. The reveal at the end of Chapter 11 made me gasp. I loved it! It makes perfect sense in a book of people, animals, and objects out of time. God's Junk Drawer comes out on October 11. #booksky #sciencefiction #horror

557 pages down in King Sorrow by Joe Hill. Great Storytelling, it could be my favorite Joe Hill. I did not have on my bucket list that the book would make reference "General" a story from Stephen King's Cat's Eye.

180 pages into King Sorrow, happy to see @brackenmacleod.bsky.social get a character named after him. The book is so good. I'm very invested in the characters and the plot.

Nice! You did a podcast The Thriller Zone, about A Child Alone With Strangers. When talking about trigger warnings, you said it would be a page long to list them. The trigger warnings are: this book will offend you. When I meet you, I'm going to ask you to sign this book will offend you.
Quick blast to let folks know the paperback edition of A CHILD ALONE WITH STRANGERS releases TUESDAY, Oct 28. Includes a bonus story, polished text, a brand new cover, and an introduction by Clay McLeod Chapman.
