For some of the clearest thinking about the writing and publishing scene, @TheLincoln is unbeatable. You can trust him because the books are actually good whether it's the blighted future of The Body Scout or the unnerving worlds of Upright Beasts.

We need a new collection tho. "The Marigold is a wild eco-horror fable with biting cr

I know when I had @NabenRuthnum read the third draft, he would tell me if I was an idiot. This is what you rely on your friends to do. Someone who has made me read wider, think deeper, and refused to let me wallow in self pity. Also owns a lot of good t-shirts. “The Marigold is social critique written in the only way t
the novella that should be winning every award out there. Not really a contest. Henry James and David Cronenberg go out for a weekend in the country and bring this beauty home.

Thanks to Undertow for all they do for horror.

A prophecy of the now, a caustic confrontation with self-hatred, and a withering look at what it means to speak about "diversity" in the overlapping worlds of tech and education. A HERO OF OUR TIME.

Some US publisher better pick up this fucking book.

our friend @reid_iain is no longer a Canadian secret. You've read I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Foe, and We Spread. You've seen his work adapted into film. You know he will continue to surprise us. Iain was one of the first people to read the ARC and I am very grateful. "A bold, dystopian novel that captivates with its dread
Iain captures the desolate isolation of rural Ontario in this book, driving through the darkness with only headlights to save you, alone with your thoughts. The fence lines go on forever. No one knows when you'll be back.

the sense of isolation continues in FOE as Reid flexes his mind and draws you into an eerie confrontation with what it means to be a person.

I started reading @mdbell79 in online literary journals that don't exist anymore.

I still keep a copy of Cataclysm Baby in my office as it reminded me I could do whatever I wanted with my stories. I feel very lucky he checked out THE MARIGOLD. “In this keen and surprising work of eco-horror, Andrew F.
Appleseed has everything you want in a Matt Bell novel. It will make you want to do more, write bigger, and actually exercise your imagination. You may also experience emotions. Fair warning.

The book that launched a thousand novels and saved ten thousand more. A clarity and kindness you rarely get in books about writing. Recommended:

a thread I am going to add to every day with influences on THE MARIGOLD, be they book, film, beast or some combination of all three.

first up, Iggy the Bread Dog, first of his name. Majestic street criminal, former inmate, lord of all garbage days & connoisseur of fried chicken. ImageImageImageImage
CITY OF BOHANE by Kevin Barry gives you a sweeping study of an unhinged, near-future Irish city on the edge of collapse - the language is beautiful, the characters ridiculous and charming, and the impact on my own fiction enormous.

have to give some props to @stevestred for pulling this thread out of The Marigold. Paul Verhoeven's classic ROBOCOP delves deep into urban precarity, technofascism, and unrelenting corporate greed before slathering the whole thing in satire so thick it sticks to your eyelids. ImageImageImageImage
