It’s cover reveal day for I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200! A book about nostalgia, grief, digital brainrot, the loneliness epidemic, and the boundless, breathless power of a child’s imagination, but mostly about beating puppets to death with your bare fists. linktr.ee/killyourimag...

I will be one of the people buying this AND a how-to guide for breaking someone out of prison.

You have a book coming out…?! You should probably let people know on socials and more importantly the @bigfeets.bsky.social podcast asap - I hear legal trouble for actively not trying to sell your book comes with a harsh sentence (much worse than Romanian prison)

Oh, but we are not here to judge a book by its content. Look at that gorgeous cover! Those sprayed edges! That’s how books wear tuxedos. Better pre-order I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200 right now, because it has a gala to get to later.

And it doesn’t end at the cover, order now and you get a special bonus goblin princess! She’s such a minor character in the book, but I adore this art. Her nasty, idiot joy really steals the show.

Page Street even let me use the author photo where I just had my eyes dilated, so it looks like I can see through time. Horror authors do not want to look handsome, we don’t want to look pretty, or smart, or dignified. What we really want is to look like we’ve just seen a prophecy of your doom.

Bang on. Every horror author photo should look like they know the face of the Devil.

Anyway, I just wanted to add that I'm excited to be working with Page Street, I’m overjoyed at how this book turned out, and I’m warning you kids for the last time that all you’ll find up there is blood and darkness.

I can't believe you caved to those bullies in the PR industry. Lawyers may be scary, but think about how hilarious it would've been to set record lows for your publishers book sales!

I can't wait to read it. I'll put money in your commissary fund as a thank you. Get yourself some ramen and socks on the inside.

Wait a second here. When I preordered your book before you were legally obligated to promote it, you called me a sucker and maybe even told me to fuck off? And now, under legal duress, you’re “excited” and “overjoyed”? I feel betrayed but I’m not sure how or why.

I feel like this photo is daring me to try and read this book. Like I am going to have to fist fight you to earn the right.
