Pig races are the biggest bust, man. 5 minutes of the same pig puns you've already heard, then 10 seconds of action. I don't care about the backstory of Ham Solo or The Notorious PIG, just lemme see them hogs run.

Anybody read this graphic novel by @tananarivedue.bsky.social and Steven Barnes, illustrated by @marcofinnegan.bsky.social? I'd kill to get any Due novel in theatres—or miniseries?! Looking at you, African Immortals Series—but I really need to see Aisha's story on film.

@cohalloran.bsky.social is an author of dark fiction and president of @howlsociety.bsky.social. His novel "Pushing Daisy" is a haunting exploration of grief and toxic relationships. I loved his portrayal of flawed characters, which is also my favorite way to write stories!

My Barnes & Noble has 3 copies of SILK & SINEW on the shelves… just below @stephenking.bsky.social!
Big ups to @badhandbooks.bsky.social for making this happen.
And my son was very kind and patient and happy about this hoopla but finally he asked, “Can we go look at the DVDs now?”

If you haven't had a taste of Carson's short fiction, what are you even doing? He's constantly coming at the world from new angles. Check out that geometry in his debut collection 🔥
PORTRAITS OF DECAY is out NOW! I couldn’t be prouder of this book—the short story is such a fundamental part of the horror genre, it feels especially exciting to see my work collected.
To kick off PORTRAITS’ birth, I wanted to talk about some of the works that served as its inspiration.
