I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.
But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

Good morning, Horror Fam.
We spoke on The Blob and its remake yesterday - how do we feel about Dawn of the Dead (1978) and its 2004 remake?
I'll be honest, I'm positive in both but I think the '78 is a classic. What's your favorite flavor of zombie movie?

SONG DOGS is out December 2nd, and if I had to choose one theme that runs through all the Buzzard’s Edge books, it’s found family.
With that in mind, dedicating this book to @candacenola.bsky.social was long overdue.
