Forgot to post my @undertakerbooks.bsky.social haul from last week.

Excited to check out "Let Ghost Sleep" and "Frozen Echoes"! And I'm exceptionally happy to have a physical copy of "Straw World and Other Echoes from the Void"! It is a nice addition to my library ❤️

We all need an occasional reminder, so listen up. Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

Remember the really solid local election results in Texas? We have the energy to defeat this bill.
Update: this session’s school library book ban bill- SB 13 - has been added to the calendar for Monday. 😩

Keep calling your reps to urge them to run out the clock on this horrible bill.

If this passes, we will not be able to undo the harm done to TX public school libraries.

"Say Uncle" by @ryanb4890.bsky.social is a poignant story that concisely illustrates the many horrors birthed from toxic masculinity while entwining it with the occult. The narrative comforts with humor before cutting with fantastical & real horror.

A fantastic book that hits childhood nostalgia.

Just got my books from @ghostorchidpress.com

I'm very excited to read all of them 😊

Make sure to throw some love at independent book publishers and buy their books. I know they say don't judge a book by its cover, but these are beautiful ❤️

"...And Out Come The Toys" by @brandenburgdm.bsky.social is absolutely brutal. There are a few visceral scenes in there that legitimately made me feel queasy while also getting emotionally gut punched.

It was an absolute delight to read and I look forward to my toy induced nightmares.

We announced Say Uncle as Uncle Buck meets Hellraiser, so naturally I decided to celebrate launch day by going to Uncle Buck's Fishbowl and I will be live Tweeting (I can't say Skeet. I think of "Get Low" everytime)

Another local indie bookstore I want to shout out is Politics and Prose 🖤 they have three locations here in DC, and they often host cool events!

And I'll throw in, they have both of my 2025 releases up for pre-order 💛😈
