It’s new book release day 🙌🏻 Just ordered my copy!

Undeniably nasty, unapologetically virtual and steeped in something best left unidentified, “Death Spell,”by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social is a writhing, pulsing and coalescing “coming-of-rage,” story for readers looking to test limits… stomachs and gag reflexes. @lordtbrffa.bsky.social

Yesterday, I flew through all 200 pages of The Haar by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social. An excellent piece of horror with a cool creature, a cast of assholes you can revel in getting ripped apart, and a fucking awesome old, Scottish lady. Lots of gore and surprising romance! #horrorlit

I have written a book, available now. Have you ever wondered what M.R. James stories could be like with added exploding bodies parts? Well, you're in luck! (What do you mean, you haven't?) I've gone for a sweet spot between classy supernatural tales and 'eew, yuck'. CW abound, proceed with caution.

Thrilled to announce my new novel DEATH SPELL will be unleashed on May 1st 2025! . This ultra-gory satirical splatterpunk madness — think John Waters meets HG Lewis — can be preordered on kindle right now, and the paperback will be available on the day. The amazing cover art is by @maciejkamuda_art

Two of my fastest reads this year, both by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social. Two tonally different thrillers, read back to back in one sitting. Apart from a few bathroom and coffee breaks, the only time I paused was when my Kindle died, and I had to dig out my iPad.

The Haar is one of the funnest novels I've read in awhile. It's Lovecraft meets Hellraiser meets The Thing. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys visceral body horror. @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social

David Sodergren streak continues. 5 books down, 5 more to go! Aim is to read all the @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social releases by the end of this year and kick off the new year with some Carl John Lee for a change. #HorrorReads #HorrorSky

I'm about 90% into listening to the folk horror novel "The Haar" by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social , and out of nowhere, the name Bianca Del Rio appears. You never know where she'll pop up! Lol

I just finished The Haar by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social, and it instantly became one of my favorite books. It's incredible. I'll be checking out more of David's work.

Here’s a handy guide to my published work so far, including my Carl John Lee titles.

Sensationally eerie Japanese folk-horror SHIKOKU (1999) may just be the most beautifully shot J-horror of the era. Part romantic melodrama, part ghost story, with plenty of chills and achingly gorgeous mountain vistas to set the longing, nostalgic tone. Wonderful stuff.

With its heavily manipulated image, J-horror ST JOHN'S WORT (2001) most closely resembles a PS2 survival horror game. I can see why some folk would hate this, but I adore the mix of point & click adventure, moody mansion exploration, and messed-up horror.

Psychotic Japanese splatter epic TOKYO GORE POLICE (2008) is like the offspring of Robocop and early Peter Jackson, a satirical sci-fi horror bloodbath drenched in spectacular gore effects. Arguably overlong, but undeniably insane, and with some truly unforgettable imagery.

Also, I have a new book out Dec 5th. Summer of the Monsters is part coming-of-age story, and part violent creature feature. I hope people dig it.

You know, I think I’d happily make the jump from Twitter to here if they posted my movie screengrabs as rectangles instead of squares, which totally ruins the aesthetic appeal of the shots. 😭

SENRITSU KAIKI FILE KOWASUGI! FILE 02: SHIVERING GHOST (2012), the second in Koji (Noroi) Shiraishi's found footage series, is part spooky ghost story, part weird cosmic horror. Two films in, and the appearance of the REPLAY screen is already inducing a Pavlovian response in me.

I loved The Haar by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 🖤📚💙

Meatball just woke up from a nap to finish another great book. My little guy loves to read some David Sodergren. Been big fans of his since The Forgotten Island came out! @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social #horrorwriter #books #writingcommunity

Fast-paced and action-packed, HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (1980) is one of the definitive early 80s exploitation horror films, driven by James Horner’s eerie score, solid performances, and the incredible climactic siege, a flesh-tearing frenzy of outrageous violence.
