Coming December 6 from @grindhousepress.bsky.social
Cover for The Freakshow: Rebirth in Drayton Falls by Bryan Smith. Depicts an eerie, orange-tinted nighttime scene of a big top tent. Back cover text: After a long dormant period, the Flaherty Brothers Traveling Freakshow & Carnivale has risen from the ashes to once again bring bloody spectacle and carnage to remote corners of the land. Presided over now by the mysterious Dr. Midnight, the Freakshow’s latest stop is Drayton Falls, perhaps the strangest of all the towns it has ever visited, a place long accustomed to odd occurrences and strange phenomena. Will the Freakshow’s deranged new master of ceremonies emerge triumphant at the end of the long night of screams and psychotronic thrills, or will he meet his match in the citizenry of this haunted town? There’s only one way to find out—by once again paying the price of admission to enter…THE FREAKSHOW. Contains two bonus stories: THE FOOT: A closet fetishist out for his daily stroll happens across a grotesque discovery that stirs a macabre and irresistible temptation. NO SUCH THING: Professional grifter Colton Fisher doesn’t believe in ghosts, but maybe they believe in him.

Halloween night, 1987. Big hair, fast cars, metal, and...a race along dark and dangerous back roads with Lucifer himself.

All three books in my THE UNSEEN trilogy are just 99 cents each on Kindle through the end of October.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZ3NP5B...
Promotional graphic for all 3 novels in my The Unseen trilogy. Shows the following blurb on the screen of a retro old-fashioned TV with knobs and dials. “As a lifelong horror movie geek and diehard physical media collector, the moment I heard the concept for The Unseen I knew I had to read it. I tore through the first book in a single sitting and was immediately fiending for more. Smith has since expanded the story into a full trilogy that I will hopefully not have to visit an alternate reality to see adapted into a film one day. If you are a horror movie geek, you will absolutely love these books!” --Mike Lombardo, author of Don't Tap on the glass and director of Dead Formaata

Chapter 10 of The Freakshow 2 is now available exclusively at the usual place. See below.

Please note that, unlike the original Freakshow, this is a novella rather than a full-length novel. It will wrap up within approximately another four to five chapters or so.

By now new followers who came here after reading my story in IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD may know I'm mostly known for my work in the splatter/extreme genre. If you're looking for something more like "Every Dog Has Its Day", the novel of mine you're gonna want to look into is SLOWLY WE ROT.

In 2015, not long after it was released, @briankeene.bsky.social called my novel SLOWLY WE ROT "hands down the single best zombie novel I've ever read." Well, that novel is now at long last available in audio format from Fright Night Audio.

If you're not ready for the absolute goriest & depraved that über-horror/splatterpunk can deliver, then you're not ready for @bryansmith.bsky.social's deliciously bizarre "Freakshow". Find out why the next stop in this ride can only be insanity.

P.S. Bwhahaha!
