Weekend read: PERFECT HAPPINESS by You-Jeong Jeong, translated by Sean Lin Halbert. This one isn’t going to be pretty. They call Jeong “South Korea’s Stephen King” for a reason and I am learning why very quickly. Thank you Creature Publishing for the ARC. On shelves September 30.
I wrote a story about a haunted birdhouse called “swallowbox” and guess what? It’s popping up in this new anthology, F$&@ AROUND AND FIND OUT, available August 2nd. Featuring stories by: Nick Roberts, me, John Durgin, MJ Mars, Gage Greenwood, Steven Pajak, Jay Bower, Leigh Kenny
"Round up the usual suspects!"
Treating the boyz to their first Paul Tremblay event. Super fun discussion about his new middlegrade novel ANOTHER at Books Are Magic. Total bonus bumping into Grady Hendrix and Nat Cassidy.

🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀• @darrenwriter What, you thought Clay was going to go EASY on you? Because this is YA?? Oh no, my friends. No no no. In SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE, @claymcleod’s YA horror coming out in November, Clay holds nothing back. It’s a masterpiece of eerie unease, creeping dread
In high school I caught local post-punk band hose.got.cable open for Avail and it sorta felt like my life changed forever. I just found this zine from Rooster Cow Records, including a live recording from 1995, and it’s really taking me back.

Getting our Oedipus on tonight at Little Island. The epic myth is reborn as a Pentecostal ritual in The Gospel at Colonus.
I just read the most thoughtful review of WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES. It’s the kind of review that I’m always hopeful to get: insightful, analytical, expansive. I’m blown away. Did I really write the book this critic read? Reviews like these give me hope: bit.ly/4kUtgoo
