It's Release Day for @santiagoeximeno.bsky.social's ALICIA IS IN THE BASEMENT! We're thrilled & honored to share this harrowing novella with you. Translated by @alixloop.bsky.social Art by @jennacha.bsky.social Available at all bookstores or direct from us: store.tenebrouspress.com

Cover art by Jenna Cha. In front of a smoky grey-green sky, an enormous dispassionate head rises from a desolate waste-scape and vomits up hundreds of
dessicated corpses; to its left a small man floats in the air, curled in feel position.
Blurbs by Carson Winter and Emma E. Murray.

Happy Bloomsday. Pls share your praise and or hatred of the impenetrable, confounding, frustrating, & brilliant work that is James Joyce’s Ulysses. Read it as a dare & fell in love with its depth & revelation of possibilities of what literature can be. #BookSky #Bloomsday #JamesJoyce #Ulysses

I walked out in the middle of a book club meeting for the first time in my life. I can’t handle the discourse of “I just don’t like this book because I don’t like it and I also have no actual analysis of the work’s form, style, and or context.” #BookSky

Although I am thoroughly entertained by the cheap shots and glib literary criticism circulating on social media, I will make no judgements until I actually see R.F. Kuang’s own words on this matter. #BookSky

GET TO KNOW YOUR BRAVE NEW WEIRD AWARD WINNERS In Alexander James' "Silver Wires & Sweet Water", escapees from a prison camp chance upon an abandoned farm & find it more difficult to move on than anticipated. Preorder BRAVE NEW WEIRD: The Best New Weird Horror v.4 now: store.tenebrouspress.com 🖤☠️

Red and black graphic box featuring cover art by Matt Blairstone; a human form seated, one hand on a book emblazoned with the Tenebrous skull & laurel. Where the screen cuts from red to black, the flesh is stripped from the human, exposing its skeleton. It thrusts its harm into the air, transforming into a death's head moth. It looks pretty cool.
And then there's a picture of the author next to it, who looks even cooler.

How much did you earn at your first job? $5.75/hour at a Burger King. In two months I became a shift manager trainee & received a 25¢ raise. I later quit because they wouldn’t give me the day off to watch PPV of Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock for the WWF championship at Wrestlemania XIV.

I love how all the MAGA Catholics were hoping that an American pope would be a straight up reactionary, but turns out that he’s just remixing a bunch of tracks from Francis’ playlist.

Maybe this is obnoxious, but my latest method for finding new reads is to lurk through #BookSky accounts gushing about upmarket contemporary fiction & romantasy. The books they strongly dislike are almost certainly right up my alley. I mean they mostly hate on horror and LitFic, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finished: The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. J. Henry Waugh, Prop. by Robert Coover. Truly unnerving modernist novel confronting the temptation to escape inward against the soulless drudgery of white collar professionalism. Tragically romantic in the spirit of the American Pastime. #BookSky

It’s a bummer that #BookSky is full of mediocre indie writers using AI slop illustrations for likely AI slop self-published books. These same writers also do nothing, but self-promo and don’t actually discuss literature. I may be spending way too much time blocking folks.

One of the more interesting parts of my marriage is to tell my spouse (not raised Christian) Bible stories to explain literary allusions that they’re unfamiliar with. Told them about Jacob and Esau and they exclaimed incredulously “How can this family be so fucked up to each other?!” #marriage
