The Night Ship is up on Netgalley for those of you so inclined! Reviewers, friends, enemies, anyone, if that's not accessible for you drop me a line, I *am* keeping a list of who has asked and will be dropping emails shortly. ♥️

As the world goes dark, smuggler Rosi and her crew sail their truck across a murky sea of nothingness.
But something hungry lurks below...

Two weeks on the other side of the planet?
All packed

A backpack and a little crotch pack. They're not even that stuffed

Swifties and horror fans haven't been this excited together since sharing a hotel at Pittsburgh StokerCon 2023

HUGE NEWS DAY!

We have a new @egallagher.bsky.social SPLIT SCREAM cover to share!

(In lesser news, there's a new T-Swift album! And that is literally all the news.)

Anyway! SPLIT SCREAM: CURSED PLACES! Featuring novelettes from @sonorataylor.bsky.social & @matthewtpritt.bsky.social

April 2026🖤☠️

Cover art: the two illustrations feature a foreboding, wildly framed mirror and a human silhouette in the reflection; and two hands clutching a mysterious organic, vaguely heart-like mass; plus a blurb from M.Shaw.

My publisher has demanded more blurbs! It could be you!

David Corse @itsmedavidcorse.bsky.social · 8d

Anyone interested in blurbing my my new novella?

The Stand x Bones and All

I have an extremely limited number of arcs, unfortunately.

It really is the most honest and earnest intersection of things I love. Abandoned places, botanicals, cosmic unknowables, detective work, apocalypses, nightmares, and references to Twin Peaks. 😅
