Thanks Gabino! MASS HYSTERIA has been enjoying a pretty steady readership since returning to Kindle Unlimited. I'd love to see that keep going and maybe get some fresh reviews! Find out why horror readers say this one's all bite, no bark. mybook.to/MassHysteria

Currently reading: an advance copy of THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT. "We can see INTERVIEW [WITH A VAMPIRE] next week." Gotta say, I am absolutely in love with the cosmic coincidence that in reality, INTERVIEW makes its 4K debut one week after this book's official street date.

Just got NetGalley approval for my first John Gwynne book. I hear this guy's pretty OK! I'm excited to read it, but unsure if it's going to be my next read, or one of the forthcoming Hailey Piper books, or a supposedly sexy rom-com with zombies (but not, like, *with* zombies, you know?) Decisions! 🤔

Well, I guess author Jack Stewart did not like my review of his upcoming Tom Clancy book, PRESSURE DEPTH. Oh deal, however will I go on? www.michaelpatrickhicks.com/blog/tom-cla...

I’m gonna have to catch up on some Ghost Rider comics before 2028. Good thing there’s a @benjaminpercy.bsky.social omnibus coming out in October!

My god, this is utterly dystopian. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/b...

This can go right ahead and fuck ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way off.

This is a banger of a line, though.

I memed a thing.

Just getting started on my ARC of @cgolden.bsky.social’s CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE.

Birthday and Father’s Day gift cards from my MIL means movies have been bought. Hurray!

I’m pretty happy with my last four! Had me some good viewings.

Thanks, Gabino! After the recent Draft2Digital kerfluffle, I find myself having to return to Kindle Unlimited. Horror fans can find all my books available to read there once again! Go check 'em out at author.to/MichaelPatri.... 🍻

Name your fav film that flopped.

Spent a productive morning in the kitchen making my wife a Mother’s Day breakfast. Eggs and potato bowl, and a cinnamon apple Dutch baby. Came out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

May the Fourth be with you! Engage!

A reddit poster shared this synopsis from DC's Infinite Universe which... actually gives you some information on the book? Amazing! Compare and contrast. Can you tell which one is seemingly written by a human being and which is allegedly written by AI? 🤔

Since I don't make enough money annually to pay the Draft2Digital sales fine, the great delisting of all my titles on non-Amazon storefronts has begun! Looks like I'll be going back to Kindle Unlimited once all the various shops have updated accordingly. So long, @draft2digital.bsky.social!

Very happy to bring home copies of Monika Kim’s THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART and @buehlmeister.bsky.social’s BETWEEN TWO FIRES this #IndieBookStoreDay. Plus, sprayed edges FTW!!!

One of the things I most enjoy about Absolute Batman is the simple fact that I never really know what to expect from issue to issue, except that it's going to take what we know from the traditional Bat-line, punch it in the face, and make it stand on its head in admirably horrific ways.

I guess the question now is, do I delete my account immediately or hold out and hope @draft2digital.bsky.social reverses this asinine decision to charge authors like me, who makes <$100/year through non-Amazon sales channels and libraries, before they start taking more money away from me.

I don’t even make $12/year on the non-Amazon sales channels.

Been catching up on the last couple episodes of season two of Daredevil: Born Again. This show is, by far, the best stuff Marvel has put out in a while, IMO. Incredibly topical, relevant, and really captures the Marvel ethos of “the world outside your window” from the comics of yesteryear.

All right, gang, I’m going in!

"Harry Hole, Detective"

New arrival: THE LAST FREAKSHOW by @thelastfreakshow.bsky.social. Hoping I can dive into this one soon! And many thanks to E for the signed copy and the kind words about my short story, REVOLVER. ✌️

Oh hell yeah!!! Thank you, @sweetshop.app!

On the bright side, I also discovered I've been added to another dipshit's anti-AI list! So, YAY! for that! FUCK AI!
