finished @johnlangan.bsky.social's terrific new short story collection Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions. don't really have anything pithy or smart to say, other than i very much enjoyed it, and if you are into horror and you haven't read Langan, you should get on that.

Working on Minister's Island for a summer rewired my brain. A foggy island, only accessible at low tide, with an abandoned mansion, bathhouse, barn, creamery, gardener's cabin (and so much more) once owned by a railway baron, where many died suddenly including his eldest son ... Just so you know me

A Mythos of Monsters and Madness has been out for a month! Would love to get some more reviews to boost the book's visibility. If you're interested in reviewing my book, let me know.

Feel in my bones that if there was a mysterious cabin in the woods where everyone who ever stayed was never seen again it would be a repeat #1 Tiktok filming location. And the more I think about it the more true it becomes, folks would just keep feeding themselves to it for the clicks.

Had a wonderful opportunity to talk about the novelization of In the Mouth of Madness with the Lovecraft eZine. www.youtube.com/live/mG8C16b...

Something I've been thinking about a lot, lately. You can pick it up here, if you want. I would love it if you did! ghoulish.rip/product/issu...

I named this collection ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY bc, OTOH, they're about problem women scratching against the powers-that-be (the state, society, fate) - but they're also about the consequences of power, the tug-of-war between chaos and order: the issues within authority, no matter who's in charge.

"Red Skies in the Morning," first published by Dim Shores, is about two sisters - one pragmatist, one idealist - struggling to find purpose in a world overrun by "Ring"-style chain curses. But really it's about our existence in a cold, uncaring universe, and the different ways we deal with that.

"Your Next Best American Girl," first published by Crystal Lake, is about a pageant contestant struggling with self-confidence, stiff competition, and the suspicion that her body is falling apart. My take on body horror, or rather the horror of having a body.

"Cop Car," original to this book, is about a little girl with psychic powers who's adopted - kind of - by a government agent. To be clear: this little girl is not a heroine. She's an apex predator. I've had her in mind for over a decade, and I'm so happy to be able to introduce her here.
