Decided to push the release date for the sequel to my sci-fi horror novel The Ravening, called Island of Devils, back to November, which is a good thing tbh. More details to come, so stayed tuned! 🎃🖤

ICYMI now that Spooky Season is officially here! 🎃🖤

The first two books in my 5-book DEPRAVED series are just 99 cents each through the end of this month. www.amazon.com/dp/B08FZ27M4...

Spooky Season is upon us & I've got signed copies of my Halloween horror novelette Mister Jack available! Plus you can get my Mister Jack/Summerdale Trilogy, signed with two exclusive bookmarks, directly from me! That's 3 books (plus the free limited edition chapbook) for $40! 🎃🖤

Finished this 2 days ago and it's unequivocally my favorite read of 2025. Horrifying and heartbreaking and one that will stay with you long after you've finished it. Highest of recommendations!

Got my copy a week early, laws yes! M-O-O-N, that spells awesome! 🖤🐦‍⬛

Go nab this! Was both an honor and an absolute blast to be a part of this!

DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN is back in print with a brand-new cover. On sale now in paperback, eBook, & audiobook. amzn.to/459SeLQ "Try Darkness on the Edge of Town by Brian Keene. Excellent short horror novel!" — Stephen King "A virtuoso writer. A true master of the genre." — Fangoria

100 pages into this masterpiece, easily will be my favorite read of 2025. Much like Tananarive Due did with The Reformatory, blending history with horror, this book is simply enthralling. Gives a whole new spin on vampires much like Anne Rice did with Interview. Highest of recommendations!

My 2nd novel, originally a limited edition in 2006, has never been in print since. Until now. I have many feelings about this. I still love the story and the characters. The settings are ripped out of my life from over 20 years ago. But it’s rough, an early version of me. I hope you enjoy.
