A quick plea for help: if you've read and enjoyed Unquiet Guests, please leave a review on Amazon! We're currently sitting on a big fat ZERO reviews, despite strong sales. Let your opinion be heard!

Me, doing the ghost thing
Me and @andreamorstabilini.bsky.social went to an occult exhibition and took some ghost photographs.

Thank you @waterstones.bsky.social for hosting me, @manylittlewords.bsky.social and Leigh Radford to talk about body horror—it was such a special night, and what a way to cap off this little tour for BLOOD 🌕🩸

If ever you'll decide to design a cocktail for this, smoke might play a big part...! 😉💙🌀
Shout out to @dancarpenter.bsky.social who, when I told him the next thing I'd written was 140k words long, was like: yeah, sure, why not.
This is a bit mad, and I'm terribly fond of all the weirdos that live inside the mist, where you can never be sure which side is up and which is down. 🌀🌫️🌀

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about A BLOOD AS BRIGHT AS THE MOON by Andrea Morstabilini. A dreamlike vampire novel with a resonant emotional maturity, the queer fantasia was a fresh & exciting entry to one of my fave subgenres. Our drink is the perfectly pink Moonkin!

A Blood as Bright as the Moon by @andreamorstabilini.bsky.social blends gothic mystery with Romantic philosophy - a haunting exploration of science, nature, and the self.
“Disturbing in a read-between-the-lines sort of way.”

Writing is a solitary activity, it's often said, but it's also an ecosystem—I really believe this. So thank you to all writers who were kind enough to find time to read and say something nice about BLOOD, and of course, thank you to who's reading! I hope you'll enjoy some on BLOOD's strange vistas!
A Blood as Bright as the Moon is one month old!
To mark the occasion the wizards at @titanbooks.bsky.social have made a beautiful booktrailer, at the end of which you can see some endorsements, from Mariana Enriquez, @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social and @ericlarocca.bsky.social ❤️🌕🩸

Congratulations Pedro!! 🎉
A slowly bowed branch by a roofline is framed by the green leaves of a magnolia tree, which was a tree I once thought only grew in the south but that's silly. On this branch sits a bird -- a red-eyed vireo, which is a kind of greige bird, still pretty, with a dramatic eyeliner mask across its (not apparent here) red eyes. Its beak is small but mighty, ready to peck out a fascist's eyes. It has a yellow ass. Just a yellow ass, right there for all the gods and all the children to see, under its tail. The yellow ass is facing you. Can an ass face you? I dunno. Either way, the bird is looking over its shoulders -- do birds have shoulders? shit -- with a cheeky little "oops I did it again" vibe. And I have no idea what the bird did except steal and eat berries from the magnolia tree. Perhaps that's a bird crime, but I don't care, eat the berries, bird, that's why they're there. Wait, where is my wallet? (photo by me, Chuck Wendig)
Things are powerfully bad right now, bleak business in and around every corner, so I feel like I need to counterbalance just a little, just a touch, with a daily nature pic for a while. So today's pic is a cheeky little red-eyed vireo in a magnolia tree. Photo by me.
A Blood as Bright as the Moon, by @andreamorstabilini.bsky.social (pub by @titanbooks.bsky.social), is a different take on the vampire myth, a queer gothic horror novel that experiments with genres and writing styles to deliver a powerful experience.
