I'm so grateful for all the support I've gotten for this fucked up story, and I can't wait for you to see it fully emerge Feb 2027 π

HEY YOU!! You π«΅ should snatched up NYGEL and read my story about a nasty librarian and a fucked up library
Bad Hand sighting at my local B&N!

I stopped using a smartphone yesterday. I've quit drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol and doomscrolling is more challenging to give up. The corporations have us so cooked, man.
Trying to understand Gene Wolfeβs THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN is like trying to train a cat to sit on command. Mostly confusing and frustrating, but the times it accidentally happens are intensely satisfying.
The Osbourne family should totally bring back Ozzfest. An annual or biennial festival of modern and classic metal artists paying homage to its godfather. One can dream.
Ozzy Osbourne on stage
Ozzyβs music, with Black Sabbath and without, rearranged my DNA as a kid and continues to influence and inspire me and generations of metalheads, artists, and outlaws.
βI told them I had ridden shooting stars and said Iβd show them how.β That you fucking did, Ozzy. Fly high.
Thereβs no way you could have known. He pulled a complete bait-and-switch campaign. Fooled everyone.
Imagine being so scared someone will laugh at your art that you bury it behind five layers of irony and quipping and running from sincerity, then shouting "cringe!" if others' art shows genuine feeling.
Your one precious life, spent in constant fear of being laughed at until it ends. What a waste.
My wife having the average @ericlarocca.bsky.social reading experience
Here is the text of my keynote from the Bram Stoker Awards ceremony. It was a rant masquerading as a keynote. And in pure Becky fashion it is also a call to action.

Thank you for letting me gush about your work! You fuckinβ rule.
BRING HER BACK is proof that TALK TO ME was not a fluke. The Philippou brothers have the heat, man.
I amβ¦skeptical about this Elden Ring movie. I feel like all of the FromSoftware dark fantasy game stories are best told to an active participant. Like, I wanna fight some feral creature in a cave, only to find out in an item description that he used to be a beloved duke or something.
On my way to see Sinners, I picked up The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social while wearing my Nosferatu hoodie. Vampires are so back.
My editor is a real hardass.
Bad Hand firing on all cylinders this morning, damn.
Excellent list. Iβll always get excited to see Stoverβs Revenge of the Sith novelization getting the credit it deserves.
Always good to see you, man! And the book is killer!
Do you read Todd Keisling? I do, a totally normal amount!
Had a great time at @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social for @toddkeisling.com and @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social βs signing today.
By the moonβs eye!
Credits rolling on @compulsiongames.bsky.socialβs SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT. Fun game with so much rich folkloric world building and character work. My wife and I yelled when we saw Ahmed Best in the credits. Really hoping for a sequel π
On this beautiful Independent Bookstore Day, do not buy from Amazon. Instead buy from people who give a damn about books and authors. Some of my favorites are @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social, @huxleyandhiro.bsky.social, @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social & @lahaskabookshop.bsky.social
That is really disappointing. Iβm sorry, man.
I use plant-based mayo, maybe that makes it better? Probably not.

A reminder on #TaxDay: while hardworking Delawareans work to file their taxes by tonight's deadline, the Trump administration is working overtime to give billionaires and big corporations tax breaks.
Man, THE DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH feels like if Charlie Kelly was sort of literate.
Yup, this was the right choice. Taking a flawed, poorly constructed, problematic story and making it something worthwhile and scary? Hell yeah. LaValle rules.
