Books Books Books 💙📚 God, I love indie horror & small presses! Especially these three 🖤 ⬇️ -THIN PLACES by @kaychronister.bsky.social from @undertow.bsky.social -ELOGONA by Samantha Kolesnik from @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social -THANK YOU FOR JOINING THE ALGORITHM from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Can you imagine the art you create living a life beyond you? Somewhere across the world, someone you know nothing about hears a bird in the woods and is reminded of a feeling you made them feel. It adds a color to their day. You have no say. You never find out. It's all worth it.

My 2023 best-of list is still a couple weeks off but I just finished the best book I’ve read so far this year. ONE HAND TO HOLD, ONE HAND TO CARVE by M. Shaw—the most revolutionary Garden of Eden story I can imagine, a game-changing fable, a masterpiece. @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

💙📚 Bookmail, Pt 1 @tenebrouspress.bsky.social remains one of the best indie presses around with the wonderful assortment of swag they send with every order, & this hardcover edition of POSTHASTE MANOR by @jolietoomajan.bsky.social & @carsonwinter.bsky.social is no exception 🖤 It's beautiful.

POSTHASTE MANOR has spooky cover art by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social & interior illustrations by @alexwoodroe.bsky.social. You can get it below and I'll review it soon! (And btw, the boxes they send their stuff in make GREAT containers for art supplies...) tenebrouspress.com

We need a droplist for authors who use AI to write or to make their cover art. Don't work with them, don't promote them, don't blurb them. We need to treat them like scabs, because this is scabbing behavior.

So call me old fashioned, but when I see writers in private groups talking about how they use AI programs to write/plot/brainstorm/worldbuild, I know I don't need to bother giving them a damn penny of my money. So that helps.
