Shelley Lavigne

Friends, I got to see a proof of the forthcoming Tales of Sley House 2025, edited by Lillian Ehrhart, and I CAN'T WAIT for you all to see it!

If you're a fan of Creepshow, you're gonna love the inspiration - and the interior - of this anthology.

Also, I get to share this TOC with...

Thanks for this! And thanks for hosting us for the event as well!

At the Little Ghosts Bookstore, a sign reads DEARLY BELOVED… Below are the four shelves of new in stock, full of new horror books. Underneath are the two book club picks.

It’s Spooky Season and our New in Stock is full to the brim!
Get your reading list ready for fall with amazing horror books from @ericlarocca.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @bitterkarella.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & more!

During this sapphic September, how about adding a bit of toxic yuri to your diet? Enamoured: A Triptych is a historic, erotic, horror novella about love and makeup and capitalism.
Come for the steamy scenes and… well… you know 😉

We are in the midst of the great de-shrimpening! My tasty tasty friends, when will we be able to eat you once more!?

I’m so tired of apps being like pwetty pwease can you like widdle old me access your data and sell it to my widdle buddies pwomise to be good to it🥺 👉👈

Why had no one told me about how amazing In Fabric is? When a movie has a credit for mannequin pubic hair you KNOW you're in for a wild ride. Extremely bizarre department stores, hypnotic laundry repair men, a very killer dress, what more could you possibly need?

This message is brought to you by my WIP (not to be confused with my whip)

Writing smut is so much more fun than writing anything else. Well except for gory gooshy gross smut. That’s probably peak.

Have fun!

This freaking made my day!! I’m so glad to hear that a book club read our book!

Gimmie a list of your favorite novellas published in the last decade- bonus points if it's not from a major publisher

(just finished reading The Flesh of the Sea for my local horror book club and LOVED IT. Now I have a taste for more novellas!)

Three-lobed gave a home to one of my favourite stories of all time (www.3lobedmag.com/issue43/3lbe...) and I will always be grateful for them. They’ve also published some truly incredible work, too many to name in a post. Please support them if you can!

A good time to check out one of my short fiction collections!

#horrorwriterschat

Honestly too many to name, so I'll just name the incredible @lormaggot.ca : writer, editor, sharer of good and horrific things. Go pick up a copy of "The Flesh of the Sea" (co-written with @shelleylavigne.bsky.social ) and keep your eyes out for the upcoming "Cosmic Dyke Patrol"

My year long writing dry spell is OVER and wow I’d forgotten how good it feels to really sink into a character filled with idiosyncrasies and strange worlds. I feel ALIVE!

Thank you!! I really love this one and CMH is a great home for it!

EXTREMELY talented!!!!

This cover is stunning!!!

Here and in the flesh!

Get issue #62: https://bit.ly/4l6fOxT

I have a story in this!! It’s available for free through the lite version if you want to check it and the other amazing stories out!
It’s got some body horror, non linear story telling and hire than usual tongue per capita ratio 👅

DEBORAH!!

Yall
queer, heart-felt, body horror, eldritch entities, and more
This book makes me so fucking happy
You need it
Trust me

This is so kind! Thank you!!!!

they’re out there, keep searching!

May it continue to bring joy, delight and a bit of revulsion to those who find it on their shores. I’m proud of this book about found family, queer love and resistance, and the sublime beauty of the natural world. I hope it brings comfort to those still trying to find their crew

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO THE MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE FLESH OF THE SEA🥳🐠🐡
(A little bit late but what is time keeping?)
Though the waters were rocky and the skies were often covered, it was a grand adventure and I couldn’t have been happier to do it alongside my co-captain @lormaggot.ca
