Dear Republicans,

Pick a lane. At least be consistent in your transphobia.

My debut poetry collection, DEMO REELS AND ARTHOUSE MADNESS, releases today.

On this book "birthday," I am filled with gratitude for all those who had a hand in bringing this collection to fruition—but no one more so than the entire team at @rdspress.bsky.social.

This year marks my 20th year since my first paid professional publication. This is my third Bram Stoker Awards nomination. That this comes for (literally) the most personal thing I've ever written...?

Well, there are no words. Only major gratitude. 💙

Here's what NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author @sgj.bsky.social—winner of four Bram Stoker Awards, three Shirley Jackson Awards (among many others), and my slasher brother-in-arms—had to say about DEMO REELS AND ARTHOUSE MADNESS, releasing 2-25-25 from @rdspress.bsky.social...

You matter. You are beautiful. You are worthy.

If there was ever a better context in which to use the word "gobsmacked," it's in getting a blurb like this from the remarkable @joshmalerman.bsky.social.

#mindblown 🤯

DEMO REELS AND ARTHOUSE MADNESS releases next month from @rdspress.bsky.social.

“…The delightful Afterword has a list of films, mostly horror, that inspired the dark beauty in his poetry.”

“Captivating madness runs like a film through Liaguno’s mesmerizing collection. Every poem, another shadowy scene in the unwinding movie of this book. Each piece carried me from the first line, breathlessly to the final stanza…”
