Put together an ad for a signing at Sweets Of Grace a couple weeks ago and Meta's AI decided to design new versions of the ad for me. They even redesigned my book covers in the first and last versions. Thanks, Meta AI!* *sarcasm. Fuck AI.

Four shitty ads Meta AI designed for me, each shittier than the last.

Been super busy today, so I'm just getting a chance to pimp this. I am my usual manic self for almost 90 minutes, but @scottymilderhorror.bsky.social Scotty did a great job reining me in, as usual. Let me know what you think! open.spotify.com/episode/3cRO...

Thanks to everyone who bought a copy of AN HOUR BEFORE DARK yesterday! #8 in Cosmic Horror new releases and #10 in Collections new releases. Also, thanks to everyone whose review might have helped spur those buying decisions! Time to start writing the next book I guess.

Another great blurb for An Hour Before Dark, this time from the inimitable @judithsonnet.bsky.social! Have you ordered your copy yet?

Cover of the book "An Hour Before Dark" by Larry Hinkle with eyeless creature in the woods. Quote from author Judith Sonnet: Larry Hinkle makes short fiction cool again. One of the strongest writers in the field. Get excited when you see his name."

Looks like we'll be here at least through Halloween, so Skelly Tevalas went up tonight. Hope to get the rest of the decorations set up this weekend.

Great and totally fair review of my novella. Have you found yourself lost on the Trail yet?

larry hinkle - 🎃 @thatscarylarry.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Thanks for the kind words! You'll be happy to know my next book is a collection of interconnected tales that take place on or around the Trail. You'll get some answers, and probably lots more questions. 🤣

Haven't been on the socials much lately; too much craziness going on with the move. But one place I know I'll be is the Frightreads Book Festival next weekend. Stop buy and say hi while I'm still in Maryland!
