Meet my newest creation: Jasper the Festive Moth of Doom! I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered him. Jasper fervently believes that just because he's a moth of doom doesn't mean that he can't also be a fun and celebratory fellow.

🚨 ATTN Writers, Book Club Scams
For new writers: Money should always flow TOWARDS the writer. NEVER pay for promo.
I've been getting roughly one of these emails a week for the last month. I contacted the real club to give them the heads-up (who confirmed the obvious scam) so I feel I can share

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

Cheating and picking two:
1) the foreword to Thomas Ha’s UNCERTAIN SONS AND OTHER STORIES, because I love the stories and it was great to work with Thomas and Michael at Undertow.
2) “Reading Weird Fiction in an Age of Fascism”, because it’s kind of a précis of everything I’ve been doing.

A dark, frightening and visceral read that treats the body as a haunted house that the protagonist can't leave. If you're looking for some truly unsettling horror, I highly recommend The Graceview Patient by @caitlinstarling.com!

Writing can be a lonely business, but it doesn't have to be! Even the best of us go through fallow periods, self-doubt, multiple abandoned drafts. The trick is not to let any of that derail you entirely, or to believe that other writers are your competition. They're your colleagues & your champions.
What sort of message do you hope people take away from your most recent book/wip? #WritingPrompt
