Sometimes, the truth will not be bottled or contained. It just... slips out to illuminate the world when least expected.

It's back! www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC1ZWWQ...

Oh my god, that's so random. Not a real thing. Sorry about that.

Last but not least, my sword-and-sorcery novelette THE SMOKE OF GOLD IS GLORY is now available at Amazon as well as at my own store: Grab it at Amazon: www.amazon.com/Smoke-Gold-G... Grab it at my place: www.scottlynchstore.com/product-page...

And next, KAIJU AGONISTES! Amazon cancelled my f'ing pre-order and promptly apologized, but there was no un-flipping that switch, so I had to relist the book. Fortunately, it's back up faster than expected with a new monster by Doruk Golcu! Grab it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC1ZWWQ...

It's new release day! First up, THE WIZARD WHO KEPT HIMSELF SUSPICIOUS, my fair-play murder mystery about a scruffy cigar-smoking deductive investigator named Colum-- I MEAN SHIVERICK-- who will neither confirm nor deny that he can actually cast spells. Get it at: www.amazon.com/Wizard-Himse...

YES. Jesus. Trying to add tension by forcing artificial incompetence upon characters is frustrating. It abrades the audience's patience. Make them as competent/sensible/dangerous as possible, then do something even MORE interesting with the antagonist to still threaten them.

I would love a gorgeous, authentically-costumed Icelandic medieval saga epic that's nothing but all the characters being shitposting lawyer cockbags suing each other left and right for asinine reasons and having big arguments at the Althing that go on for half their lives

BOOK AHAB: Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee! MOVIE AHAB: Look out, whale! Here comes a SPEAR! (I am being mean) (I hope)

@1eyecaveguy: WHO HAS DONE THIS? WHO HAS POSTED CRINGE? @dadneedsamap: nobody @1eyecaveguy: NOBODY HAS POSTED CRINGE IN MY THREAD @circe: i'm happy for you, bro @circe: i got 30-50 feral ithacans on my lawn though, lol

The world is full of wonders. A few centuries ago the only way to get Axe Body Spray was to chop an artery.

My 14-year-old self would be gleeful. Actually, my 48-year-old self is pretty damn gleeful.
