Have you added @brennanlafaro.bsky.social's THE DENIZENS to your Goodreads TBR yet? If not... we'd love it if you would :) 🦇📚🧟‍♂️

Four years in the making, THE DENIZENS sets up to mix ancient magic with the walking dead in a way you’ve never seen before. Nefarious Bat Press and I are standing behind this story in a huge way. Presenting, your most immersive haunting book of 2026.

That silly little picture you generated is cranking up energy costs, hurting artists, and adding absolutely nothing to the world.

I’m going to spend the weekend reading one of my most anticipated fall books and there is nothing you can do to stop me.* *Dear universe, this is not a dare.

I’m in the mood to read something huge, like 1,000 pages, that earns its runtime. Any suggestions?

Lordy, Threads is a fucking wreck.

The confidence behind this objectively bad answer is staggering.

Friendly musical reminder that when a sound rises an octave it should be referring to pitch (high and low), not volume (loud and soft). Also, your heart cannot “jump several octaves.”

Tuesday 😈 (we can't attach music to posts here thankfully so you'll have to blast "Rainbow in the Dark" yourself 💜)

It’s a good day to fight like hell for trans folks.

@briankeene.bsky.social Just read your newsletter, Brian, and I’m so sorry, man. More than unfair, it’s unreasonable for small businesses to be put in this position so people with too much money and not enough experience with real hardship can line their pockets.

Spooktastic kicks off at 11:00. Come on down.

Packed up and off to Spooktastic Book Fair in Framingham, MA with copies of all my titles, and a few extras to get signed because, hey, I’m a fan, too. If you’re anywhere near New England, this is worth the trip.

If teachers are going to be held to higher standards for expressing their opinions on social media than politicians, maybe the pay should be commensurate.

The first print run for THE END IN ALL BEGINNINGS was in 2014. It was a Stoker finalist in 2015. Now, ten years later, @badhandbooks.bsky.social puts out out a fantastic new edition. If you haven't read it, I invite you to see what's kept it going for than a decade now. a.co/d/6iKyS7H

September 9th is an embarrassment of riches in horror. Treat yourself to some new books from Katherine Silva, Rachel Harrison, Clay McLeod Chapman, Neil Sharpson, Keith Rosson, and Eric LaRocca!

The happiest of release days to @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social and her brand new novel, Where the Soul Goes. One of my most anticipated books of the fall.

We're celebrating the release of Where The Soul Goes tomorrow! We're talking food, cooking, death, 80's music, asexuality and more! @amandaheadlee.bsky.social will be hanging out. Some other friends may show up, too! Come and hang out with us for a while! 8 PM EST! www.youtube.com/live/6tNnZKh...

The Denizens is out 02.17.26. Let me decimate you, resurrect you, then do it all over again.

You heard the man. Grab the book, let me decimate you. Let me resurrect you. Let me do it again.

I really can't recommend HORROR FOR WEENIES enough. It's as inviting and welcoming as the title makes it sound, but Emily's prose has serious teeth, and she has the rare gift of helping others build and interrogate their taste by sharing and expanding on her own.

Hey, fun fact, if you have a kid who has perfect pitch, they can tell you what music note corresponds with their own farts.

I got a big old stack of books, stickers, and bookmarks from Renee S. DeCamillis in the mail the other day and I’m sharing its glory with you now. Diving in immediately.

I waited entirely too long to dive into Horror for Weenies by @emilyhughes.bsky.social, but I’m remedying that now and having the best time with it.

I’ve really enjoyed this new collection from @haileypiperfights.bsky.social , and I’m about to revisit Benny Rose for the first time in years, but for now I am head over heels about the story “The Many Sins of Clara Greenstone”. 🖤🖤🖤

It’s worth reminding authors that if you slap an AI cover on your book, some people will assume your words are AI-generated, as well, and your counter argument won’t have much of a leg to stand on.

Thanks Gabino! The ebook for The Unkillable Frank Lightning has been reduced to $7.99. Please check it out and help spread the word!! For fans of Frankenstein, black magic, broken characters, and bloody murder. www.amazon.com/Unkillable-F...

Ahhhh! My new vampire novel, COFFIN MOON, comes out Tuesday! bookshop.org/p/books/coff...

This is my ambitious, exhilarating, and utterly insane tour schedule for the fall, gearing up for the release (and beyond!) of How to Fake a Haunting.

It’s hard to believe this book is 3 years old today. It’s been a wild ride with Rory and Alice and we ain’t done yet, Hoss.

Excited to share the dates for my upcoming US tour to promote THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE. For more details on each event, or to preorder a signed copy of the novel, please visit my tour page: pfracassi.com/blog/the-aut... @torbooks.bsky.social

The September issue of Postcards From the Falls landed in email inboxes this morning. To get your fix of spooky fall events and cute puppy pictures, go on and take a gander. (🔗⬇️)

Fans of this series will know I always include an “after credits scene.” A short bonus chapter after the acknowledgments that adds just a little something extra or teases the next story. I’ve had a few early readers of Song Dogs reach out to say this is their favorite of them all.

He's part of Team Bat - but more than that, @brennanlafaro.bsky.social is very good people And medical debt shouldn't exist, full stop So, if you'd like to help him and his partner Aron through a very tough time - check out the link below

It's September 1st, so that means a new Corey's Stories out to your inboxes! Want to check out my latest post with @thomasha.bsky.social's top five story recs in it? And a few of my own recs for @sarahpinsker.bsky.social's work? And a new story??? coreys-stories.beehiiv.com/p/corey-s-st...

The temptation to make this month’s newsletter nothing but pet pictures in order to make the world a better place is real.

Good news. 2113 by Coheed and Cambria still slaps just as hard as it did two decades ago.

02.17.26

It was so cool to meet @scumbelievable.bsky.social last night and hear her in conversation the amazing @emilyhughes.bsky.social. Black Flame is a vicious book that packs an unreal amount of misery and gross into its 200 page beating heart. Thanks to @vampireslibrary.bsky.social for organizing.

In my ancient horror grief era. Come get in on this.

Convincing you to read the first book of my vampire horror series based on a scene I drew myself. Please share 😊 #readersofbluesky #horror #vampires

Sometimes it feels so good to remember that there’s a reader who loved my work enough to get a tattoo inspired by it.

Thank you so much to everyone who has picked up a copy of The Denizens so far. You’ve got me hanging out with horror royalty @pfracassi.bsky.social over here.
