Found some friends at frightreads!

Man, with @kennethwcain.bsky.social | @kkfilms.bsky.social -edited FEAR OF CLOWNS and OCTOBER SCREAMS and @andrewcull.bsky.social | @gabino.bsky.social -edited FOUND series, and so many more, it really is a great time to be a horror fan, especially if you love anthologies.

It’s even cheaper now—no idea what’s going on unless they’re moving a lot of copies, but on Thursday its retail goes to $48.95 so if ya want one, get it before then!

It's crazy! Also, the ebook is 40% off, but that's only going to be until Sunday. But the HC is a STEAL!

STILL 57% off if you click the coupon box! New stories from @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @adamcesare.bsky.social @bevvincent.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @timwaggoner.bsky.social & many more! www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

Anybody else see that the Fear of Clowns HC is at 55% off? I think that's basically cost...not sure why Amazon's doing it(mistake?), but better get in while you can! (might even be a 10% to make it cheaper...) www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

Bridgett Nelson's DEADGIRL comes out May 6th, but you can get early signed copies from her online store! The book contains the bonus story "Deadgirl's #1 Fan" by me, so I'll sign it too! Order now and get it before the official release date! bridgettnelsonhorror.bigcartel.com

Right now, there's a 20% off coupon on Amazon for the HARDCOVER edition! If you haven't snagged one, now's a good time! www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

Using AI to compose your work isn't just lazy and unethical. Countless authors have had their work pirated to train AI programs without their knowledge, consent, or proper compensation. If you're using AI to generate your content, you are participating in that theft.

Got out to see Purple Rain in Dolby last night. Saw this movie on cable about 50 times when I was young. Man, Prince was a supernova.

The HC and paperback are both on sale, not sure how long! NEW stories by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @adamcesare.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @jonathanjanz.bsky.social SO MANY MORE www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

Thank you so much! Very happy you enjoyed it!

Awesome time at the Wake Up and Open Your Eyes reading— Clay Chapman always puts on a performance, and Ronald Malfi kept the discussion interesting! Go get your copy!

We hired this professional male model to advertise Fear of Clowns! He was supposed to be shirtless on a horse, but what are you gonna do? Also, head to Vortex's web site to get your SIGNED copies! vortexbooksandcomicsonline.bigcartel.com

Five and a half months ago, we opened @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social. It was a stressful undertaking made easier by knowing that so many of you had our back. Yesterday's announced expansion of Vortex was less stressful for that same reason. Thank you all. www.gofundme.com/f/vortex-boo...

The word is out! My next novel, THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE, will be published next April by @shortwavebooks.bsky.social! Many thanks to @beckylejeune.bsky.social and @alandistro.bsky.social for making this happen!

New from @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social, THE EVERYWHERE HOUSE by @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, with cover art by Vincent Chong. I remember Mary teasing this book years ago on The Horror Show With Brian Keene podcast, and have been waiting for it ever since. Well, folks, it is finally here! 🎉🎉🎉

Haven't announced the last couple of authors yet, but I'll drop the whole list here as a bonus--please don't share this outside of Bluesky until tomorrow...the full lineup for Fear of Clowns: A Horror Anthology!
