It’s basically where the main character is treated like crap and there are paranormal elements in the story - could be the characters are shape shifters, werewolves, etc. mashup of sci fi/horror/fantasy.— Be a lot cooler if you did 💫🌪💫 (@Draggerofliars) January 4, 2023

However, it’s come to light that the account may have been a burner page that Meachen created in order to maintain a presence in the book community while also remaining dead.

Author Susan Meachen, back from the dead, with one of the most impressive gaslighting performances you’ll ever read. pic.twitter.com/tHpVd7IFTT— Anaïs is reading (@anaisisreading) January 7, 2023

Does transcending the pages of a book make me a bad Author or a good one?
Much to contemplate and consider

I do love the defense of, "Oh, I'm only worth money to you dead, you ghouls?" Good stuff.

The best literary clusterfucks are the ones where the author tries to author through it

Decided there was more "healing to be had" by yknow not being dead. She's amazing.

I'm mostly wishing death on myself after having read all that, tbh.

This is my favorite performance by a lit clusterfuck actor. Truly hard to take the side of the victims.

Susan Meachen, a romance writer accused of faking her own death, said her online community had become a danger to her mental health. “It wasn’t good for me, no it wasn’t,” she told @EllenBarryNYT. “I wish I had never met the book industry whatsoever.” https://t.co/xebE0BwwJc— New York Times Books (@nytimesbooks) January 18, 2023

the whole thing just brings up more questions about this online self-published romance writer community that I do not believe I need answered

feel like this person doesn't really deserve an NYT article

however, am I reading it? yes, yes I am

At their best, the groups are a fountain of support for “indie” authors, who self-publish their work and help each other with covers and marketing, which is known as “pimping.”
Thank u for teaching us this hip new lingo, NYT

Anyone know any updates on bad art friend? Inquiring minds want to know and are too lazy to google I guess.

Not a clusterfuck so much as outright racism and transphobia which is thankfully coming back to destroy dude's career
Last week, Tom Monteleone had a FB post that attracted a lot of attention, and was around 800 comments when deleted. Yesterday, Tom joined Hatchet Mouth and Protestant Folk Peasant on a podcast episode called Facebook has AIDS w/Tom Monteleone. 1/24— Dark Dispatch (@dark_dispatch) January 30, 2023

He was a horror editor

I think I can spot where his brain went wrong
Monteleone is an admirer of Ayn Rand, and has described her book Atlas Shrugged as a "personal barometer".[3]

best I can gather this is a guy who has edited horror anthologies? the twenty thousand people who are looking for his ability to create a story collection and also have bought into his shit can go create their own community who care

People over the age of thirty who admire Atlas Shrugged are guaranteed to be among the worst people you'll ever meet.
