Don't ask me why, but seeing Bad Hand Books on Stephen King's Wikipedia page gave me vertigo. Please understand...as many of you know, the name of my publishing business started as a dark joke I used to tell myself after I was laid off from a corporate gig in 2018. (1/2)

Oh, you know...it's just little old Bad Hand Books popping up on Stephen King's Wikipedia page.

I saw/heard the author of this forthcoming book @joanneanderton.bsky.social talking about it on a panel at World Fantasy Con and it sounded ace. I’m really bad at taking notes/remembering things from cons (must be the bar…) so glad to be reminded of the title here.
Can a person haunt a ghost? @joanneanderton.bsky.social explores the question in PIXERINA: A Haunting, coming from Bad Hand Books in April of 2026.

"Beautifully, gently haunting.”

Interesting how quickly LITERALLY TRYING TO STARVE KIDS became the official position of the GOP as Trump heads to SCOTUS to fight the distribution of SNAP benefits.

There's still time to subscribe to THE END TIMES by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social with special contributions by Stephen King before the first issue launches November 19. We'll leave subscriptions open for a little while after that, but don't wait.

Nobody can predict what's going to make a hit title. We do our best to simply publish books that make us feel something. If we feel it, we're making the bet that you will, too.

I’m so psyched for this! Right now I’m frantically trying to finish up a few new additions—and there’s also one proposed feature to this release that means so much to me I actually can’t allow myself to think about it until it’s done—but in the meantime, getcher preordering fingers a-whirling!
Cover reveal time! I KNOW A PLACE: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours is a new collection by @natcassidy.bsky.social featuring over a dozen stories, novelettes, and a novella!

The cover was designed by @alandistro.bsky.social
