Thank you to everyone who has visited the new @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social PopUp space & supported the Crowdfund for a planned renovation at the OG location. Itβs a lot and I appreciate you π€

Relato de fΓ³rum em que a pessoa diz que: Accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was mortified. Today, I saw he emailed me this: βSubject: "Love you!" Hey - Just wanted to say that I didn't mean to laugh at you when you accidentally signed off on our call with a "love you." I just found it funny because I've definitely done that before, and I know it happens. I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :) Have a great weekend! We'll follow up about my call with Chris on Wednesday, as discussed.β

Always a treat when a writer pal asks me to make them a new profile pic!
I have a few slots available still before I close up for commissions in February.

I wrote a new story called "NIGHT MEAT" and you can read it for free on my blog, accompanied with some incredible artwork from the great Betty Rocksteady. www.interrobangbus.com/2026/01/17/n...
Cover for Wet Screams: A Monsterfucker Anthology. Edited by Mindy Rose & Chris Krawczyk There is a rather titillating image of a effeminate person laying back, eyes closed, hands up to the sides of their head, fingers deep into their hair. A devil looking reddish person with horns is leaning over and gently choking the reclining figure, while a clearly canine appearing figure is down there between their legs. Erotic and slightly frightening.
***Disclaimer*** I am an author in this anthology. I may be biased, especially for that last story which is a hoot by the way--a hoot & scoot & holler!*** This anthology was super steamy! I mean, it got me in the left front pocket which is where I tend to lean. I honestly had to be cautious of where I cracked it open to read because there was some definite need to do some deeply personal readjustments that led to some awkward glances. Just a heads up if you know what I mean. I must say that I loved it all! Congrats to Chris and Mindy for doing such a bang up/bang on job! MLD
My review is in!

Boring Season recap is up on the blog!
Weβre watching awards season movies because @jkrawczyk.bsky.social likes to see the good cinema, and I am a movie raccoon so I mostly hiss and complain that things are not cheesy or stinky enough for me.
Some things were good though!

I always get reflective around the New Year, so I ramble about the good, the ugly, and how to move forward. Then I made a little FUCK OFF merch to say goodbye to the past half a decade which threatened to take us out.
A flat lay of books and little ghosts merch on a red background. Itβs the Little Ghostsβ annual NO RETURNS SALE! The Little Ghosts are hibernating from Jan. 1-4th, our little bookshop is closed and quiet for the week. But online is our biggest sale of the year! Visit our website and look for the January Sale Category to find deep deals on books, stickers, and merch. January sale items are 45% off, Super Discount items are 65% off! We are selling these books at cost or less. If youβre looking for something that isnβt included, treat yourself to 10% off absolutely anything on the site. No discount codes necessary, deals automatically applied. Did you knowβ¦ Little Ghosts Books will have been open for 4yrs in March and we have never returned a single book to distribution/ a publisher. Returns lead to costs accrued by indie publishers, royalties lost to authors, and books being pulped. Every year we instead do the NO RETURNS SALE, offering 45-65% off titles to get them in the hands of readers and avoid the dreaded book returns. Orders placed during the annual hibernation will be packed for pickup for no additional cost or shipped out on Jan. 5th. Thanks so much for your support of our little spooky bookshop! Many more updates for 2026 headed your way real soon. Enjoy the sale! π€π»π

Can confirm.
The best Cosmic Horror is also Microscopic Horror.

BOXING DAY MERCH DROP!
Surprise! New No Gods No Billionaires Longsleeve Shirt available now. Designed and printed in house, small run based on demand. Excuse the silly photoshoot, as Chris mostly giggled at Jay the whole time.
Thanks for being a great model @jkrawczyk.bsky.social π€π»
Two black long sleeve shirts sit side by side. They have white print on them: The one to the left has ghosts reading books up the sleeves. The front says βA Good Story Will Haunt Youβ with a grim reaper reading a book. The one on the right says No Gods No Billionaires in a heavy metal inspired font, with flails on the sleeves.
In the past couple months, designed and printed two new long sleeve shirts for @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social
Hope to make fun pieces that Iβd be happy to wear, and was pretty pleased with how it these turned out. Hand printing sleeves is tricky! But I think worth the effort.

I wrote a small Christmas Horror for the blog!
Hope you all have a very cozy time, even when you receive a cursed object as a gift.

Second blog post is up!
I think that art (writing, painting, acting, film) teaches patience, empathy, discipline. I think creative practice can create community and change the world. Maybe thatβs why oligarchs are so desperate to crush it!

Social media is a hellscape, every tech company is evil, so we are back to blogging like itβs the early 2000s!
Just an intro to being a terrible entrepreneur, looking back on my first shop, and a little rant about the costs of everything. Yβknow, light stuff.

Peeking out of my space to let folks know that I still have a little room for cartoon avatar & pet portrait commissions before the holidays, and am open for Book Cover projects!
You can put eyeballs on the covers Iβve done here and see if the style suits you:

Did a couple of pet portraits for a pal today. Kato, his big smiley guy, was a pleasure to know for all of his 14yrs.
We donβt deserve dogs, but you would never know it from all the love they give us π€
