The snow is falling. So are the bodies.

❄️ Snowman is out now. ❄️

A slasher in the snow. A story of madness and blood beneath the ice.

My debut horror novel is now available on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, B&N + more: books2read.com/u/3G6vkO

An illustration of a smiling snowman wearing a red knit cap and holding a blood-stained axe. The background is a dark, snowy night with silhouetted trees and a house. The only color in the image is the blood on the ax and the knit cap. Text below the image reads: "THE SNOW IS FALLING. SO ARE THE BODIES. SNOWMAN IS OUT NOW BY WALSH WETTENGLE. Available on amazon kindle."

Made something fun for my upcoming art walk signing table. My first time dinking around with Canva.

The image is a flyer for a Christmas horror story titled "SNOWMAN". The flyer has a dark background with white snow falling. The title "SNOWMAN" is at the top in large, stylized font. Below, the tagline reads "A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY". In the center of the flyer, the phrase "WHAT'S IN IT?" is written in a large, curved font. Various phrases describing the book's content surround this central text. These phrases include: • Wiccan Rep • B- Movie Vibes • Found Fam • Bi Rep (next to a small image of the bisexual pride flag) • Cosmic Cult Rep - Uhhhhh.... (above an image of a dhole and 2 "investigator" mini-figures) • Mean Little Book • ACABcore • 1991 Slasher • Prerequisite Cringe • Witches & Familiars • Old School Gore • Comfort Horror • Relentless Pace Along the bottom edge of the image are more descriptive phrases: • "NOSTALGIC, BUT FERAL" (horizontally) • "HEARTFELT, BUT BODY COUNT" (vertically on left side) • "CAMPY, BUT ANGRY" (vertically on right side)

When the temperature drops, book sales rise, coincidence? I think not.

I like Thanksgiving ok but wish it wasn’t illegal on this day to ever stop eating. C’mon, I’ve had too much already and can’t keep doing this until midnight. Don’t arrest me.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.
Alice Wong
Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

Huge love to Third Place Books for adding Snowman to their shelves at both Lake Forest Park and Seward Park shops. I have stars for eyes right now that the book is now a few feet away from where I got a pic with @chucktingle.bsky.social on his Lucky Day tour!

Screenshot of the book Snowman, by Walsh Wettengle, on thirdplacebooks.com. "Our Price" listed at $21.99, 24% off of the list price. Options to add to cart or wish list. Includes notation that 2 copies are on the shelf at the Lake Forest Park location as of 11/10/25 in the Horrror A-Z section.

Spotted today at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (Seattle suburb), the best review of @scumbelievable.bsky.social's Manhunt everrrrrr...
A close-up photograph of several books on a shelf. In front of the books, a handwritten note is attached, which reads: "Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin" Below the title is a paragraph: "If the pages of this gruesome horror dystopia could make sounds, they would include the following: SNIP SNIP, AHHH!, FFFFFT, PEW PEW!, SHHHLUNK, PLOP!, sniffsniff, PBBBBT, CRRRREEEAK, AHHHHHHH!, swooooosh, mmmm, CHOMP, and SPLAT!" At the bottom left of the note is a logo for "THIRD PLACE BOOKS". On the bottom right, a red label with "Sarah C" and "STAFF PICK" is visible.

Just caught up on the new "Welcome to Derry" show, based on @stephenking.bsky.social's "It" and purportedly a prequel series to the part 1 and 2 movie adaptions.

😳 Huh. Well... I no longer feel self-conscious about the first few chapters of "Snowman" now.

This is informative AF. I've seen a lot of review-bombing for genre works written by trans authors that made me wonder if we even read the same book. This gets to the crux of it all and I can't wait to get to Wrath Goddess Sings in my way-too-long TBR list.
