Next to an image of the book cover, text reads "From Cat Voleur, twenty essays about the messy, the problematic, the fabulous," then the book title.

It remains awesome that you use your platform to do this. We recently opened preorders on Cat Voleur's "Queer Tastes: Unconventional Representation in Horror Films."

And see, this works on multiple levels because 1) Batman would never steer you wrong and 2) he needs a little bit of crime to do his job, so funding a fictional bank robbery anthology would give him something to do.

A copy of LITTLE RED FLAGS: STORIES OF CULTS, CONS, AND CONTROL edited by Noelle W. Ihli and Steph Nelson. Cover features a sinister-looking man holding a puppet of a woman in a red dress on his palm, while his other hand holds the strings. MWA-HA-HA!

I got my copy of this anthology, which contains not only a cool story by me, but cool stories by others. Check it out!

Thanks Gabino!

I'm especially mad about the horrors of white Christian Nationalism today, so would love it if more people read Tradwife and got (constructively) angry with me

(*possibly I mean "destructively," but why split hairs...?)

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s share books and boost all signals. Almost done with the novel, so I’m thinking/hoping/dreaming about my next contract. Know what helps? Selling books! Seriously. Anyway, it’s almost half off! Go ahead, share what you love.

I love themed horror anthologiesβ€”and here’s a specific theme I’d never thought of before! Is it too early to call it a steal?

Seems like a perfect day for OUT OF CURIOSITY AND HUNGER, a short creature feature novel I would describe as The Very Hungry Caterpillar x National Geographic, but make it horror. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat in the mood for something Gothic this spring? How about a story about a maid who goes to work for a mad scientist? Think Frankenstein and Crimson Peak had a baby together. Available in paperback, ebook and audio book.

My debut novella, THE NIGHT BEGINS, has been getting a lot of 5 stars lately. My newest book, MARYNEAL 1962, could do with that same love. Especially since early reviews have compared it to Shirley Jackson.

If you liked my whale answer to Q2, please check out my poem β€œAqueous” in Mausoleums of the Eye and other poems. I channeled all of my fear of whales into that piece!

The chicken crossed the road. Then it crossed another and another. When stopped by passersby and asked why it was crossing road after road, it merely looked at them with beady eyes. Then it whispered, β€œMind your own business.”
