For the record, I love @ericlarocca.bsky.social books.

Cover reveal coming tomorrow morning (Thursday) for Burnt Sparrow Book 2 💚 This novel was extremely difficult to get just right. It’s intense, claustrophobic, and deeply unpleasant. My very own “video nasty.” I can’t wait to share it with you…

Holy shit, this novel I’m writing is SAD.

Today is George A. Romero‘s birthday! I celebrate with this exclusive excerpt from my book PARTIALLY DEVOURED, coming 3.10.26.

added a few dozen books to the 2026 list this week (lots of sept/oct books have been announced in the last month), take a look!

Spotted by a dear friend at Under the Umbrella, a queer-owned bookstore in Salt Lake City, Utah. It fills me with so much joy to know booksellers are getting behind my new novel… ❤️

On this day in Canadian Horror History, VIDEODROME was released in 1983.

Haven't read this one but LaRocca is a brilliant writer. I bet it's fantastic & super disturbing!

Do you like horror novels? Well, 2026 has some good news for you! crimereads.com/27-new-and-u...

We don't talk enough about the genital horror in Lars Von Trier's ANTICHRIST!

SNEAK PEEK: The fun thing about a short story collection is you get to pay homage to all the other short story authors who have influenced and delighted you. Hence, this chonker of a dedication page (which still managed to leave names out on accident). Have you preordered your copy yet? 👀🗝️🔑

No matter what the groundhog says tomorrow, it's still very much winter! @vlatinalondon.bsky.social have compiled the books we're looking forward to in Winter 2026. Do you see some anticipated faves? What are you looking forward tor reading?

Thank you to @copperdogbooks.bsky.social and every who came out to celebrate @sjacksonawards.bsky.social awards with me @catvalente.bsky.social @johnlangan.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social & @paultremblay.bsky.social

It was such an honor to speak tonight on a panel dedicated to the legacy of the iconic Shirley Jackson. The event at Copper Dog Books was a fabulous fundraiser for the Shirley Jackson Awards. ❤️

Did you know? @ericlarocca.bsky.social's THEY WERE HERE BEFORE US was our very first single-author title. "They Were Here Before Us warps reality in a way that allows us to see the horrific, grotesque beauty." -- Paul Tremblay, author of A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS bookshop.org/p/books/they...

Just woke from a particularly horrific nightmare that I believe must be the result of reading the short story "You're Not Supposed to Be Here" by @ericlarocca.bsky.social yesterday. So, well done, Eric. 😂🖤

Even earlier start today. At O’Hare. Headed to Boston. Hanging with some family and friends. Oh yeah and this…. copperdogbooks.com/event/2026-0... See you there! @paultremblay.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social @johnlangan.bsky.social @catvalente.bsky.social @sjacksonawards.bsky.social

There's quite a lot going on, so it feels weird to be like HEY HEY LOOK AT ME, but maybe you like books, and like books by me, and want to see the cover to my next one, coming in August:

Horror contains multitudes… Anything is possible. My ARTPOP could mean anything 🔵

Shirley Jackson got it right. 100%.

Thrilled to see THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT get a nod here alongside upcoming books by Cynthia Pelayo, Kylie Lee Baker, Eric LaRocca, and more! "It begins in 1994, when three friends go out to see a movie, and only one friend leaves" coming from Titan Books on September 15th! 📽️

Not to alarm anyone but Bloody Disgusting just released their Most Anticipated Horror Books of 2026 and called me “one of the brightest horror stars of the 2020s” 💀💀💀 Grateful. So deeply grateful…
