The mytharc is the best

Appreciate that. Will do my best, no other choice atp

I’ve heard all sorts of nightmares from folks about the drugs, the surgeries, oh man

I’ve got too many horrifically weird stories to write before I die. And you’re gonna read ‘em and watch ‘em!

Damn, I’m gonna die way early if I don’t (1) make drastic lifestyle changes, (2) go on BP and GLP-1 meds, or (3) have bariatric surgery where they carve up my stomach n shit.

BP meds start today. Gotta change for my wife and daughter. I tried to leave early in my 20s, but I’m determined to stay now

Shopify is great, I just was overpaying for the simple needs I had. I went with carrd.co for $19/year

Thanks for your help! For me, I think my needs are just too basic for everything this and others offer. I went with carrd.co for $19/year. Just don’t wanna deal with e-commerce anymore lol

Squarespace can be beautiful. For now, my needs are met with carrd.co for $19/year. And I’m doing much separately through Bonfire. I don’t want to handle anything anymore lol

I appreciate your help! Even that is a step too far beyond what I need :)

Noted! Thanks for that

Imma leave Shopify and make a whole new author site. And I’ll sell my merch through Bonfire instead.

Could I get some website suggestions? What are y’all using??

(Not going back to Wordpress and Wix is a no)

Ha! From what she’s told me, he was a very timid and shy boy, but always kind. He went to the same high school as my grandma and great auntie. My grandma remembers their principal closing the curtain on him during a talent show cuz he was being too rock n roll

It’s almost my great auntie’s birthday, so I’ll share a little fun fact: She used to babysit Bob Dylan. He grew up in a home off 7th Ave in Hibbing, Minnesota and the home my great grandpa built from scratch was off 6th Ave.

I have finally sat down to read Never Whistle at Night cover to cover, rather than random stories.

This book is so great.

@shanehawk.com and @tvayyyy.bsky.social did an amazing job.

And I heard the intro in @sgj.bsky.social's voice perfectly.

Just, go get this book and read it, y'all.

Appreciate the kind words! :)

Génération Body Horror cover

List of recs

Nothing makes me more proud than seeing friends recommended in French books.

Never Whistle at Night being recommended in Generation Body Horror certainly means @shanehawk.com did it right!

Likewise, John! Ted is coming too.

I think Ted and I are gonna be on a panel there too! But that’s still in the works I think

Logo made to celebrate 10 years of StokerCon. This year it will be held in Pittsburgh. Logo has the haunted house-shaped Stoker award in the center, two zombie hands coming out of either side, a ring emblem that says STOKERCON TEN YEARS PITTSBURGH along with a banner that says 2016 - 2026 And in the background, blood drips down from the back of the logo

StokerCon 2026 ticket purchased and travel booked! I’ll be on at least one panel and have some ARCs of a certain anthology that won’t be out until late September…

Who will I see there??

Screenshot of a Publishers Marketplace deal report: Dec 2, 2025 Imprint: Counterpoint Press Former Wisconsin Poet Laureate and founding director of Indigenous Nations Poets Kimberly M. Blaeser's RED ANTS, a short story collection which centers Anishinaabe characters who bring traditional tribal stories into new spaces and contemporary experiences, with genre elements ranging from magical realism, humor, SFF, horror, futurism, and speculative literary fiction, to Shane Hawk in his first acquisition for Counterpoint, in a nice deal, in a pre-empt, for publication in fall 2026, by Rachel Letofsky at Transatlantic Literary Agency (NA).

ICYMI :)

(Agents representing Native or First Nations writers with literary fiction or nonfiction manuscripts are welcome to send them to submissions@shanehawk.com)

Turned in the manuscript for my first acquisition—what a lovely experience! My eyes are joyously fried.

RED ANTS, a story collection by Kimberly Blaeser (White Earth Nation), publishes in October with Counterpoint Press. I'm so honored to be a part of this book's journey as its editor.

The entire Never Whistle at Night anthology absolutely rocks, but ‘Behind Colin’s Eyes’ by @shanehawk.com sat me straight down. A killer, close-perspective trip into the woods in a subtly desperate search for dinner gone way wrong.

Hohóú for reading and supporting our stories! Glad you dug mine as it’s like 80% true to my real family lore (Colin is my dad as a boy). In the sequel anthology coming out Sept 22nd, I wrote a sequel story that takes place 50 years later and it’s titled IVOЯIES. Cover reveal soon… NativeHorror.com

Flyer for Shane Hawk’s virtual visit to Dr. Krista Collier-Jarvis’s Indigenous Horror class at Mount Saint Vincent University. Includes a portrait of Shane and the book cover of NWAN. The title is: A talk with Cheyenne & Arapaho Storyteller Shane Hawk

I’d like to thank Dr. Krista Collier-Jarvis for inviting me to virtually visit her Indigenous Horror class today to talk Never Whistle at Night, horror in general, and craft. Read some of a new short story too. And it’s always fun to field lit analysis questions about your own work. Hohóú.

Very glad to share. Hohóú for taking the time to read it
