Let me set the scene… Saturday, November 1st. Me and my hubs at Menards. Me in a Happy Halloween shirt. We leave the store and head to the parking lot. And there is someone in full Ghostface costume. Me: *jumps and waves* HI GHOSTFACE! Hubs: *hangs head in shame* Ghostface: *waves back*

Loved this one! Lingering spirits. Lingering memories. Lingering trauma. RATTLESNAKES in YOU LIKE IT DARKER by @stephenking.bsky.social

COVER REVEAL! Coming to shelves November 14th, Within the Black is the second in my delightfully spooky middle grade Nowhere series and perfect for readers of all ages who love monsters, robots, portal travel, and outer space.

Just gonna reread this…for reasons.

I might have just ordered two new Halloween puzzles.

I survived driving downtown to go to the courthouse for a jury summons yesterday, so today I'm taking myself to see Black Phone 2. And no, I wasn't selected, they picked a jury long before calling me up. I got to sit and read for a while and people watch, which was cool.

❤️

Put this one on your list! It's excellent!

Maybe I’ll just watch all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Just for funsies.

THIS SATURDAY! I'll be at HYSTERIUM in Ft. Wayne, IN trunk or treat selling middle grade horror INTO THE GRAY and handing out goodies!
