Thank you, Noah Lloyd, for our fun chat: "Three Things That Don't Go Together." It was great fun to pull apart story structure, character, writing processes, horror, and why French bulldogs give the best life lessons. noah-lloyd.com/2025/10/07/t...

Many thanks to Jamal Hodge for these kind words for SILK & SINEW, edited by @garnetonwinter.bsky.social. Available NOW, this acclaimed anthology features @nadiabulkin.bsky.social, @aijiang.bsky.social, @leemurraywriter.bsky.social and more--plus a foreword by Monika Kim.

“Silk & Sinew is a transcendent collection of horror and identity that engages all the primal emotions rooted in our shared humanity. Many times you will be brought to the verge of tears, many times you will learn the cost of survival, many times you will be made to experience the deepest scars, folklore, and beauty of the Asian diaspora. I learned and felt so much.”

—-Jamal Hodge, Bram Stoker Award Nominee

K.P. Kulski is the author of Fairest Flesh and House of Pungsu, and the self-described career vampire of patriarchal tears. Kristy is also the editor of Silk & Sinew, an anthology featuring folk horror stories from the Asian diaspora.

It was such an honor to get this blurb. If you haven't read The Dark Between the Twilight, you need to. It is a breathtaking aching work. A million thank yous, Jamal, my heart is full.

Chris's story chilled me to the bone. After the first time reading it I couldn't get it out of my mind.

Christopher O'Halloran—author @cohalloran.bsky.social · May 16

Still making my way through Silk and Sinew, but had to take a break to shoutout @chrishannhorror.bsky.social and his emotionally touching story "Under Blades We Lie Still". That's the kind of character-driven horror I LOOOOVE. Can't wait to read more from him!
