Spotted Red Line: Chicago Horror Stories at my local Barnes & Noble. First time seeing something my work is a part of in the wild! @frombeyondpress.bsky.social

Fantasticland by @mikebockoven.bsky.social was a wild ride. I still can’t decide which faction I’d land in, but I know which I wouldn’t want to!

This is the most thriller-leaning on the list, and definitely the most lit-fic, but I have to recommend it highly because I am a sucker for stories that follow characters through their lives.

This book made me cry. I cared about each family and thought about the story whenever I wasn’t reading.

This was less horror and more horror-leaning fiction but I loved it, loved the dual timelines and the lore and the writing.

The Cursed Moon is likely my favorite spooky middle grade of all time! It even scared my kiddos, which is a tall order.

This Wretched Valley by @jennykiefer.com. I couldn’t put it down. Tore through it in two days and can’t wait for Jenny’s next book!

This duology by @keithrosson.bsky.social sets the standard for a duology. The wait between Fever House and The Devil by Name was agonizing!

I’m still thinking about scenes from @joshmalerman.bsky.social’s Incidents Around The House and I read it the week it released!

One of my favorite middle grade reads of all time and definitely my favorite spooky middle grade!

I tore through @jennykiefer.com’s This Wretched Valley.

This duology by @keithrosson.bsky.social is unputdownable. The wait between Fever House and The Devil by Name was agonizing, but worth it.

My Christmas gift was cash in hand and a trip to Barnes & Noble to take advantage of their hardcover sale. I did some *damage.* This bag is FULL.

So many things to celebrate today! A new short linked on my profile, and this milestone.

I will never let me down.

It’s a mess, but it exists, and messes can be fixed.

My favorite way to start a week. ❤️

Cozy twins 🥰

Oh, to rest peacefully on this day.
