David Lynch opened and held a place for art that other creators could point to whenever a potential editor or producer wanted to turn their work down because it was too weird, and get that work made/published etc. He kept proving audiences weren't dumb.

This is a painful loss. David Lynch, I will miss you, your daring art and your truly unique personality.

Well, I received one box of Scott Nicolay's new novella _caterpillars_, but the second box is somewhere in the bowels of the USPS, last seen in Phoenix AZ. *sigh* So if you order now you still have a chance to win a copy of Scott's rare 2015 novella _after_. Only 23 copies of _caterpillars_ left!

Laird Barron is a titan of modern prose. The words he chooses, the pictures he paints, combine together for a phenomenal experience called Not A Speck of Light.

In our quest to bring you the best in contemporary weird fiction, few titles have had the lasting impact and influence of John Langan’s Bram Stoker Award-winning novel, The Fisherman, which Word Horde published in 2016.

Thrilled to share my recent cover art for Scott Nicolay’s fantastic chapbook ‘Caterpillars’, forthcoming from the always superb @dimshores.bsky.social . Totally honored to work with both Scott and Sam. Follow Dim Shores for preorder info on this and so much other great indy horror/weird fiction.

One episode into The Penguin and I'm hooked. Feels like it takes place in a world midway between Batman and The Sopranos. Great writing, intriguing characters, solid acting.

Authors and Publishers, it's worth checking this website which seems to be giving away free downloads of all kinds of ebooks, including some of my own.
Authors/publishers, go check a website called Oceanofpdf for your books.

They have 9 of mine that they are giving away for free and I've seen many belonging to people I know. Their email address is on the website.

They also have the gall to ask for donations...

I’ve been weirdly uninterested in reading fiction for a while. Nothing like a new Laird Barron collection to get me excited to sit down and read! @lairdbarron.bsky.social @badhandbooks.bsky.social
