Not only are the books literal works of art, SST’s customer service is impeccable. Paul Fry saw on social media that I was ordering a 2nd copy of TPC to display both versions of the reversible cover so he sent the book with the “memoir” cover facing out AND an extra cover in case I changed my mind.

Totally random reminder that @sstpublications.bsky.social produces the most beautiful editions of the best books. The SST editions of @paultremblay.bsky.social are the Crown Jewels of The Tremblay Wing. Just look at ‘em!! 😍

My friend had a friend. It’s such trash that I’m more than ever convinced that the million dollar subway campaign with lots of white space for graffiti is an op of some kind.

A ‘friend’ plastic white disc giving off strong Canal Street electronic store vibes

Subway ad “Friend: someone who listens, responds and supports you” with graffiti saying’AI wouldn’t care if you lived or died”

THIS BOOK. My first @paultremblay.bsky.social novel. Filled me with dread the entire time. Being from KS originally, mention of a certain batshit baptist church made me feel right at home. And a @sgj.bsky.social jumpscare! Highly, highly recommend. I'll be thinking about this one for a while.

Cover for Rivers Solomon's AN UNKINDNESS OF GHOSTS. There's a drawing of a Black person's face staring sternly at you. Her skin is all but translucent, and you can see the stars of the universe through it.

Cover for Lauren Groff's THE MONSTERS OF TEMPLETON. It's a simple but interesting cover in that the title and author's name are in white and take up the front, but the background image appears to be reptilian scales.

Cover for Paul Tremblay's THE BEAST YOU ARE. It's all in red, featuring a wolf with yellow eyes coming in from a left to bite a cow's ear. The cow also has yellow eyes. It could be a buffalo. It looks like one of those woodcuts from way back in the day.

Cover for Kevin Lucia's CARETAKER OF THE DEAD. There's a black crow (or raven; I don't know. I'm just a bird lawyer not an ornithologist.) perched atop a old timey lantern.

On a flight home, woman in next row is reading HORROR MOVIE by @paultremblay.bsky.social .

I wanted to take a photo of the cover but for the whole three hour flight she just kept turning the pages.

Can’t think of a higher compliment to a writer.
