Please nominate for this, yall. It's so fun and whimsical. You can nominate your own work, work you loved, however you like. (And if you wanted to make "Hammerhead" one of your horniest scene nominations I certainly would not be mad.) 🫀

Also, enjoy my best dog, Laser-Clover.

D. Matthew Urban killed it with his drabble. Check his, and all the other great entries on the latest episode!
ME: "The very idea of a literary prize is absurd. Elevating one writer above their peers as 'the best'? Preposterous!"

ALSO ME, walking up to your park bench and leaning down to stare directly into your eyes: "Did you see they announced the winner of the DLP Halloween Drabble contest?"

In Space No One Can Hear You Drabble… unless they’re listening to @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social that is…!

So fun to hear my entry and all the others read out for the Halloween season. Thank you for the awesome Drabble contest 👻

Yay! My morbid drabble was read on the @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social podcast!!! I’m not a space person, but it was fun to think up a little variation on the theme!

Had a cool moment at a book club last night. TWO people told me they loved SOFT TARGETS and PORTRAITS OF DECAY, respectively.

Writing is so, so hard—but having those real life interactions makes it all worth it.

Early start as my wife is away on a craft group trip.
Had a great idea for the @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social drabble competition, for the theme "Space Halloween".

I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!

But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

I went on the Dead Languages Podcast and all I got was this creeping sense of unease as the world disintegrates around me! Listen to me chat with PLM and Carson about disorientation in horror, fun ways to collapse reality, and NYC's plague of sexy, sexy rats

New. Fucking. Episode. We talk with D. Matthew Urban about reality breakdown in horror.
