What are kids saying about the Middle Grade horror book INTO THE GRAY?

What lurks in the basement... SO MANY HORRORS.

Psst...I write short stories...

Thank you for a great chat! The weird and unusual is my favorite. #HorrorWritersChat

REAP, SOW by @pippinacious.bsky.social A novella that gives you hallways and doors and a feeling of being lost and confused. A story that unfolds with images, with pieces of reality. I just loved it the creepiness, the mystery, the darkness. It plays on one of my deepest fears. #HorrorWritersChat

The Nowhere Series book 3: Out of the Nothing #HorrorWritersChat

When my daughter was 8, she came downstairs upset because she lost something. I told her to keep looking. It has to be somewhere, it can't be nowhere. She came back down to tell me it was nowhere... And I decided that Nowhere was a real place...THE NOWHERE SERIES WAS BORN. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi. I'm Kathy...Kathleen Palm... And I write creepy middle grade books that deal with all the fears of childhood...there are so many. Don't worry I wrap them up in family and friends and hope. Not sure this is unusual, but I write the story from a character arc...not a "plot". #HorrorWritersChat

TODAY IS THE DAY I'M GOING TO SEE HOKUM

If I actually SIT DOWN AND DO THE THINGS... The things get done. I know... it's shocking.

Happy Middle Grade Monday! A story of searching for ghosts because of a need to connect with those who have died. Though maybe bringing them back isn’t a great idea. You will never think of ghosts the same way… WELCOME TO THE GHOST SHOW By @jwocker.bsky.social #MiddleGradeMonday

I finally remembered and was here! What a great topic today. Thank you!!!!! #HorrorWritersChat

This time, she has to let me in. Because I am dust. Because I am shadow. Because I am forgotten. I belong to this place. This place of fading memories and rotting bones. She refuses the living, but must welcome the dead. #HorrorWritersChat

I do love a good creepy forest. Where the fae play and witches wander and creatures lurk. #HorrorWritersChat

I love the pain that lingers and festers in places. Pain that continues to spread and hurt. I have a ms about an abandoned forest...that I want to rewrite... And I have an idea for an abandoned manor...that I will write. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi! I'm Kathy (Kathleen Palm) and I write middle grade horror. I love abandoned asylums...houses...amusement parks... Actually... I will take all the abandoned places...please and thank you. #HorrorWritersChat

Happy middle grade Monday!!! Today it’s all about trying to fit in and get away from something embarrassing. And ends up being about family and acceptance and that being you is better. RIDE OR DIE By @delilahsdawson.bsky.social #MiddleGradeMonday 📚🩸

Halfway through and OMG I LOVE THIS CREEPY AND WEIRD TALE! 📚🩸

Up next! Loved THE BLACK SLIDE and am super excited about this one! WELCOME TO THE GHOST SHOW By @jwocker.bsky.social 📚🩸

I had a book idea...but it was a tiny little speck...who knows if it would have grown... Well, last night I watched a movie that gave that little idea wings. It will be something!

I have an obsession with pottery. So when I was at Ball State for the art college awards yesterday…THEY HAD A SALE GOING ON! A vase that is texture and such an interesting shape. A dark and moody bowl. The most perfect little dish. I love them. So happy to support the college art students.

A super fun read! Nothing can stand against evil better than friends. THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR By @ellenoh.bsky.social Also shout out to someone else who was scared by the movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and creeped out by the little monsters in it…and also knows to call those monsters faeries.

What a fun book! Haunted amusement park is very cool. A great story of trying to fit in and learning to just be you. RIDE OR DIE By @delilahsdawson.bsky.social

Happy Middle Grade Monday! Today it’s family and friends and ghosts and the need to feel seen with A LITTLE TOO HAUNTED By @justinepwinans.bsky.social #middlegrademonday #mghorror

So we went to my in-laws last weekend. My FIL (85yo) has had health problems lately and has been in the hospital. He has never been a happy person...always focusing on the things he didn't do...how he's too old for anything...
