First newsletter went out today with a new flash piece from me and some of my favorite story recs by Kelly Link, Jeff VanderMeer, Karen Russell, Nathan Ballingrud, and Mary Rickert :) Give it a read maybe? coreyfarrenkopf.substack.com/p/coreys-stori…

Dark, strange books dressed in yellow! 📒 For every person who associates the color with cheer & sunshine, there's another (me) who thinks of the twisted stuff: sour lemons, wasps, caution signs, root rot. Also: Victorian "yellowback" railway novels, the Italian giallo genre...

A kind review for Haunted Ecologies :)

It’s Saturday at the Library! Will someone check out a book I love?Will it be you? Will I retrieve the book from the endless depths beneath the library, all those aisles of subterranean texts never meant to see the light of day? Or I could just find you a cozy fantasy…

I’ll never get over how lucky I am to have such a perfect cover for my story collection…

Got wicked exciting acceptance letter this morning :)

A dragon atop his horde.

Stayed up late. Beat Dark Souls 3…

Is now a good time to write a novella??? Yeah…sure…why not???

Love handing a Library patron a list of my favorite books to read :)

The three cormorants of the apocalypse ride upon a dinghy…

Kind words from Kay Chronister In Haunted Ecologies, Corey Farrenkopf combs the cold shores, misty forests, and damp basements of realities not quite our own…A dreamy, lush collection that drips, slithers, and crawls from the page. — Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife

It’s another Saturday at the Library! Did you know many libraries have gallery space where local artists can share their work? Well, now you do! Stop by your local branch…and maybe have your own work displayed! This month we have Cape Cod Fiver Artists showing quilts!

Spending some time with Sam Rebelein’s Galloway’s Gospel today. It’s an absolutely wild ride. If you ever wished Jim Henson’s dark fantasies were mixed with something akin to the x-files, but with more hungry pigs, this one’s for you :)

Always a nice morning when I can sneak a little short story reading in there :)

When I was 23, I spent my summer landscaping cemeteries, listening to Dracula and LOTR audiobooks, and writing this book after I came home from work, all sweat drenched from dodging headstones all day. That 23 year old version of me is so thankful this got to exist :)

Do you need a silly little Library video for your afternoon??? Here’s one about summer reading and existential dread :)

It’s another Saturday at the Library! I’ll be slinging all your favorite books all day!!! (That’s a lie. I’ll be slinging MY favorite books all day! I am mad with power)

Hey WorldCon friends! If you see a woman in a strawberry printed shirt, say hi to her from me! She’s a dear friend from Cape Cod and it would make here day. Her names Ali :)
