I asked
@SGJ72
how he writes such great female characters devoid of “the male gaze” and he said he:
1. Uses other male-authored works as cautionary references
2. Is terrified of the badass women in his life
3. Asks women to read drafts and tell him, “where he’s being stupid”
YET ANOTHER

post — I know, but living close to one of your all-time fave authors is a top tier experience 🫶 highly recommend you move near yours once the housing market calms down. Anyway, Mongrels is great. 🔪🖤🐺
Y’all I am HERE FOR these heartfelt horror stories we’ve been getting lately!
@rachfacelogic
’s So Thirsty is a gorgeous, bloody story about friendship and finding yourself — plus there are sexy vampires, which is always a win.
Thanks

Just something about this book, man. 🔪🪶
@SGJ72
, thanks for sharing Tolly and Amber with us.

The leggings are way too cheap-o for me to run 6.2 miles in so I’m going to use fabric paint on a pair of my normal ones, but this is my Halloween race vibe! Picture fake blood all over me, and running, and you basically have it 🏃♀️🔪🩸
Had so much fun last night listening to
@SGJ72
read several of his short pieces and answer questions. Thanks for always being so rad, and down for my ridiculous hijinks!

Another day, another
@SGJ72
acknowledgement section that completely took me out 🥲🥲🥲
Loved the whole thing. Plus I will never look at prairie dogs the same way again, and I see them almost daily 😂
Had the absolute best time talking GOOD DOGS — meaning, airing my grievances about how this devastated me — and chatting afterwards with

The only thing we were missing was

So, read this one. Full review coming soon!
Just now finished The Bird Is Gone and still reeling. Feel like I need to read it nine more times to comprehend all the moving pieces.
It’s weird and chaotic and amazing. Anyone want to discuss, because I need to talk through it 😅 As always, thanks for writing,

Guys I survived! And beat my goal time by a few min. Great spooky vibes too with low clouds and rain against the mountains, but I left my phone in the car so you just have to imagine it 👻🏔️🌧️
Super fun & terrifying tale of twisted teens — plays upon some of my biggest fears so that’s always fun 🤣
Empty house at night? Wtf was that sound? UGH, TERRIFYING. Definitely read this one — the
@audible_com
version is incredible too!

I remembered what I was going to say at the signing! You really ✨must✨ read And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott — it was my fave read of 2023 (Slasher is gonna be my 2024).
Channeling my inner Jade/Ambs/Izzy this morning, running my race as a FINAL GIRL 🩸🔪 got a lot of comments about it being unsafe to run with a blade until I would demo that it was plastic…
I. Am. CACKLING at these

Are you in the mood for claustrophobic small town vibes and murderous, sacrifice-seeking scarecrows? Well then I’ve got just the thing!
@CarsonWinter3

There should be an Olympic event where each country gets one writer and they get the entire length of the games to write a novel and at the end judges read them and give out medals and whatnot. Who are we sending is the question???
