What I need is a pop-up signing. Me, the books I have in stock, and a place to put a table that draws in readers.

I’m calling it. For now, TJTranchell.net is dead. But I’m a horror writer, which means nothing stays dead.
I still have a lot of books in stock. I’ll take orders via direct message for now. Paperbacks are $20 including shipping. The hardcover is $35, including shipping.

This is some bullshit because the Teen Vogue political coverage has been among the best recently.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

It’s crunch time.
I need to sell 15-19 books via my website in the next three days to keep the site alive.

I don’t think it’s going to happen. I’m short about $200 to renew my website/webstore for another year. It’s been a good run.

Still a few days to check it out, though.

I love this book and you will, too.
It appears that my Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic book THE ATROCITIES is on sale for Halloween! The tale is $1.99 on Kindle.

A Thom Carnell zombie story has more heart in it than any contemporary horror you might read.
If there’s two things I love, it’s Halloween and zombies. To celebrate, I’ve decided to post a *preview* of my upcoming book, OPEN LATE. So, may I present a little spooky tale of familial obligation that I call… "Puttin' Mama Down."

If you are thinking of seeing TRIUMPH OVER EVIL: BATTLE OF THE EXORCISTS, might I offer a book that is not Catholic propaganda? Try a tale of Mormon exorcists instead. TELL NO MAN available directly from me.

Enjoyed BLACK PHONE 2.
Couple things stood out: Cargill and Derrickson write spiritual/religious characters better than anyone. They are real people and their faith is just a part of their stories. And how much fun must it be to come up with Gwen’s swearing? Glorious.

America's disconnect: very little noise to support Letitia James, NOT EVEN CLOSE.

The Constituents making the loudest noise, to save Freedom of Speech, but in 2026, we lose most of the Benefits and Triple Insurance Premiums

NO NOISE, but silent to Federal Crimes, purging America for the Wealthy.
If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!
