Okay, bear with me on this one. It's the cover for A WOMAN UNBECOMING, edited by Rachel A. Brune and Carol Gyzander. It's very neony in color. If you're old enough, if you remember those shirts that changed color when you touched it, that's the vibe here. There's a woman looking straight ahead with a bright yellowish face. Her hands are wrapped around a pillow. It's like she might be watching TV or something. Above her, many blue hands are reaching out of a pink/red/orange background. It's quite colorful.

Cover for Nick Roberts' IT HAUNTS THE MIND AND OTHER STORIES. It's bathed in red/burgandy and a young woman stares at you. She appears to be not wearing a shirt (calm down, it's about from the shoulders up) and there's a wicked upsided down cross carved into her face, starting at the top of her forehead down to the tip of her nose, with the horizontal part going across the eyes.

Cover for Nick Medina's INDIAN BURIAL GROUND. It's orangish/red and what is that? Cream? Let's go with cream colored. The orange takes up most of the background, with a lizard in cream color, deocrated with all kinds of designs like circles and triangles.

Cover for Rachel Harrison's BLACK SHEEP. It's a pinkish cover, with a creepy ass black sheep with red eyes and goddamn devil horns. Goddamn evil sheep.

Wretch: or, The Unbecoming of Porcelain Khaw From rising horror star and award-winning author of Thi…

My publisher is giving away 20 finished hardcover copies of my upcoming novel, WRETCH! 🪲🕯️🖤 Please help spread the word if you can! This book is queer and sad and a little gross. I hope you love it!

It’s hard to talk about author mental health, but I’m watching it become an issue in this social media age, and it’s shitty and sad, and getting kind of scary behind the scenes. Authors do have to learn how to accept criticism, but there’s criticism and then there’s cruelty. It’s a bummer!

The only way I can describe it is it felt excessively cruel, and seemed to me to take joy in ripping the book / the author apart. It’s totally valid to not like / harshly critique a book, it’s not about protecting the author’s feelings but respecting their humanity, that’s the line I think

It’s hard. No one should ever feel pressured to censor themselves but also, let’s please not lose sight of common decency. There’s enough hurt in the world. There can be (and absolutely should be) honesty without excessive cruelty in these spaces.

None of us are handles. We’re human beings. I just hope we can think about the things we say and be more considerate. If you want to talk shit, go scorched earth, I get it, but maybe save it for the group chat? Idk man.

Reviewing is a skill! However…There’s a difference between critique and using critique as an excuse for excessive cruelty. And I get it. We can say whatever the f*ck we want, that’s our right. but words have consequences. The things we say online have real world consequences.

Authors understand when we put our work out there that it’s subject to criticism, and that’s just part of it. I think the majority of us truly respect criticism, critical thought and analysis, personal opinion, everyone gets to engage with and respond to art in their own way and that’s beautiful!

Yesterday I was scrolling and randomly came across a review for a book I really want to read, by an author I don’t know but seems cool, and so I read the review and it broke my f*cking heart and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

Love this! 🖤

Another book cover! This time it's "Play Nice" also by Rachel Harrison 😈
