"Just like Shirley Jackson, Taylor skillfully taps into the unique fears that can arise in domestic spaces and close-knit communities. Similar to Ken Kesey, she dives into the darker sides of individuals who are pushed to their limits by societal expectations." -Ginger Nuts of Horror

Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.

This account stuck my comic through an ugly AI filter, removed my @ from the bottom and blocked me when I called them out.

I just KNOW some monk was out here making fun of how slow a fellow monk was.😅
In case you needed ideas for a tat. 😆 🐇

We didn't publish regularly last year, which understandably led to a drop in subscriptions. We're returning to a full schedule for 2026, including a special themed issue edited by the wonderful Rebecca Summerling.

But we have lost some income, so if you like our stuff do consider subscribing.

What is everybody reading this weekend? I've just started The Hunter by Tana French.

I don't want much. I just dream of having my time no longer governed by other people's schedules.

I currently have an 8 second clip popping off on TT. I'm getting close to 2K views which is awesome but how can I harness that towards my actual book. 😅

Slice of Life Horror.

I invented it. I coined it.💅🏼

The phrase "I double dare you" is printed in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Until this moment I didn't realize that this was such an old statement.

Ice detained 4 native men. They've murdered the media's sacred white woman. They've gone into HIGH SCHOOLS with smoke bombs & pepper spray, attacking children. They don't care if you have the right paperwork.

We MUST be sanctuaries for our neighbors. We MUST act!

This is infuriating. The FBI is covering up for the ICE murder. This is obstruction of justice.
Breaking:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

If you have TT ⏰ , I've been over there for awhile talking about books & writing. Sometimes I share dad jokes.

Today, I shared 4 horror books I've read & 1 I haven't...

Come say hi!

I signed up for a cryptology class. Oh it will be fun! It's decoding and spy stuff and interesting problem solving!

.... When I tell you it's day two and I am going to die!!😭 No wonder the professor said he doesn't get a lot of lit majors.

Knocked out 1,600 words on my morning break! I'm so glad the holiday rush at my day job is over and I can focus on what I love again.

I'm less frightened of being judged for my subject material & also I don't let my lack of talent in an area prevent me from exploring it. Like if I've never written a genre before or a poetic style. I'll do it anyway, instead of waiting for when I've "improved".

#pretendpanel, thanks for your answers yesterday. It's a journey, and I love to see all the different stages among us.

January 3rd: How has your work evolved in terms of subject matter (e.g. setting, premise, vibes) since your earlier writings?

18 years ago with a poem published in Illya's Honey. I'd taken it to a workshop and the editor of the magazine happened to be there. She told me to send it in.

It has been the complete opposite of smooth sailing since!😅 But it truly was that moment I realized I was on the right path.
#pretendpanwl
Welcome to January, #pretendpanel! I want to hear all about your change/growth/evolution as a writer over time. People often forget what a journey it is!

January 2nd: What do you consider to be the beginning of your writing career?

In my newest novel, Maryneal 1962, Martha always tries to start fights. She's mean & catty. When my protagonist, Delah, takes matters into her own hands & hits back, Martha can't do anything but cry & bleed. She fucked around and found out. 💅🏼
Which of your characters is most likely to start a fight? Who finishes it? #WritingPrompt
