Hey this is my pin post. I'm here for positivity. I have been through a lot this past yr and honestly I'm done with the negativity. Don't take my talk of peace or that I am going positive for weakness. Nothing about me is weak. If your into tech books movies sports I'm the guy to follow.

That sucks. If the other half could get health care it would really help. She works with special needs kids/adults.

I can imagine being a book seller has to be crazy to a point. Some of the books are beautiful and cool but damn expensive.

Being creative is always interesting when it comes to the cash.

They do not break apart so easily. Because back in the day to get a car to look really fucked up you had to actually hit at a decent speed and now I can get the same effect going 5 mph.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

During the game last night I cracked open this book and read the story. Man what a wild wild ride. Barker has a sense of wonder in the lovely but it's gorey and violence and generally perverse. New version of Book of Blood. Barker pushes things forward to such a degree. Blast reading. #booksky

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.

Hmmm..civil war era? Okay...interesting.

Aaron Furq @geekydad.bsky.social · 1d

Oh and just so you know this thing is free. It was a book I found at a free little library. You take a book and you leave a book.

Aaron Furq @geekydad.bsky.social · 1d

Any Robert Ludlum fans? Anyone ever tried? I realize this thing was written in the 70s but ehh it's short maybe some fun. #booksky #thrillersky

Hey @pfracassi.bsky.social I'm sorry to hear about your parents. I have known people who have had loved ones get dementia. One thing I wish we could get rid of. I really enjoyed the book and just wanted to pass that along.

DAYTIDE is up for preorder now and I sort of buried the lede on this limited edition, illustrated, horror-fantasy.

There’s an introduction by @pfracassi.bsky.social that blew the bombas right off of my feet. I’m still reeling.
