Free to everyone, as always. Talking about the many questions related to media portrayals of violence against women, especially murder, the economics of it and how those questions are one of the inspirations for the slasher novel I'm currently writing. #HorrorWriters

When you start thinking that people who make dark art must surely be dark people, remember that Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is famous for playing claw machines on tour and donating the stuffed animals he wins to local toy drives and children's hospitals.

Double whammy of expectations. 1. Men should/are useless/shouldn't care about domestic spaces 2. Creative work only happens spontaneously so that means a messy space bc your brain is full of ideas w no time to clean Both are wrong.

Friends, my first-ever short story collection comes out TOMORROW. Described as both angry and utopian, and as dark but also satisfying ... this collection is in some ways has been in the making for my entire life. Here's hoping you enjoy the ride.

One thing I've always loved is when a book is so propulsive & compelling that you simply can't stop reading it. Two of the BEST books recently that did just that were FOE & William. Both are tension-filled with twists & turns & both have remained front-of-mind since I read them.

Effortlessly expands past the pages. Something further than 'meta' or whatever and we're very lucky to have him.

ten year old me filling up cue cards for "types of medieval weapons" and "kinds of fruit" because this is what Redwall taught me I needed to know before writing a novel.

Best of the 3 by a long shot, and Jigsaw gets it way worse than the series even tried, despite the other good parts of the Netflix attempt.

Didn't mean to imply those big names were extreme, and I wouldn't even call WF that, tho having a psychotic MC lends a certain extreme mythology to it. His SF stuff is amazingly thoughtful yet action packed, full of big ideas and great characters. Try a Culture series novel like Excession for starts

Not a fan of extreme horror - Ketchum's Girl Next Door is a forever DNF - but I like stuff that toes up to it, Evil Dead for ex. I never would've stuck w Banks if edgy gore was all he could do - I started on his SF and found his 'reg' novels varied and unique.

Came across The Wasp Factory in my teens after having read a lot of big name horror and pulp - there was something different here: vicious, isolated, methodical. Diary of a madman and so messed that I would be a Banks fan forever. (Too bad it's Gaimen's byline, tho this novel deserves its praise)

Agreed. The Death one gets the nod, that one gets you a raised eyebrow and a "So. Tell me..." And the one below gets you thrown outta the hall:

Oh hard agree. The downside is to not listen to local radio music stations that have these gawdawful CanCon catalogues.

Part if the Canadian Content efforts. All Cnd radio + TV is supposed to have a % of Cnd artists, so why should streaming be any different. Keeps us from being overwhelmed by the US, but downside is the enforcement of Nickleback and Burton Cummings.

Thrilled to be a part of CHM’s Ligotti tribute issue. My story “The Server Room” had been years in development & I couldn’t quite crack it until this call went out. Enjoyed playing with some Ligottian toys while putting what I hope is a decidedly “PBarb” spin on things.

I will admit that I am new to the realm of dystopian Sci-Fi. As I’m stumbling down this road I’m learning some of the best authors in this genre are black and many are female. Holy shitsnacks, yall.

I'm still digesting it (yummy!!) but agreed, the veneer gets perilously thin the further the story goes. Twists the 'horror movie' idea well beyond what a Scream sequel could only hint at. Dread like the best of Barker. Unreal book overall.

Celebrating @paultremblay.bsky.social Horror Movie as scary, dreadful, sad is correct - but for me, also sends an arrow from the story thru the reader to the world, writing that's clear and truthful, that Auster, Vonnegut, Atwood often archive. Horror is a part of the world bc it is a part of us.

A whole SM site dedicated to 'Oh so you hate waffles' sounds positively draining. Good material for a chapter tho - get some words outta that negativity.
