All good things...

We All Fall Before the Harvest goes out of print on May 3rd.

I don't know when, or if it will ever go back into print, so if you've been wanting to read this one, now is the time to do so.

Cheers!

Misplaced by @brittnibrinn.bsky.social is fantastic, y'all! Weird fiction at its best! I've really enjoyed everything I've read from @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social They know good stories!

We can finally let the cat out of the bag, Steve! I certainly never had a sequel in mind, but when the man himself @stephenking.bsky.social calls you up asking to co-write part 2, you don't say no! We All Fall Before the Harvest 2! Coming soon. #stephenking #cmforest @timberghostpress.bsky.social

Watched Argylle tonight. While I enjoyed it, I can see why it tanked at the box office. Besides the misdirection of the marketing, the movie was downright ludicrous in the last act. Still, probably would have done much better as a streaming exclusive. I give it a 3/5. Have you seen it?

Tonight's movie. This South Korean horror anthology has been on my watch list for a while!

My current read. I was fortunate enough to be a guest at an event with @christinahenry.bsky.social last year (Books and Brews in Chicago) and got this one signed. Fun read so far!

Glass Houses by @madelineashby.bsky.social

I enjoyed the heck out of Company Town a few years back, so I'm very much excited for this one!

I thought it would be fun to check out what the Amazon AI had to say about Infested. I don't know how to buy an AI a beer, but I'm gonna have to try, lol.

Braving the cold to do some writing with pal @benvandongen.bsky.social this grey morning. We're both working on short stories. My main focus this year is novel #2, but if I can crack out a few shorts as well, I'll take it as a win. #cmforest #WritingCommunity @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social

It's funny, I absolutely adore Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive, but whenever I think of David Lynch, his role as Gus, the bartender on The Cleveland Show, always pops foremost in my mind. Even in my thoughts, he was subverting my expectations. The man was a legend. R.I.P.

My current read is this cool flip book! Side A is Roots Run Deep by @jkrawczyk.bsky.social and side B is The Dillo by @fuckmaxbooth.bsky.social It's a co-publication between @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social and @ghoulish.bsky.social Anywho, it looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun. Will report back.

I watched The Front Room last night! Once I understood the movie to be more a dark comedy than a straight horror film, I really dug it. Unfortunately, Sullivan did not agree and fell asleep.

Updated author shelf! It's still wild to me that I've been published in all these. Five years ago, seeing this picture would have blown my mind!

My copy of The Earth Bleeds at Night has arrived! This book is loaded with talent! And, bonus, if you get a physical edition, you can hold it up to your face like this, lol. Available on Amazon, or can be ordered through most bookstores.

Now reading. I would've liked the original cover, but I got this for like a buck, so I'm not complaining. You're probably thinking, I see that book at used bookstores all the time! Yes, but that version is likely the rewrite. Koontz rewrote the book in the 90s to make it less pervy, lol

I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend, Andrew Pyper. He was a huge inspiration to my writing and a great human being. If you haven't read Andrew's work, do so now and see how brilliant a storyteller he was.

The Earth Bleeds at Night is here! So much talent packed into this book! I'm proud to be part of it with my story 'It Is the Night!'.

Tonight's movie is Frankie Freako! It took a while for my copy to arrive (due to the Canada Post strike), but now that it's here, the party can begin! Also, fun little extra, my copy came with a Christmas card! #movienight #frankiefreako #ravenbanner #bitbot #hangar18media #stevekostanski

2024 was a busy year! I hit up numerous events. Books and Brews, dRead Con, and Frightmare in the Falls, just to name a few. I had some stories published. Meet a bunch of cool folks. Hung out with some friends. And had a new book published! Thanks to everyone for sticking with me, you rock! Cheers!

Fighting the urge to buy this happy butt hole plush from Tim Hortons. It's a losing battle.

Looks like this will be my last read of the year. But hey, finishing 2024 with a new @lairdbarron.bsky.social collection is the very definition of going out with style!

Tonight's movie. There's something about Italian horror movies from the 70s and 80s that just hits right for me. Needlessly drawn out scenes while synth music dominates the mix is chef's kiss.
