Here it is! My shaky, handheld recording of Taliesin Jaffe announcing @criticalrole.bsky.social The Mighty Nein: Stories Untold anthology from last night. Very cool to be namechecked live on the show alongside @rinchupeco.bsky.social. (Plus a corgi spotting!) Preorder now at criticalrolebooks.com

WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE is my ode to analog horror, ARGs, creepy conspiracy theories trying to explain the unknowable told by a narrator who wants to know why the body that just turned up in the woods is not a body from the woods.
Thank you, and I hope you all enjoy this weird little book!

"Its most unique characteristic is the noises it makes as it moves, which resemble the moans and cries of someone in pain, or the cries of a baby, coupled with the sound of something very heavy pulling itself across the floor.
Cryptid #2 - the Quiet Brother, from WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE, out Nov 4!

"Truly nature’s wonder, though one may even argue it actually goes against it. There is nothing about its physiology that makes sense. This little creature isn’t supposed to exist. It cannot possibly exist. And yet here it is."

I would love to do more giveaways for WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE, but shipping is out due to tariffs thanks to the mason jar-shaped personification of a tantrum in charge of the US. US residents will not be part of the next giveaway, apologies while I figure something out.
TLDR: release the Epstein files.

Unboxing day is here and the copies of WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE are looking good!
(I am still trying to figure out if a giveaway is doable without anyone having to pay extra tariffs by the morons in charge, because books don't seem to have an exemption over here.)

Monsterfucking book (tm) may have to take a backseat, as it has gotten far more complex than how I envisioned it, and will need more time to percolate. A good thing! I can eke out the heat and the angst far better given more space.
My "Swan Lake" WIP, however, is proceeding as planned....

We Are Not Safe Here will be out on Nov 4 2025 and will have TEN audiobook narrators.
Yup. Ten.
There'll be message board posts, blog entries, video narrations. We Are Not Safe Here is a book about a community facing a monster from outside its woods - and within it!

Just learned Silver Under Nightfall earned out in a big way last year, earlier than I even thought! I'm glad people like this ridiculous throuple, and I hope to bring more of the same ridiculousness with the next adult fantasy I have in mind! Sincerely - thank you!

Nothing to see here, just a short list of fanon throuples that SILVER UNDER NIGHTFALL was immensely inspired by! (Rather sad that none of these are official - make them canon, cowards).

Votes are in, and here's the winner! This is likely going to be the next wip I hammer at, and as thanks for voting, here's a quick summary of what it's going to be about! Some things might change during the writing process, but this is the general plot I had in mind that I would like to focus on!
