We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.

We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.

And we won.

This is YOUR city!

That’s my dude!
Screenshot of text from the linked article: “ Keith Rosson, whose latest novel Coffin Moon was released earlier this month, was the first to take action, saying: "A reader informed me that BL librarians were striking, and I looked into it, notifying the other participants. While I'm entirely confident that the British Library and their employees will reach a meaningful resolution, I have profound respect for librarians as a profession - I dedicated a recent novel to them - and won't cross a picket line."

The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed.

Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

Time to preorder your copy of TALES OF SLEY HOUSE 2025! Contributors got a sneak peek and I can tell you this is such a fun idea and they did it SO WELL! One thing we can all stand to have a little more of these days is fun and this anthology delivers.

www.sleyhouse.com/product-page...
The cover for Tales of Sley House 2025. On it are three sinister looking siblings, the Sley siblings, drawn in the style of the EC comic book series “Tales from the Crypt.” They’re in a cobwebby old manor with lightning behind them illuminating a dark figure on the other side of the window pane. The three of them are thumbing through old books, tending to fanged carnivorous plants, and admiring a radioactive looking green glowing skull. There are little bubbles like how vH1 used to do pop-up video that say “Come see the amazing holler owl!” “The coffee pots are empty and all the zombies are here!” and “A monster did it!”

Kind of funny that publishing solved the problem of people not buying novellas or story collections by simply calling them "novels." It totally works. Turns out people just really like the word "novel" I guess.

That Day Keith Rosson's #FolkSongsForTraumaSurgeons won the Shirley Jackson Award for best collection. Over. The. Moon. Superb Speculative Fiction. If you loved #FeverHouse and #DevilByName to get here, this is a good one to bridge the gap!

Me and my friend (The incredibly talented writer Perry Ruhland) collaborated by having me draw a ghost, and then he wrote a wonderful piece of scary micro-fiction for it. Check it out here, and read some of his other work!

Today’s books and beer (for size comparison) - Bolaño’s ANTWERP (in a convenient pocket size) and K-PUNK, the collected writings of Mark Fisher from 2004-16 (maybe kangaroo-pocket-sized, if even), plus a Clean Press West Coast IPA from Fast Fashion.
Two books - a small ANTWERP by Roberto Bolaño and a massive K-PUNK by Mark Fisher - next to a glass of delicious beer.

Light reading deserves a light beer. “Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature” and a pint (or several) of Douglas Lager. One’s a PNW local, one’s Erich Auerbach.

Today’s book pick-up and a Purple Haze beer at McMenamins. Randomly heard about the Dazai and put in an order, but and tonight I’m going to see James at the Showbox, so wanted a lil’ book to read on the bus and in line.
Photo of two books - No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai and Rip It Up by Kou Machida - on a table, near a purple beer. The beer is Purple Haze - a boysenberry-infused ale.
