Incredibly honored to share that THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE… is one of the @summerscares.bsky.social selections this year in the Adult category. Thank you to the HWA and to @raforall.bsky.social for this tremendous honor!! Very excited to be mentioned alongside such stellar authors as well ❤️

hey that's me!f

School of Screams is neatly perfect. I would have LOVED it in grade school. Hell, I love it now!

So delighted and shocked that The Luminous Dead is a summer scares book! It really is the book that won’t quit. 🥹🥰

It's Summer Scares announcement day! Are your loins girded?

DEVILS UNTO DUST was chosen to be part of the 2025 Summer Scares from the Horror Writers Association! I’m in some amazing company here @summerscares.bsky.social

We have a bunch of gems this year, first up, the adult selections.

The young adult squad!

And, of course, the middle grade selections (if you’re not reading middle grade horror, you’re missing a lot of fun).

Here’s a link to all the 2025 Summer Scares information. 📖 👻

If you haven't read Luminous Dead, I thoroughly recommend. A claustrophobic piece of gothic science fiction dancing merrily on the edge of a fever dream in the best way possible.

In celebration of National Library Lover’s Day, the @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social is delighted to announce the seventh annual @summerscares.bsky.social reading list! Find out more information about this year's selections and this amazing (and terrifying) program here: bit.ly/41jHyZi

Currently IN LOVE with Summer Scares alum and former spokeperson @almakatsu.bsky.social's cover reveal. (I didn't think the Sacklers could get any scarier but here we are.)

So pleased to help reveal the beautiful cover for @almakatsu.bsky.social's upcoming novel FIEND, out 9/16/25. Imagine if the Sackler family had a demon at their beck and call... #almakatsu #fiend www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734363...
