If you want honest writing advice then the This Is Horror TikTok is the place to be.

In today's video, Chuck Palahniuk talks about why when you write about violence, you should not sanitise it. Do not contribute to the cultural desensitisation of violence.

Oh my gosh, this book is SO inappropriate 🤣
I'm interviewing Michael David Wilson, of the legendary podcast & publisher THIS IS HORROR, later this week about his book DADDY'S BOY, and I'm learning all kinds of colorful new British terms & aphorisms to deploy on this side of the pond 😜

Looks like @igreggreene.bsky.social is enjoying DADDY'S BOY so far. What wonderful feedback to get mid-read. Here's hoping he enjoys this bizarre journey until the end.

If this piques your interest, do consider buying DADDY'S BOY by Michael David Wilson.

Some cool tips here from @thisishorror.bsky.social. I've already read THE GULP 3: THE RISE by @alanbaxter.bsky.social & its terrific. Review dropping on @horrordna.bsky.social soon. If you like horror about weird & dangerous little towns, this Australian trilogy ranks amongst the very VERY best.

We've received a number of comments like this regarding our episode with @claymcleod.bsky.social and they're SO GOOD TO HEAR! When @bobpastorella.com and I spoke with Clay it was just three people honestly discussing our writing journeys and trying to support one another. Thank you for listening.

Loved this episode. It makes me want a show where writers just talk and try to make each other feel better. Love the point about celebrating wherever you are in the process. And for the record, @claymcleod.bsky.social is an astonishing performer and an astonishing writer (Read KILL YOUR DARLINGS!)

So wonderful to see Daddy's Boy made Jason White's (@jasonwhite.bsky.social) top 10 reads of 2025. I had such a blast writing Daddy's Boy—amongst the humour and chaos there are a lot of important issues explored pertaining to masculinity, family, and relationships.

Finally listening to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew on vinyl and when I tell you the musical tones are exquisite, that word barely even scratches the surface. @thisishorror.bsky.social ... you would definitely appreciate the way this sounds if you haven't heard it this way before.

What a great start to the day. I do love waking up to five-star reviews of my dark comedy, DADDY'S BOY.

Thank you so much, Jillian.

Kudos for noticing the references to Watain, Cannibal Corpse, and Ozzy Osbourne!
