John Crowley has passed. A genuine great. Liz Hand first recommended his short story "Snow" to me and I followed that with "Little, Big" and his collection "Novelties & Souvenirs". They blew me away.

I'm going to be in Austin for @armadillocon.bsky.social from Thursday Sept 10-13. SF peeps in Austin: Lmk if you'd like to meet or make any breakfast or meal plans

Journalist Chris Hedges on the latest Pen America disaster "PEN America, an organization founded to defend persecuted and censored writers, has once again made a mockery of itself with its call to protect Israeli writers from discrimination. Yes. Israeli writers. +

The formidable Sam Neill has gone to that great big Event Horizon in the sky. May he romp with the raptors and screech at the Possessed forever. May we all live our lives like him and not that pos who flatlined while likely signing another bill of hypocrisy and deceit

Currenly reading @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social’s MUNECA. The writing is sleek and smooth and the characters immediately compelling. Really glad i picked this up tonight instead of continuing Moby Dick, which, albeit nicely written, was getting a bit too much

Ur daily reminder: Fuck this monster colonial-settler state forever. May it fall and from its ashes a new more just one state rise sans Jewish supremacism & terrorism

My new publisher @titanbooks.bsky.social sent me a nice book box as a welcome gift. Especially delighted to see my dear friend and brilliant writer-scholar Helen Marshall’s novel in the mix.

I first met William F Nolan at 2013 WHC in NOLA right before I went to attend Clarion West. Bill was lovely, supersmart, vegan (if I rem correctly) & fit as a horse at 89 I miss him. I wish I'd been able to spend more time with him Ghalib was right: Khak mai kya sooratain hongi jo pinhaan ho gyeen

anthology: from the Greek ”anthologia”, literally flower gathering what a wonderful epigraph As well. I deeply enjoyed the cynical counterweight provided by Walter Raleigh

A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE comes out in spring of 2027 in the UK and in the US and it looks like Titan already has a Google Books page, which is exciting. Next, cover reveal soon...

I’m doing copy edits (the CE Putnam has hired is really, really good!) and by God the book works. Defying my fears and the strange mishmashing of genres, I do believe it works and is ready for Prime Time. Meanwhile here is a comma of a cat

Titan Books' description of the novel, which is accurate. More or less. :) A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE comes out in the US from @putnambooks.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social in spring of 2027 & in the UK/Commonwealth from @titanbooks.bsky.social hopefully around the same time! Exciting!

Good news from across the pond A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE is headed to the UK

We have copyedits! And this makes it look so . . . real. As if it's a real thing.

there is no horror horrific enough My god how do we even go on after this

I keep hearing that Jews and Christians don't feel safe in today's America -- as if any religious minority is at greater risk than Muslims in America today

A self-identified 'genre writer' who clearly comes from a lineage of horror and SF just won the 2026 Pulitzer for Fiction Major congrats to Daniel Kraus who has joined the ranks of Faulkner, Hemingway, Toni Morrison, and so many other legends.
