B&N is having their 25% off preorder sale for members. You can get the paperback of Countess for under $13 USD! It's goth, anticolonial and inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo. Preording tells B&N people want Queer Caribbean Space Operas and we need more!🖤

Book Riot's Best Books of 2024 (so far) is up! I chose Jennifer Thorne's DIAVOLA, from Tor Nightfire.
It's such a delicious horror tale of toxic family relationships taken to the extreme in a haunted Italian villa.
A perfect summer horror read.

I want more @apexmag.bsky.social next year to get more stories like "Shevitsa" by @kojiadae.bsky.social. As an immigrant who needed to learn a new language and struggled with acceptance and mental health in a new country, I felt so much for Anna in this story. apex-magazine.com/short-fictio...

I'm slow these days for personal reasons, but I had to come here and give a shout-out for Apex Kickstarter. I had 3 stories published there (and 1 non-fic piece coming up) and it was always wonderful to work with this team. And always the place to find the best of short fiction.

“The woman quivered, a doe in her soul. All she wanted in the world was to be safe. To no longer see shadows gaining shape just out the corner of her eye.”
Haunting. Soul-churning. A visceral feast. I was whispering “hell yes!” to it all. @kcmeadbrewer.bsky.social is one of our very best.

I think part of our work as horror writers in 2024 is to help people unlock the parts of themselves that can face terror and adversity without losing their humanity & goodness. We are entering an era of fear and horror like our species has never faced. We need heart.

I love this and I feel this really hard as a writer of, specifically, cosmic horror. What do you DO when you're faced with a foe you can't defeat or understand? You still have choices left in your humanity -- not many, but a few -- and the horror is about exploring what those choices are.

I just finished @lmanusos.bsky.social's forthcoming novella From These Dark Abodes (from @psychopomp.bsky.social). It's creepy and mysterious (the kind of superb mystery I just can't put down!). And when the mystery unfolds...It did not disappoint!
Can't wait for this one to be out in the world!
