Sobelo Books announces a cosmic horror novella call for BIPOC authors. There’s more room in the horror sandbox than ever before, but there are some underexplored corners of it. Claim your corner. What does cosmic horror mean for a person of color? This is the story only you can tell.

DEAD FIRST is a supernatural horror novel mixed with detective noir, a combo I've been in love with since I watched Angel Heart when I was far too young.

I made this Horror Community Starter pack with established horror creators - and I still have plenty of people to add. (Stephen King isn't even on mine yet - but he doesn't post.)
I've seen other horror lists that also include new and aspiring horror creators, horror fans, etc.

It's been great seeing all the positive reviews for The Devil's Promise on Goodreads and Amazon. Quite a few of them mention the ending. It was a bit of a risk, but I'm glad the surprise is resonating with readers.
