A friend just sent me this at random and without reason and all I can say is that the people know my brand.

And like I said this is very humbling and I know things are tight across the board for everyone, but we're trying to do what we can in the interim.

Feel free to share my venmo around too!

Planning on finally starting to tackle this next month. Planning on finishing his corpus before the end of the year.

I realize his "moment" was a few years ago, but he is maybe the only writer working today that feels like he writes "to me."

Picked up holds for the wife, but also browsed the new books shelf and these caught my eye.

So, this monster just arrived...Editors - if you're into experimental lit and want me to pitch a book that has literally 60 authors - please DM.

It's releasing sometime in 2025.

Missing our boy on this All Souls day.

Amazing how you just wake up one day and the grief cuts like it all happened yesterday.

Love you, Frankie.

Happy Halloween friends!

My favorite short story collection of all time, Nathan Ballingrud
to me presents the very best horror and the feeling of existential dread in these stories. Often I pitch this to people as "if Raymond Carver wrote folktales."

We'll start off with some spooky books - Just an incredibly chilling and brutally beautiful book that I still think about after reading it a few years ago.

Ugh I love these so much!

Btw I finally framed and hung your art! My oldest (7) looooves it.

Sitting down to drum out another couple hours of freelancing and this is where I'm at.

The Dangers of Smoking In Bed was a little more weird than straight horror, but each story is going to stay with me in a *different* way. Off-putting to say the least, terribly beautiful at best. Great collection.

Let's see those fall fits y'all

A Cosmology of Monsters is an amazing literary horror that bends genre and presents cosmic horror in a new way.

Written as both a love letter to the Weird and a heartfelt message to finding love and belonging after horrible events, it is truly something special. Brillant debut.

And my spooky reading continues. Been meaning to get to this one for a while and it did not disappoint!

Not bad for someone who has never gone out West yet.

First spooky book of the season and this is an unmissable one if you enjoy Gothic lit and/or understated body horror.
