-YHWH Nailgun is doing something unique with raw abandon. That goes a long way with me.

I was prepared to hate this review, but then it got super nice at the end! Thanks to the the man with the kind face @jchaplinsky.bsky.social for taking a chance on Troll. You’re not the first person to tell me it’s something of an antidote to Fuccboi. @whiskeytit.com

Stop by the @whiskeytit.com booth 563 at #AWP and pick up an ultra-limited preview copy of @davidscotthay.bsky.social’s latest mindbreaker: The Butcher of Nazareth (official release - Feb. 2026). If you check the fine print on that badass cover, you'll notice that I wrote the introduction!

Holy shit! Had an outpatient procedure today and woke up to this. Am I dreaming? Am I in Oz? What a dazzling, humbling slate of writers to see my name among. Huge thanks to James Nulick and @anxietypress.bsky.social including me in this murderer’s row. 🔥🖤
