What can I say? If this guy says my story is “nice and violent,” you know you should read it. So cool.
ah, nice and violent, just like everything over at Shotgun Honey should be. nice, @authordileo.bsky.social
Talk about Horror Joy! Had a blast this weekend @christineharrold.bsky.social. The good people @horrorjoypod.bsky.social should interview her! She’s created one of the best horror gatherings around! @mwmercier.bsky.social Also, talking with @johnlangan.bsky.social makes me want to be smarter.

Got my @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social books edition of KILL YOUR DARLING @claymcleod.bsky.social personalized at Horror Reader Weekend. (It’s a phenomenal book. Haven’t read it? See Clay’s face of disbelief. Seriously, people—read it!)

@danielbraum.bsky.social A pleasure talking with you! Looking forward to reading your stories!

@grindhousepress.bsky.social Did I perform a reading from THE HANDS OF ONAN at Horror Reader Weekend? Damn right. (Thanks @mwmercier.bsky.social for the pics.)

So cool to talk with @pfracassi.bsky.social at Horror Reader Weekend, and to hear him cry like a demonic baby as he read from GOTHIC. (Also, everyone read Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre. It’s awesome, bloody fun!)

This is what it looks like when you get @johnlangan.bsky.social to sign a book for you and then @claymcleod.bsky.social finds out you didn’t pay for it.

(Side note: read the first story in Corpsemouth, “Kore,” this morning and it’s pitch-perfect, creepy and unsettling.)

@johnlangan.bsky.social’s name card told me in an otherworldly voice to hide @claymcleod.bsky.social’s name card. I’m not responsible for its disappearance.

Really loving WELCOME TO DERRY. It’s faithful to the spirit of @stephenking.bsky.social ‘s IT. Violent, scary, and all about finding the courage to confront the monster.

Been thinking a lot about the advice @pfracassi.bsky.social offered in my "Five Questions" interview with him.
"You’ll never have to stop working to create success, so just keep going." #writingadvice

#HappyHalloween A few years ago, I wrote an essay for the Horror Writers' Association's Halloween Haunts, "Rising from the Dead." It's about my father, and it'll give you an insight into what this holiday was like in my family. Enjoy! horror.org/halloween-ha...
