The best part of doing a monthly magazine is getting to do a COVER REVEAL every month! The September issue features Steve Rasnic Tem, Ryan Marie Ketterer, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Christina Pamies, and more! Cover by Jakub Jagoda.

Question: Do people like collecting custom buttons and should I make a batch for StokerCon?

We sold our 10,000th book last night! 🎉 This is all since publishing our first title, FACE THE NIGHT, on March 8, 2022, so it took us just over 2 years (and that first year, we only had two titles). Thank you all so much for your early support. We will continue to work hard and publish some great horror / sci-fi over the next few years. And we can only do that because of you. ❤️

My 7th book is out. Some authors call books their babies. I advise against. Having babies is normal. Writing books is strange. People are evolutionarily predisposed to like your babies immediately. Not so with books. Pinch my book's chubby cheeks, please! bit.ly/TCoF2YWW

I just discovered the art of Suguru Tanaka and I’m in love. Bleak, otherworldly.

Look what came today! It's THE COZY COSMIC compiled by @frances_pai and @markteppo! I was telling one the writers, @johnboykish, that I couldn't figure out how to write a cozy version of a cosmic horror story. I'm excited to read these excellent authors' stories and learn how! – at Independence, OR

If you haven’t listened/watched already you’re going to want to do so before I show up in my gourd costume and @teachergorman mask and act it out for you. There’s flashing lights and so many props. Big nuisance honestly.
On this week's WRITERS NOT WRITING, @teachergorman gabs with @ErikGrove, author of stories in COZY COSMIC and WINDING PATHS, about marathon running, Australian brain worms, and how the most punk rock thing in the world is therapy. bit.ly/WNWHome

I had a great conversation with @teachergorman over the weekend! We talked about Japanese horror movies, View-Master, Egyptian mummification, and eventually writing. Ben owns and operates @NotAPipePub . He is an educator and an all-around wonderful host. Check it out!
Such a great episode, @johnboykish! Thanks for being on the show!
