Now I get up around whenever
watching Scream 4 in a hotel in Barstow, California. Or, "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when Ghostface began to take hold."

I Was A Teenage Slasher
1989, Lamesa, Texas. A small town driven by oil and cotton—and a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business.

My last book for 2025 was "The Only Good Indians" by @sgj.bsky.social. It's been so long since I have read a book that unsettled me the way this did. Truly great horror title. Can't wait to read more by them and other Indigenous authors.

I had this idea for a Ripley's Believe It on Not cartoon based in the world of Nathan Ballingrud's incredible novella THE BUTCHER'S TABLE. I reached out to Kieran Castaño, current artist for the actual Ripley's daily cartoon and he took it on 😃 It turned out so well! Happy birthday to Nathan!🎁❤️

So deeply grateful to everyone who picked up BLACK FLAME and gave it a chance this year. My weird little book about film restoration, New York Jewish culture, genocide, and repression got to touch some hearts, which is all any author can really ask for.

The Outsider's my favorite King from the last . . . twenty years? so good. did an ep of @thekingcast.bsky.social on it. maybe my first ep there/with them?
A pair of Stephens to finish off the year. One @stephenking.bsky.social and one @sgj.bsky.social, both great! I actually started them back in October for spookity season, but got derailed by Hallowe'en preparations. Then November was a prick. But they must be done by year's end. They must!

Finished @sgj.bsky.social’s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter training to a frigid Wisconsin, feeling even more immersed in the final chapters. And dang, few authors know their characters as well as SGJ. My favorite book this year.

I need to read many more books in 2026, but my favourites this year were, with very little contest at all, BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social and THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by @sgj.bsky.social.
Both of those are real-deal heavyweight horror epics. Unbelievable.
