Is growing old just cutting yourself shaving every time because you’re growing too many skin tags? If so, then this friend of mine is really starting to show his age.

Hi, void.
AFTER DARK VOL 1 is out in under two weeks. I’m so excited to see my story “Anchor Tenant” included in this horror anthology from @rowanprosepub.bsky.social.
I used to think I’d never escape my retail job. I did. But my main character doesn’t. Get it September 2!

WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME. @natcassidy.bsky.social. A certain undoing of a certain character (that’s vague enough to be spoiler-free, right?). Now that’s a piece of writing. 👏🏼

#HeartEyes — the rom-com horror mashup we didn’t know we needed, complete with a bizarre runaway plot and half-baked characters, but if you go into it not taking it seriously, you’ll have a bloody good time. 😍

27 years ago today towns across eastern Ontario declared states of emergency and set up temporary shelters as power grids failed under up to four inches of ice.
Here’s a story about a man who refused to leave his home—and faced his demons as a result.

Can't believe I just discovered She Wore Black. Love the conversation between @agathaandrews.bsky.social and @timmcgregor.bsky.social—and Tim's advice on character (which I struggle with): once you have your premise, think about the person who's least prepared to take that journey. Simple but solid.

It’s been a minute—I’ve been busy promoting the novella and, honestly, just generally fatigued with writing—but I’m starting to feel good about a few short stories I’ve been chipping away at.
