Down to the wire & just finished the final interview w/ @sgj.bsky.social bsky.social for my book on his horror canon. Some stories have teeth. This one bites back. Can't wait to share the blood, sweat & fears behind a life shaped by monsters. @fangoria.bsky.social

Saw this wild self-own circulating around the matrix today, which is also an excellent example of the absence of irony. 🥸

Lovin' the latest SlasherNation column by @sgj.bsky.social in @fangoria.com! The question Jones asks is not an easy one: "If not exactly justice, though, then what is it slashers are after? Jason, Leatherface, Jigsaw, Freddy & of course, Billy, they're all there, but you'll have to read to find out.

From this day onward, March 18th will forevermore be known as Buffalo Hunter Hunter day!
@sgj.bsky.social's latest offers a powerful & haunting tale of loss & survival, the entanglements of memory, history & truth. At the same time, it's a reminder that books & stories never exist in isolation!

@sgj.bsky.social shared some cool insights w/ @paperbackbish.bsky.social at The Buffalo Hunter Hunter launch. Jones at his best: taut dialogue & brooding descriptions of the land, to heart-wrenching details of colonial violence, w/ an avenging vampire roaming Blackfeet territory to settle scores.

When the world seems to be burning around us, stories remind us that there's always a tomorrow. @sgj.bsky.social's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, which lies after but also in & between Ledfeather & Good Indians, is confirmation in the best of ways. Such an honor to be there in the acknowledgements, too!
