Get your joy and beauty where you can.

I just read through the pdf/print version of my story in EXPERIMENTAL FILES, the Gemma Files inspired anthology. My story is very Swedish and involves VHS tapes and a 1980s kids' TV-show. You can still get a copy of the antho on the Kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wal...

Instant TBR: Locus presents 13 Spine-Chilling Books for October! Including The October Film Haunt! I knew choosing that month for the title instead of April or June was the right move. locusmag.com/2025/10/13-s...

There's a great interview with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social on @talkscaredpod.bsky.social . Michael discusses his new novel The October Film Hunt. I read Michaels first collection of short stories Green Pastures and can highly recommend it. #horrorwriting open.spotify.com/episode/4aIt...

Stopped by The Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid, NY, to sign copies of The October Film Haunt. Even more special was the surprise of an employee telling me they'd recently started the audiobook. 🥰

Watch @nathanballingrud.bsky.social and me while away a lovely Chthonica evening with @igreggreene.bsky.social and Edward Meehan. We discuss Nathan'sCathedral of the Drowned (book 2 of the Lunar Gothic Trilogy) and my novel, The October Film Haunt. youtu.be/xMdZpBlrYww?...

The October Film Haunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social (pub by @stmartinspress.bsky.social) is a perfect novel for genre-loves, especially if you've been into the community and into slasher/found footage. A well paced thriller horror that is simply excellent. Thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

All of it supremely wicked...

Probably the greatest review anything I write will ever receive. 😳🤩 Just wow. "…..the best horror novel of 2025" + a lot more. Huge thanks to Sean O'Connor at @macabredaily.bsky.social! www.macabredaily.com/articles/pap...

Watching for the 1,368th time

One of my favorite review mentions I've seen caught in the online cobwebs so far

Earnestness sometimes feels embarrassing as a professional author, but I have decided to lean into it. It's me. Thank you, everyone, for a great launch week for THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT.

Many thanks to Turn the Page! for the great little conversation about THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT. As the inaugural podcast for this novel, @jennlynnjordan.bsky.social was a gracious, insightful host as I discussed TOFH for the first time and used my almost atrophied vocal cords. :D

"Solid goosebumps" is another one of my love languages!

I'll be live with Lovecraft eZine this Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern to talk about my novel, The October Film Haunt, and other malevolent and/or fun things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lHt...

Thank you, Strangely Awesome!

It’s finally October; time for #horror movies and #books 📚📼 #TheOctoberFilmHaunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social will give you your fill of both; don’t resist. #THEFEARISREAL 😱 @stmartinspress.bsky.social Read my 5-star review at www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Down here in the South, the holy rite begins again

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

A perfect autumnal read, spooky and atmospheric for this time of year, @michaelwehunt.bsky.social's "The October Film Haunt" crosses boundaries between consciousness and fantasy. It terrifies and surprises, keeping you glued to the pages. #writingommunity #writerslift #horror #booksky #bluesky

I'm hearing nothing but great things about this novel (now available). Can't wait to read it.

I’ll be doing my first Reddit AMA today at 3 p.m. Eastern! Stop by and make me say thoughtful, malevolent, or fun things. www.reddit.com/r/horrorlit/...

For those who love broader story universes, this collection technically has 3 stories set in the October Film Haunt world, with "The Pine Arch Collection" being a very direct connection. <3

Great new book delivery day from Mariana Enriquez and @michaelwehunt.bsky.social 👌🖤🤘

Just got my copy of what is probably my most anticipated book of the year.

Talking Scared is live! I absolutely loved this conversation with Neil about The October Film Haunt, cursed media, cursed (in a different way) social media, and other fascinating, insightful, and fun topics.

"This is an absolute #mustread"

Now available in bookstores and libraries everywhere! The October Film Haunt is my debut novel and a love letter to horror films and all of us who carry them in our hearts. And, if I may say so, pretty damned scary. Sappier stuff after I visit a bookstore. static.macmillan.com/static/smp/o...

Happy release day to @michaelwehunt.bsky.social and The October Film Haunt! 🎉 Can't wait to listen to this one. 💙📚

And finally, the very first blurb I received for THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT. Thank you, @sgj.bsky.social, this lifted my spirits up on a rusted hook and slashed me open and hung me there like a cloud through the busiest, most cellophane-brained year of my life.

A change to tomorrow's THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT launch: Sadly, Andy Davidson is ill and can’t make it, with regrets. But my friend and horror-genre sibling Kristi DeMeester has stepped up for a last-minute save! Kristi writes beautiful, fierce, unforgiving fiction, so join us if you're in the area!

Can't wait for people to hear my conversation with Neil tomorrow, uncannily timed with publication day!

Dang, this blurb from @adamcesare.bsky.social. I’ve had all year to come up with something to express how grateful I am for it, but the best I can come up with is “Dang, this blurb from Adam Cesare.” But seriously, dang, this blurb from Adam Cesare!

New podcast appearance! I chatted about THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT for Howard’s Haunts on YouTube + the newly minted @cinemachords.bsky.social podcast. A great, insightful time. cinemachords.com/the-october-... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3s9x... YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkAV...

Listen to Katherine, who is clearly wise...or under the influence of a certain haunted film. Pretty sure wise is the correct answer here.
