Literature is dying, the institutions are collapsing, it's all a rigged maze, you'll never make money doing this, everyone's attention span is 1.2 seconds so you better be able to spit out what that 80,000 words is about fast, and the apocalypse is nigh. Become a writer!

Finally picked up The Orange Eats Creeps! Been wanting to read it for a good long while now. First few pages are exactly as intense and deranged as I’d hoped 🍊 @gracekrilanovich.bsky.social

For most of the year I've been alternating between adult and YA horror to feed my WIP, so getting totally outside that with All Fours was a refreshing break.
The sex stuff is all cool, but I was especially thankful for her reflections on life, relationships, parenting, aging, bodies... #booksky

@sgj.bsky.social is SO so good, y’all. The way he manages to make his stuff equal parts “heart” and “chainsaw” is just astonishing.

Picked up the new Brian Evenson today. Haven’t read something of his in years (since Collapse of Horses, unless you count the @mcsweeneys.net issue he edited )… super excited to dive in!

Chriiiiist, it's Fake Author profile season... now "George Saunders" over is here saying his "new book" - give-or-take a decade - is "for you."
If the real George Saunders ever said anything remotely like that I would cry and cry and never stop crying.

Something seems… off… about these messages I’m getting from bestselling author Karen McManus.
I would’ve guessed she was a John person.

THE BAD ONES by Melissa Albert! Picked this as a potential comp for my WIP. 100% right for that, yes, but also:
Fell in love. SO good / sweet / sad / real. Such beautiful, perfect descriptions. It air-dropped me straight into my own personal childhood forest and let me tromp around in it a while.
