The last book I had the pleasure of reading and editing is by the amazing @emroy.bsky.social. Her new book, Bloodletting Go, comes out soonish! Punky and full of queer awesomeness.

#HorrorWritersChat question 4 (last question but stick around in ten minutes for the outro):

As it’s Pride Month, let’s talk queer authors and books. Tell us the last one you read and tag the author if they’re on BlueSky.

Quote post, and don't forget to include the hashtag!

what can you expect from my upcoming novella, BLOODLETTING GO?

📼 set in the 90s
🤘 punk rock
🚫 anticapitalism
🌈 queer as fuck
⁉️ lynchian

think Green Room (2015), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), and Jennifer’s Body (2009).

i am so fucking excited to release this weirdness into the world

Had so much fun drawing cover art for @emroy.bsky.social , who approached me with one of the best pitches for a book.

Lynchian…. Green Room-esque… Blood everywhere…. No really add more blood. Awesome! Thank you!

I love these ‘shattered mirror in a punk bar bathroom’ vibes

bluesky crunched the quality of the video so here’s the cover on its own. this project is very close to my heart and is weird as fuck so i hope you like it this fall!!

i read the hunger games for the first time when i was around 10 or 11 years old. sunrise on the reaping has recontextualized so much with bittersweet nostalgia and gut wrenching parallels and political commentary. i fucking loved it

TOMORROW!
Our first ever BOREAL event happens in the dark spooky woods of Maine! Or rather in the wonderful woods-adjacent town of Gray at the Gray Public Library!
