"They were really getting it going at the Duncans’. Going at it presumably as hard as good people felt they had the leeway to go in the presence of children." Stephen Crown Weber mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
cover of Teenage Girls Can Be Demons by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, on a twinkling pink background, bracketed by the words Bram Stoker Award Finalist and Splatterpunk Award Finalist
Realized my @titanbooks.bsky.social demons are finalists for both the Bram Stoker Awards and the Splatterpunk Awards. I'm proud of this book, both as a fiction collection and because of the personal connection readers have shared about, whether in their demon days or remembering them.
Thank you 🖤😈

Screenshot of Goodreads page for Rider in the Widow Lands: A Sword & Sorcery Short Story. Description reads: A Short Tale of Sword & Sorcery A forgotten age when god-lore and magic drove warriors on quests of blood and gold. The Rider, the progeny of ghoul and man, escorts a small, crumbling ossuary atop his Friesian. His destination is a hidden dale in the Widow Lands, where, temple monks claim, widows of the Great God Scar breathe life into bones long dead. How else does one speak privately with a priest who died a thousand years ago? For he is the man in the charnel box, and the secret he possesses isn’t to be shared with necromancers or moribund gods. A 30 Minute Read
When Children of the North Sea ask how came The Rider by the Scepter and Golden Greaves of Scar, tell this tale. And rejoice. Check it out: mybook.to/widowlands
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

“astrology for men” was too generous
Subs open on March 1st! Hope ya'll are getting some BAD SCIENCE themed sf/h flash ready for us!
I forgot about it. Surely it was nonsense.
I guess Mr Murder Mittens did in fact escape the DRC.

Taking a small break for getting angry about small press malfeasance to say:
The Long Con is right now just £5.99 at the NBP store - so if you want a hefty, 3-books-in-1 sapphic thriller read this weekend... you know what to do!
"If Burns is the poet laureate of Scotland, then McDermid is the laureate of the lascivious. She writes of killers and sexual deviance. Her novels are smart, sinister, and often comic. Like Burns, she is drawn to winter’s mysterious whispers."
Congratulations!
So honored to be among these great writers and fav people @meganabbott.bsky.social @blacktopkid.bsky.social @michaelconnelly.bsky.social @aceatkins.bsky.social
Wow, honored to have Buffalo Hunter Hunter here in TWO categories:
"The measure also establishes that “willfully” disseminating or helping a minor access material deemed “harmful” without their parental consent would be a crime... possibility of imprisonment of up to a year, and a fine between $500 and $2,500."
I. TOLD. YOU.

Great read
So absolutely honored to have this dark little musing published in @brownhoundpress.bsky.social!
AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:
This morning I sent @joeyhedger.bsky.social stickers to put on my books at the @malarkeybooks.bsky.social AWP table since I won’t be there this year. Be sure to go say hi and buy a bunch of great books. There will probably be other cool Malarkey merch too. (P.S. I’ll be back next year!)
