No Fair Maidens From Earth to Mars arrived today. The wonderful Robert P. Ottone was so kind to blurb and I'm forever grateful. Purchase here if you like your horror with sci-fi. a.co/d/cInsp0f

As far as composers go, John Williams is the goat, but did you ever hear what Bear McCreary did with Along the watchtower?

In my continuing series of ‘You’re short story is likely good, it just hasn’t found the right editor yet’, happy to say my Soylent Green sci-fi horror story (rejected many times) was in the 1.3% of 1800 stories that found a home at Diabolical Plots.

Three master-of-craft scenes I still think about: 1. American Psycho, Patrick Bateman suddenly switches to third person in his killing craze. 2, Red Station and the boot to the head. Iykyk. 3. Annihilation and when the biologist abruptly addresses the reader. Any I should add?

It’s silly, but the shocked looks from Japanese people in the Japanese market when I say something small in passing (sumimasen, daijobu) reminds me that I was once young and cool and lived around the world and was generally a badass.

I know the actual movie is gonna be meh, but as a ND writer who thrives on lofi night beats, I’m fucking psyched for the Tron Aries soundtrack

I’m just a girl trapped at a blue screen of death and a linux kernel fail.

Realistically, how 'fucks' is too many 'fucks' in a novel?

If anyone thinks academic doesn't pay, let me tell you, Proquest sent me $42 for my dissertation royalties OVER NINE YEARS.

You know what this story needs? Auto cannibalism.

I'm just a girl, writing her sex bot possession story and listening to the rain at 4:30am.

Alma Katsu’s newsletter came out today where she says some fellow authors think of her blurbs as ‘backups’ and I just can’t even. Imagine thinking of Alma Katsu’s praise for your book as second tier. Wtf.
