Ngl doing Netgalley every month is not cheap and not easy for an indie press to do but it’s so rewarding to see Meat Bees number 1 next to one of the best horror writers out there.

Aw, man. Keaton was legit one of the greats. The people I know who worked with her all have nothing but incredibly glowing things to say about her. Worked right up to the end. A real loss.

No big deal just getting to publish one of my favorite horror authors of the past ten years. I love this novel so much, so proud that I get to work with @pfracassi.bsky.social and give Sarafina a home. Cover by @joelamatguell.bsky.social

@pfracassi.bsky.social says that SARAFINA "might just be the scariest thing" he's published to date.

This coming from the guy who wrote the terrifying BOYS IN THE VALLEY!

You better believe I'll be ordering a copy from @clashbooks.bsky.social!

Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming novel, SARAFINA, coming from CLASH Books in April 2026.

This is a paperback original with a cover by Joel Amat Guell and an introduction by Nick Cutter.

SARAFINA is a Civil War-era horror novel, and might just be the scariest thing I’ve published to date.

Dropping something big around noon but wanted to share something rad first, Meat Bees hit number 1 on in horror on Netgalley. Really happy to see a book I love that’s a debut getting some real hype and excitement.

They settled on 2,500 words b/c we read @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social's story "Ghost" and they decided that was a length they liked--"kinda long, but without feeling long," so someone copy/pasted the text into Word to get an exact count, then rounded up. Editing!

Our wasp book from Hell is getting some eyes on it at Netgalley. Feels good to see horror fans responding to debut books like Meat Bees and Of Beasts. We want to always be a home for special debuts and responses like this are always encouraging! 🐝 👹🫡

*whispers* Goodreads ratings don’t matter as much as writing something that people love and hate.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 6d

A mysterious old man. A sudden and inexplicable act. And from there, a small town becomes the epicenter of violence and bloodshed driven by poisonous bigotry and hate. @ericlarocca.bsky.social weaves themes of loss and trauma against the search for an ever-absent god.
