Sometimes you read a book for which writing a review after almost causes you an aneurysm. @scribeofhades.bsky.social's upcoming #Daytide is one such offender but man am I glad I had the chance to have an early look!

Review: Daytide by Chris Panatier | FanFiAddict
Daytide by Chris Panatier is a thought provoking, turpentine induced, rapture of a novel that carries you into a dark world filled with hope against all odd ...

A Sanitary Tech is sucked in to a series of toilet related disappearances that are straight from the bowels of Hell.
Cover of Chris Panatier's Shitshow A glowing porta potty in a grassy field in purple twilight, with menacing clouds behind it. The partially open door reveals an upside down picture of a glowing pink neon carnival with a Ferris wheel. Cover text reads: "A fun fair for all lovers of the horror genre and as quick and easy to devour as a corndog." Wendy N Wagner, author of Girl In The Creek. Shitshow Chris Panatier.

There are more of us
than there are monsters—
they’re loud
& all teeth,but their hearts
are just toys,echos
&emptiness,
nothing more
than shadows dancing
in the dark
of their own making—

there are more of us
than there are of them,
do not doubt it,
do not waiver,
do not give ground
at all

If you need an escape, SHITSHOW might give you a few hours of relief. Love you. Stay safe.
Five Star review for SHITSHOW: Not sure why this book is so underhyped, because it’s an absolute blast. Fast, filthy, and ridiculously fun, this is pure 80s-style horror energy done right. It moves quick, hits hard, and never takes itself too seriously. I mean… who doesn’t want to follow creepy carnival mayhem into an alternate universe through a porta potty? That alone tells you the vibe. Sunday is a fantastic lead, Ms. Poppy is iconic, and the whole thing is soaked in dark humor, gross-out chaos, and that perfect blend of absurd and sinister. There’s something genuinely stinky going on in Texas, and I loved every second of it. Weird, gross, and wildly entertaining, this was just a straight-up good time.

Like everything Jess writes, HEADCHEESE is an absolute mind fuck.

I finally got Headcheese from Jess Hagemann today, and the illustrations are done by @scribeofhades.bsky.social and are
delightful and disgusting. This book is going to mess me up! Also surprise #bookmail from @rdspress.bsky.social ! This one by one of my faves @timmcgregor.bsky.social !!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Omg this book!! Let me start by saying this is the funniest fucking book I’ve read in a long time. The footnotes literally killed me. It’s hilarious, but also brilliant and emotional. @scribeofhades.bsky.social
is a master of the emotional roller coaster! 5 ⭐️ for this weird wonderful book!!

"But Mothtown is silent... It's hard to believe it could ever have been a town, with its naked hills burning beneath the stars. Its wild twists of woodland. The loudest quiet."

Just hit 200 pgs and nearly 54k words on my 2027 novel. I'll always cherish the feeling of creating something from nothing, struggling with the story until that magical point where it clicks and blooms into something special. It's a singularly human experience that AI will never be able to match. 🖤
