I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.
But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

Honestly shook (a compliment) at how deeply affected I am still this morning after seeing Frankenstein last night. It was as horrific as it should have been but wow did it wreck me. Cried cried cried. Oscar Isaac was beyond incredible. Would make one cast adjustment and it would be the most perfect
