I stopped using a smartphone yesterday. I've quit drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol and doomscrolling is more challenging to give up. The corporations have us so cooked, man.

Trying to understand Gene Wolfe’s THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN is like trying to train a cat to sit on command. Mostly confusing and frustrating, but the times it accidentally happens are intensely satisfying.

The Osbourne family should totally bring back Ozzfest. An annual or biennial festival of modern and classic metal artists paying homage to its godfather. One can dream.

Ozzy’s music, with Black Sabbath and without, rearranged my DNA as a kid and continues to influence and inspire me and generations of metalheads, artists, and outlaws. “I told them I had ridden shooting stars and said I’d show them how.” That you fucking did, Ozzy. Fly high.

Imagine being so scared someone will laugh at your art that you bury it behind five layers of irony and quipping and running from sincerity, then shouting "cringe!" if others' art shows genuine feeling. Your one precious life, spent in constant fear of being laughed at until it ends. What a waste.

Here is the text of my keynote from the Bram Stoker Awards ceremony. It was a rant masquerading as a keynote. And in pure Becky fashion it is also a call to action. Why We Need Horror Authors in the Fight For the Freedom to Read: raforall.blogspot.com/2025/06/why-...

BRING HER BACK is proof that TALK TO ME was not a fluke. The Philippou brothers have the heat, man.

I am…skeptical about this Elden Ring movie. I feel like all of the FromSoftware dark fantasy game stories are best told to an active participant. Like, I wanna fight some feral creature in a cave, only to find out in an item description that he used to be a beloved duke or something.

On my way to see Sinners, I picked up The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social while wearing my Nosferatu hoodie. Vampires are so back.

Do you read Todd Keisling? I do, a totally normal amount! Had a great time at @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social for @toddkeisling.com and @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social ‘s signing today. By the moon’s eye!

Credits rolling on @compulsiongames.bsky.social’s SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT. Fun game with so much rich folkloric world building and character work. My wife and I yelled when we saw Ahmed Best in the credits. Really hoping for a sequel 👀

On this beautiful Independent Bookstore Day, do not buy from Amazon. Instead buy from people who give a damn about books and authors. Some of my favorites are @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social, @huxleyandhiro.bsky.social, @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social & @lahaskabookshop.bsky.social

A reminder on #TaxDay: while hardworking Delawareans work to file their taxes by tonight's deadline, the Trump administration is working overtime to give billionaires and big corporations tax breaks.

Man, THE DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH feels like if Charlie Kelly was sort of literate.

I just read THE HORROR AT RED HOOK and jesus christ. I knew it was going to be rough, much of Lovecraft's work is, but the final few paragraphs were so unbelievably over the top racist. I think I'll read @victorlavalle.bsky.social 's THE BALLAD OF BLACK TOM to get this bad taste out of my mouth.

My wife just showed me CABARET (1993, Alan Cumming as Emcee) and I am shocked at how nauseatingly relevant it is.

I hope Live Nation and Ticketmaster one day crawl back into the putrescent void from which they came. Absolute succubae, leeching time, money, and energy from people who just want to see a live show, to feel something for once.

Mumbling “Hill House, NOT sane…” to myself in the same cadence and tone as Gonzo in A Muppet Christmas Carol says “And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die…”

Just finished DEVIL’S CREEK by @toddkeisling.com and man what do you have against us blue eyed folk? How did we hurt you? Can I make amends somehow?

The Best Horror of the Year Vol. 16, edited by @datlow.bsky.social , has already introduced me to a new all time favorite story - Dodger by Carly Holmes. So, so unsettling and tragic. Can't wait to read more of these stories

Just finished @buehlmeister.bsky.social 's excellent fantasy novel THE BLACKTONGUE THIEF. Blown away. It is just so much fun. A much needed reminder to get tattoos of my cats.

Went to see Heretic today then came home and watched Paddington 2 with my fiancé…I had no idea.

Sober for one year, today. I have created more art this year alone than I have cumulatively over my whole life, I think. Letting go of the notion that inebriation aided my creativity has been difficult but oh so freeing.

Should be illegal to recommend a movie or book and say, "The twist in it is crazy."

Vortex Books and Comics rules. Bought some books, had a great time in the writer’s group, and got to meet Hylinus, who was considerate enough to refrain from urinating on me. @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social @briankeene.bsky.social @marysangiovanni.bsky.social pc: @urbancik.bsky.social

A big thanks to everyone I spoke or hung out with while at Authorcon. I was in a major creative slump but you have unslumped me. I hope you all live in a state of minimal slumpage.

Two awesome authors are opening a bookstore! Near my community! And it’s genre fic focused! My bank account is already crying!

Doing my now yearly rewatch of @flanaganfilm.bsky.social and @jamieflanagan.bsky.social ‘s MIDNIGHT MASS and thinking about how jealous I am of Sarah from HUSH getting to read it in its original novel form. I will forever hope for its publication, just like a physical release of the series 💀

After about a month’s slump due to an unforeseen move, I got about 1000 words written today. Feels great to be creative again.
