Get some Irish Horror for Halloween. Sure, weren't we the ones who invented it. Including stories from @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social @leighkenny.bsky.social and myself, and edited by @kevinjkennedy.bsky.social Horror Tales from Ireland. The Kindle version is free! www.amazon.co.uk/Horror-Tales...

This is a turnip that my daughter carved last Halloween. Time has ravaged his once youthful turnipiness and revealed his true soul. [Toothpicks for teeth].

Book 2 of Frost Zone Stories arrived today from @frostzonestories.bsky.social. Full of chilling tales to lead us into the spooky season. I love the skeleton girl pointing the way.

Summer Solstice is wonderful, but... We know that autumn isn't that far off. 🍂🍁🎃 Releasing in September is Book 2 of Frost Zone Stories, featuring new short stories by 11 authors. #shortstories #horrormag #quiethorror #Canadianpublisher

After all the dogs walks that inspired it, and all the late nights spent writing it, my debut novella GOOD BOY now exists as a physical object! It's out October 9th from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social and available for worldwide pre-order at www.wildhuntbooks.co.uk/books/p/good...

My latest guest is @blacktopkid.bsky.social - discussing KING OF ASHES and the righteous violence that runs like a lethal current through all of his work. It's a top-5 episode for sure! All podcast platforms.

Just watched Jakob's Wife and loved it. Grubby American realism, cheap, old-fashioned, and brilliant. Imagine Hal Hartley made a vampire movie, or Buffy for the middle-aged.

New story is available to read now in Strange Horizons! 'Sceach Gheal' is the Irish name for the hawthorn, a tree often associated with fairies, not that anybody actually believes in fairies... or do they? 🧚‍♂️ 🌳 🇮🇪 strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Coming soon from @filthyloot.bsky.social

Guess who gets to do a cover reveal Friday May 9th! SEED, the conclusion of the Dark Walker trilogy was my favorite cover to design. I’m over the moon with how it turned out! Pre-orders are live. Want to win a set of autographed copies of GULF and BREACH with hand-stenciled edges?

Amazing shoutout to TRADWIFE in Brian Keene's newsletter this month!

Younger folks, I'm here from the future to urge you to protect your hearing at concerts and such. I still love music, but I'd love it a lot more if every song wasn't accompanied by a sustained, high-pitched "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

To be clear, yes this is about Off Limits Press closing before my book has a chance to release in July. I’m heartbroken, but I’m determined to bring my unkempt disaster women to the eyes of the masses!!
