Deepest thanks to everyone who thought me writing about fiction over the last few years was worthwhile. I'm moving on to other things, and have written a farewell: www.voguehorror.com/books/the-la...

I loved Scurry by Seann Barbour—a slow-burn indie horror with real emotional bite. Serial killers, sentient cockroaches, and a coming-of-age story that hurts. Full review here 👇 🔗 www.voguehorror.com/books/book-r...

What if the monsters in our stories were born from real ecological collapse? I reviewed Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social — a bleak, brilliant collection of environmental horror. www.voguehorror.com/books/book-r... #HorrorFiction #EcoHorror

Yellowjackets season 3 is so full of shit. Soccer team? These are theater kids all day.

Got laid off and freaked out for a minute, but ultimately decided to keep reviewing fiction. Here's my take on Ellen Datlow's sixteenth installment of her flagship horror anthology: www.voguehorror.com/books/best-horror-of-the-year-16-review

The wolves are the door, and I've got a statement on the future of Vogue Horror: www.voguehorror.com/about-vogue-...

Not sad that the Scrivener license I purchased seven years ago is still valid.

Does anyone actually highlight portions of text and drag them to another place with the cursor intentionally?

Do you like to watch (fictional) misogynist frat boys get brutalized? This may be your next film choice: #thebystanders www.voguehorror.com/movies/film-review-the-bystanders-2024

If anyone has some good recs for horror films or books out of India, please send them my way. Doesn't have to be new.

Companion was solid, though I think it's a better film if it plays for comedy a bit more than it did. Highs and lows across its attributes. The person who approved that super-spoilery second trailer deserves so much ire.

I've literally reached out to cover artists and brought them further business because of this.

If I ever write a review title like this, drag the hell out of me please.

Got up in the middle of the night last night because I couldn't put down Hollow House by Greg Chapman. Feels like just what I need right now.

Off to see The Substance on its return to theaters because it may well be the best horror movie of the last few years.

I absolutely loved this collection. Pick up a copy and read my review while you're at it: www.voguehorror.com/books/book-r...

Watching Mulholland Drive again and again as a teenager, never quite understanding it but instinctively trusting that it was worth struggling with is a top-five formative creative experience for me. David Lynch's catalogue of work has had such an influence on how I digest and evaluate art.

The ebook of House of Bone and Rain is just $4.99 for a limited time! Every copy pushes me closer to a second contract with Mulholland, so please get you some. It’s dark and violent and weird and strangely beautiful and full of magic. Many thanks! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CP...

Proof Christi Nogle may have read one of my reviews 🤩

Edited by @patrickbarb.bsky.social, I highly recommend this insanely beautiful collection of fiction inspired by the music of Neutral Milk Hotel: www.voguehorror.com/books/book-review-and-one-day-we-will-die-strange-stories-inspired-by-the-music-of-neutral-milk-hotel-2025

I heard this place sucks a lot less than the last place. Please be true.
