What does cosmic horror mean for a person of color? This is the story only you can tell. Details in 🔗👇🧵

Some great company in Paste Magazine's best horror of the year Honorable Mentions! @sobelobooks.bsky.social

Next book incoming... DEAD FIRST is a supernatural horror novel mixed with detective noir, a combo I've been in love with since I watched Angel Heart when I was far too young. Coming to you via @putnambooks.bsky.social and Daphne Durham.

“Indiana Death Song,” the opening novella of this collection, blows the doors off the joint. It’s a huge statement piece: @fuckmaxbooth.bsky.social is here to stay. @apocalypseparty.bsky.social

I made this Horror Community Starter pack with established horror creators - and I still have plenty of people to add. (Stephen King isn't even on mine yet - but he doesn't post.) I've seen other horror lists that also include new and aspiring horror creators, horror fans, etc. go.bsky.app/PQ5bTBw

This Latinx Speculative Fiction Author Starter Pack has grown quite robust! So many great names and talented writers. Keep sharing and suggesting names so we can keep it growing.

Currently reading WE USED TO LIVE HERE by Marcus Kliewer. Really enjoying it so far! 💙📚

I created a Latinx Speculative Fiction Starter Pack! Feel free to share widely and recommend any names I may be forgetting! Much love! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

It's been great seeing all the positive reviews for The Devil's Promise on Goodreads and Amazon. Quite a few of them mention the ending. It was a bit of a risk, but I'm glad the surprise is resonating with readers.

The Devil's Promise was included on a list of notable 2023 books from Texas authors. Very cool to be in such great company. Link in comments.

Some great reviews for The Devil's Promise are coming in. Glad that it's being so well received. "I can't even think of words to describe how good this book is, was really not expecting to fall in love with a new series."

Huge thanks to @rzsantos.bsky.social and Austin Bat Cave for inviting me to participate in their Story Department event last night. The speakers were all fantastic and it was a ton of fun!

How cool is this? The Devil's Promise was discussed on The Morning Blend talk show, along with some other fantastic books. Link to the segment is in comments.

Had a great time celebrating the release of The Devil's Promise over the weekend. Huge thanks to @lphernandez.bsky.social for moderating the event. He did a fantastic job! Can't say enough how much I appreciate the support I've received from everyone. It means everything.

"The end of The Devil’s Promise packs a punch, and if you can avoid spoilers for this book then I suggest doing so. At this point Hurtado has proven himself to be a master of surprise twists within twists..." Big thanks to Heather T. for this wonderful review. Link to full review is in comments.

Love this excerpt from a recent review of The Devil's Promise. Erasmo Cruz, the main character, is only 17, but this book goes to some dark places.

The awesome Lydia Peever has a great review of The Devil's Promise up. From her description: "A young adult horror that speaks to seasoned fans of cult and occult horror like few can; Hurtado outdoes the first book in this series with a stellar sequel." Video link in comments.

THE DEVIL'S PROMISE is out now! Erasmo Cruz takes on a client who is convinced he accidentally made a deal with the Devil. "A wildly enjoyable horror adventure. Riveting...Hurtado has written a book that demands to be devoured."—Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio

For folks in the Austin area, I'll be one of the vendors selling books at The Highball tomorrow, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. I'll have copies of The Ghost Tracks and The Devil's Promise available. Lots of fantastic authors will be there. Come out if you can!

The Devil's Promise is almost here! @prestonfassel.bsky.social, author of Beasts of 42nd Street, had some wonderful things to say about it.

1. Celso Hurtado 2. Horror/Paranormal Mystery 3. Author of The Ghost Tracks and soon to be released The Devil's Promise. 4. Milky Ways for sure.

Big thanks to Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House, who had some nice things to say about The Devil's Promise.

Very cool that The Devil's Promise was included in Paste Magazine's 25 Horror Books We Can’t Wait to Read This Fall.

The immensely talented Gerardo Sámano Córdova had some wonderful things to say about The Devil's Promise. (If you haven't read Monstrilio yet, you definitely should!)

Sometimes I think that because @ghoulish.bsky.social wears so many hats in the horror community, his writing doesn't get as much attention as it should. Abnormal Statistics is uncomfortable and thought-provoking, as good art should be. One of the best collections of the year.

The Devil's Promise releases in just a little over a month. Over the next few weeks, I'll share some of the great blurbs it's received so far. The first is from none other than the handsomest dude in horror, @lphernandez.bsky.social.

Love this picture of The Devil's Promise. It was taken by Debra Gillis, who posts amazing book photos over on IG. If you don't already follow her, you definitely should!
