This interview was so fun! So happy to learn about PLM's special interest in fairy tales, and v excited the idea of either @ivygrimes.bsky.social or @carsonwinter.bsky.social writing a Pied Piper X J R0gan retelling. I NEED TO READ THIS
(Pied Piper is one of my faves too πŸ‘€)

Just finished reading Sisters of the Crimson Vine by @authorplm.bsky.social, a deliciously creepy & evocative folk horror novella that really felt like midsummer in the middle of winter, and also made me really miss wine.

Plus sexy nuns, if that's your jam.

Reminder that if you can't afford an artist, you can create the cover yourself. @carsonwinter.bsky.social painted his own cover.
Not only was it free, but it's also completely unique and representative of him as an artist and author.
No AI, no stealing, no excuses, no slop.
It's that easy.
