- Reposted by Pierce KingIf you’re not terrified of the deep ocean, you should be, especially after watching this. An oil drilling crew awakens ancient creatures and the end gives Lovecraftian vibes. Plus I have a crush on Kristen Stewart so 🤷🏻♀️
- Reposted by Pierce KingMy story “Mercy” is on the latest episode of The NoSleep Podcast!!! 🎉🥳🖤
- Decided it would be fun to round up my writing stats for the year. My 2026 goal is to hit 100 rejections!

- Reposted by Pierce KingWe are almost ready for a full cover reveal of SLUGGER Vol. 1!
- Reposted by Pierce KingCover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing

- Reposted by Pierce KingI went on the Dead Languages Podcast and all I got was this creeping sense of unease as the world disintegrates around me! Listen to me chat with PLM and Carson about disorientation in horror, fun ways to collapse reality, and NYC's plague of sexy, sexy rats

- With the Haunting of Hill House being one of my favorite books, I would love to write something like that with Shirley Jackson. Not necessarily a haunted house, but some weird quiet horror! #HorrorWritersChat
- Since traveling through time would be an unknown journey, pretty much anything that could go wrong through the actual traveling. Maybe some entity lives along the "road" used for time travel or it could inflict alien biology onto the traveler. #Horrorwriterschat
- Probably the 20s and 30s. I just love the weird pulp vibes of the time plus the lack of modern day technology. #Horrorwriterschat
- I'm Pierce, from VA. I don't know if I could say any historical writer is my doppelganger, but I LOVE Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury!

It's $9.99 and just about every cent goes to the author. If you're into that sort of thing, grab it here: carsonwinter.com/product/port...

- Nothing's better than waking up to an acceptance. Waking up to a rejection is pretty high up there, though.

- Reposted by Pierce KingHappy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!at://did:plc:wwjss53nxnepxiv2uhdbts6k/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lp5ajpwj6v2b
- Recently finished reading this collection! Its a banger!
- Reposted by Pierce KingPORTRAITS OF DECAY is out NOW! I couldn’t be prouder of this book—the short story is such a fundamental part of the horror genre, it feels especially exciting to see my work collected. To kick off PORTRAITS’ birth, I wanted to talk about some of the works that served as its inspiration. THREAD/

- I go through a cycle of becoming obsessed with the Arkham Horror card game, putting it down for a while, and falling in love with it again after one scenario. It's like the cozy Skyrim cycle but a tabletop game!
