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.

Finishing writing and editing work on the Freakshow sequel chewed up so much of my usual Halloween seasonal viewing time that I decided to delve into a few of the stone cold classics while I still can before October 31 comes and goes.

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

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
