I rewatched The Black Phone last night prior to Black Phone 2’s release. I loved the film Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social made based off @joe-hill.bsky.social’s short story. Excited to see what the second movie brings! youtu.be/DdR-gzFZoDk?...

It was a great @sgj.bsky.social’s event last night. This one in celebration of The Earthdivers Omnibus. Wonderful conversation and a lot of great insight on the comic book process. Always fun spending the evening at a Stephen Graham Jones book event.

I really enjoy a good sci-fi/horror mash-up and Mason Coile’s upcoming “Exhiles” is just that. If you’re ready to bring the scares to Mars, pick this one up in September!

I think that if you're a writer and you don't invent a word every now and then you're missing out on a solid chunk of the fun.

I recently rewatched a favorite movie of mine. I’m a sucker for a good coming-of-age story and this one from 2013 doesn’t disappoint. It has some humor, a bit of a romance, and strained family dynamics. The cast is great. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it and a good summer film.

I’ve been reading through @thewarriormuse.bsky.social’s terrific horror collection “Blue Sludge Blues and Other Abominations” the last few days. I’m loving it. If you’re looking for some great short story collections, Shannon has a few you can check out!

Attended another awesome Stephen Graham Jones event. @sgj.bsky.social always provides some great insights, whether that’s in writing, horror, there’s something great to take home with you, along with his latest novel. “The Buffalo Hunter Hunter” is a splendid addition to Stephen’s catalog!

I had so much fun last night at @maryrobinettekowal.com’s event at @boulderbookstore.bsky.social for “The Martian Contingency.” I’ve been a fan of her books and @writingexcuses.bsky.social for a while and was so glad to finally attend one of her events!

Check out the latest episode on the @talkscaredpod.bsky.social! What a wonderful chat between Neil and @scottderrickson.bsky.social. I loved it. If you haven’t watched any of Scott’s films, I recommend that as well. THE GORGE was so much fun and there’s BLACK PHONE 2 coming later this year.
OFF BOOK EPISODE!!

This is a goal-accomplished moment - as @scottderrickson.bsky.social comes to Talk Scared about his career in horror, his new movie, THE GORGE, and delights in the fact that one of his movies ruined my life!

An absolute pleasure.
