This is really dumb (on purpose) but surprisingly entertaining.

Posted some favorite books of 2025 on Instagram and forgot to add King Sorrow.
Felt bad for a minute, then realized Joe Hill will probably be fine even without my endorsement.
Anyway, for the record, I enjoyed King Sorrow.

A copy of my newest book is for sale on EBay for almost twice its cover price.
I can’t figure out the business model that makes that work.

A fantasy/adventure novella for everyone. When James journeys to Dreamland, not only does he experience exciting adventures but learns important life lessons as well, like setting goals and to never give up. A perfect gift for this Christmas season.

Your Favorite Scary Movie by Ashley Cullins

A great book for fans of the Scream movies.
Behind the scenes story of how the movies were made, with plenty of insights from the cast and crew. Super interesting.

Looking at the cast of Scream 7, I can’t help but be a little suspicious of Ethan Embry being a villain.

We went to see Sisu: Road to Revenge today. Just like the first movie, this was highly entertaining. Sure some suspension of disbelief is in order, but that doesn’t detract from the fun.
It’s as if Wolverine was in a John Wick Mad Max western set around World War II.

They should show this movie every day from now to New Year’s, sorta like they do with Hocus Pocus in October.

Our new book, A Dark Whimsy, came out yesterday, opening as number 30 on Zon’s “Monster Horror” chart, right between Cassandra Khaw and Stephen King. It’s a good start in great company.

A Dark Whimsy by @glawackus.bsky.social is a blast! It mixes horror with fantasy along with a great sense of humor. And Jellybiscuits. You'll have to read about Jellybiscuits! Highly recommend you pre-order.

Dear Bluesky,

Please forgive my constant plugging of our upcoming book release. It’s a compulsion I can’t ignore.

Daily reminder that it’s a noble deed to preorder books from indie authors.

On an unrelated topic, we’re hoping for more preorders for A Dark Whimsy, our contemporary dark fantasy tale of horror in the forest.

If we could somehow manage 10 preorders for A Dark Whimsy before its November 13th release, I’d consider it a major win.
Preorders for the ebook of A Dark Whimsy are now live on the Zon. A strong book release would be a neat thing, so please consider preordering.
