk is my favorite of the punks! and nemo's fun to write

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

#WeeknightWriters yeah i'll do nemo. He's a young, trans artist in a post-war dieselpunk society. He wants to have as normal a life as possible with his boyfriend, nick, even if laws and society are stacked against him and the people he cares about.

#WeeknightWriters being real for a second i have moral OCD and thus overthink how my characters outside my lane come off otherwise being consistent and everyones a to b to c makes sense

it's soooo handy! Weiland has really good resources in general & she definitely explains it better than I was able to!

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

#WeeknightWriters the character realizing the Truth. their need becoming their Want. grappling with the reasons they are where they are.

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

yeah its kind of a tricky question, i had to think about it

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

#WeeknightWriters Using KM Weiland's character arc format, I go off the Want, The Need, The Ghost, and The Lie What does my character want, what do they need, what lie compels them toward the want, and what lurks beneath the surface that leads the character to believe the lie

#WeeknightWriters they kind of go together? Like I get a basic idea, and then I work on characters and the story idea grows around that

and to be clear im not saying this messaging shouldn't exist. that's silly, we're people who exist within communities and solidarity is one of our biggest strengths but people deserve to have their struggles acknowledged without that "silver lining" brought up constantly.

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

like of course people seeing and knowing they aren't alone is good, but when that's the vast majority of the messaging it's just kind of exhausting.

Spooky Simon 🛸🏳️‍⚧️ @spookiestsimon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

this is kind of a vague post but i really can't stand how often "you're doing this thing that's difficult and you are struggling but it will help other people not struggle so much" comes up in discussions about working on yourself

#HorrorWritersChat wow you guys never cease to thrill me with the stuff you're doing. I love seeing it. Here's your chance to promo. Yourselves, and others. Repost each other too. And if you've not done the chat yet? Put your book down, answer the questions, then come back and promo. It's the way.

#HorrorWritersChat wouldn't you like to know weatherboy I'm gonna say the opening bit from my dieselpunk dystopia: "Years before the Gasmask Ghoul, Nemo Byrne was seventeen and standing in the town market with his sister while she called him a name that was not his."

#HorrorWritersChat The stalks stretched tall over the fields, bending their backs to spread their leaves toward the farm house. Tufts of hair peeked out from husks, browns and blonds and blacks. In the stems, an eye wide and wild rolled, blinked. Settled on the farmer, sitting on his porch.
