I super respect @carsonwinter.bsky.social. He’s grown into one of the most consistent writers I’ve met. As much as even the thought of reading his books scares me, reading them is scarier. I apologize for any transgressions I’ve made. Feel free to cuck my corpse in your next book.

HOWLS had the pleasure of conversing with Rachel Harrison after we read Black Sheep! We talk horror, writing, and her upcoming novel, Play Nice!
13 Questions With Rachel Harrison

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because life is unfair doesn’t mean you have to make your kids’ lives unfair. Your home shouldn’t be a microcosm of the world as you see it. It should be a safe place. You can teach them to navigate troubles without fabricating troubles for them.
