Bondi and Noemโ€™s absolutely psychotic history with dogs feels like classic sociopathy triad behavior

If you're still on TikTok you should 1) get off ASAP as it's becomes a U.S. surveillance tool of the right wing and 2) here's how to get around the forced agreement

To keep with the structure of the novel, this needs to be shot in one, continuous take ala Russian Ark. Please?

Finding your books last year reignited my writing life. After years of rejections, I took a long break. I read All the Sinners Bleed and Blacktop Wasteland, and haven't quit writing since. These books wrecked me in the hardest way. Thank you.

I hope more filmmakers give the @fangoria.bsky.social Chainsaw Awards as much reverence as Ryan Coogler for his win(s!). It is a bummer when people don't submit acceptance videos. Kudos to those that did. The show was great!

Congrats, brother. I loved that book so much. I've read all of your novels, and this one really hit me.

Why don't the democratic lawmakers simply reflect their electorate? Instead of forcing round pegs into square holes, make the hole round.

I just finished WHALEFALL by @danielkraus.com (finally) after reading his masterpiece ANGEL DOWN. I didn't expect to cry. I didn't expect to call my dad. I didn't expect this cannonball of a story. This one will stick with me.

Scrolling too quickly, and your name and post blurred together into "The right way to carry your dead grandma."

If I knew you were going to repost this, I would have done a better proofread haha. Let's just say I was riding on pure emotion and my grammar couldn't keep up. โ™ฅ๏ธ

What's punk about laziness? What's punk about unoriginality? You know what's punk? Writing before the sun comes up, staying up later than you should to write, writing during your day job and giving fuck all about it. That's punk. The grind. The pain. Punk isn't easy or mindless - its blood.

I wish I could just dream in that world every night. It haunts me often. I recently read The Book of the Most Precious Substance by Sara Gran - so damn good. I was in love with Cuckoo, so I am shaking with anticipation to read Black Flame.

I just bought it today and so excited to read it. Books about haunted media are my favorite niche. (Haven't read yours yet but) Experimental Film is my favorite. What is you favorite book featuring haunted media?

Oh, I love books about haunted media. Just bought Black Flame! Thank you.

At Dark I Become Loathsome devastated me, but I feel pulled back into your world. Its like a bruise I can't stop poking. I wake up and think of the casket. It haunts me. I want to be haunted some more.

Holy hell, Daniel. This book is a monster (in a good way). Like, I expect it to be read in 100 years. Transgressive and formally inventive. I am a slow, but constant, reader, and I read this in a day. Then the next day I missed - so I started again. If felt like the best kind of dream.

I'm so excited for this, Eric. Everything about it - the description, the comps, the trailer - is a vibe that aches. I need Burnt Sparrow!

I am an old hand at taking rejections with stride, but eventually, after years, it starts to feel personal. Complaining about rejections is faux pas, but goddamn they're defeating. I got seven this week, some after months and one after being shortlisted. It feels like throwing darts into a pit.

At the Telluride Film Festival in 2009, I sat on the lawn and ate steak sandwiches and ice cream sundaes with Geoffrey Rush. He was wonderful. We talked about movies and travelling for too much of the panel we should've been watching.

Thank you so much, @nomad-sw18.bsky.social. I have been submitting for a long time and writing for a lot longer, and this is a sorely needed dose of recognition. And from a great publication. I'm told too often that my writing isn't for everyone, but this one is at least for someone.

Ghost Eaters was so damn good, man. You have amazing sense of space in your work, and that novel showcases it. Also, it is scary as all get out. This novel is a director's dream, and Derrickson is going to bask in it. So excited.

"From Clay, God" is a nasty little monster of a story that snuck onto the #shortlist at @fracturedlit.bsky.social Gods & Monsters contest. I have collected over 30 rejections so far in 2025, and this is a wonderful wink of recognition I sorely needed.
