Those of us who celebrate Christmas, I think we can all agree that the 2nd best day of the yuletide season is when we remove the Christmas Tree from our homes and have our full living rooms back and the sun can shine through. At the very least, that day is our dog's favorite day of yuletide season.

This book is full of genuinely creepy & disturbing moments, but leavened with humor (as all the best horror is). It's also poignant & melancholy & heartbreaking, as only nostalgia can be.

IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD. And also if you are in a post-Stranger Things emotional drop, this will ease the pain.

Such an honour to appear on this, along with so many stellar reads! 🤩

My #FridayReads is THE STRENGTH OF THE MANY by James Islington @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

Big sigh of relief last night in NJ

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART is out today, and I'm going on book tour! All info here: www.christinahenry.net?p=1434

Been doing the #31DayHorrorChallenge from @nofspodcast.bsky.social for a few years now, but I completed it for the first time this year. I swapped some of the days/challenges and doubled up on some days to make up for a couple no movie days, but I completed all 31 prompts!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Halloween baby (which I just recently learned is in its 11th printing??)!! I’m so beyond grateful to all you readers and posters and reviewers—and, of course, to my dear Nightfire, who lets me write strange & spooky books about horrifying things. Thank you thank you! 🙏❤️🗽💀🪹

For years, I didn't understand why my friend kept demanding I watch a kids show about a guy with an arrow on his head, and then I did, and now I understand. With all the renewed interest in Avatar thanks to the upcoming @magic.wizards.com set, here's my take on why it's so magical.
