Seth recently sat down with Jim Mcleod from Ginger Nuts of Horror @gnofhorror.com to make the announcement and to discuss this milestone of his writing career. gnofhorror.com/seth-augenst...

MANOR Resident Seth Augenstein @augenstein.bsky.social has announced his first short story collection THE GOSPELS OF EXTINCTION will be released through Lost Meridian Press on June 1, 2026. 1/2

Before the flowers begin to bloom and the giant man-eating insects rise from the Earth to take back what was theirs in the first place, make sure you catch up on MANOR’S releases from March 2026… Estate of Fright 83 | What’s Under There? by @horrordad.bsky.social | The Static Man 1/4

I LOVED IT. I know it’s a remake of a South Korean film, but Lanthimos’s version is fantastic. Make no mistake: this is a horror show…sci-fi horror if you want to get deeper. Emma Stone dominates with her performance. 1/2

Recent Media: Audiobook A HISTORY OF FEAR by Luke Dumas (2022). Repression, shame, religion, and masculinity. A toxic combination that kills. Lesson: live your authentic life, folks. Live your truth. Great cast for this audiobook version.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Women In Horror Year: Day 4 www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

With the airports and security currently in shambles, introverts can finally travel in comfort.

Recent Media: Book STRANGE HOUSES by Uketsu (2025) Where floor plans and architecture haunt the reader. I liked the premise of this Japanese horror tale…I liked its unique presentation…

Recent Media: Audiobook HELPMEET by Naben Ruthnum (2022) In the mood for some descriptive body horror? Then this will satisfy your quick gloopy fix. It’s just a little over an hour but it works so effectively that way. 1/2

One major reason I appreciate anthologies is there is something for everyone. Not every story is going to win you and not every story is going to lose you. In this case, I’m happy to say the majority won me, and I recommend you make your own stand on this if you haven’t already. 1/3

What a debut by CJ Leede @ceejthemoment.bsky.social. No limits for the most part and a memorable character who holds her own alongside Patrick Bateman and Norman Bates. I have to admit I chuckled during Lester the Cat’s vet visit and what they found inside the little critter. 1/3

My favorite movie of 2025. Nothing compares. It is a visual poem.

Everyone should listen to Holy Terrors

I have never cried when reading a script. Until now. Whew. I imagine it’ll be total devastation when I watch the film. 😭 Have you seen this film and what’d you think (without spoilers)?

Listening to a recent episode of HOLY TERRORS podcast where Brian and Pat discussed the hypothetical timeline of the Friday the 13th films, it reminded me of a hypothetical of my own. If we were to take this timeline seriously (which we shouldn’t but let’s have fun with it anyways)... 1/3

My personal favorite werewolf film, The Howling, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. For Dread, I wrote about why I think it has the scariest transformation scene in the sub-genre

This is where I post my ode to Vestron Video written for Daily Grindhouse almost ten years ago now, in remembrance of a real one if there ever was. RIP, sir✊🏼

I'm celebrating Overhated's 300th episode by giving it away! This chat between me and @crobertcargill.bsky.social is available to free subscribers AND paying patrons! My thanks to all listeners, all episode guests, and of course our sponsor @effinbirds.com. Oh, and this is the movie Cargill chose:

*me, regarding my horror fiction which is usually about lesbians having a body horror moment brought on by living in a broken society* I personally view my writing as apolitical, I don't think there's any politics in this

This is an incredible essay. Stoker nominations mark out the best of the best, and Haunted Thresholds certainly qualifies. Mo maps out the links between female grief and liminal spaces - where trauma takes you out of time and space and into the dead zones of psychological implosion.

YES! Well deserved!

Congratulations to Mo Moshaty @momoshaty.bsky.social for receiving a Bram Stoker nomination in Superior Achievement in Short Non-Fiction for her essay "Haunted Thresholds: Liminal Horror and the Psychological Disintegration of Women from Post-Partum, Grief, Trauma and Religious Fanaticism." 1/3

What Don Knotts taught me. Imposter syndrome be damned.

I was terrified of sharks for the longest time because of Jaws, so I went and wrote about how the terror over Bruce the shark is nothing but projection of the characters’ deepest fears.

“When the doors slide open, the screams escape.” All the Good You Did Not Do, by Jolie Toomajan Narrator: Eric Valdes Host: Graeme Dunlop Audio: Chelsea Davis C/W: PTSD, depression pseudopod.org/2026/03/27/p... This story originally appeared in Apex magazine in November of 2023.

In our latest episode, we dive into Ben Wheatley’s 2011 shocker, Kill List. We discuss its masterful blending of the folk horror, crime thriller, and domestic drama genres, as well as its overarching questions about justice and damnation. Tune in for fun times!

Welcome to episode 739 and the final week of Women in Horror Month. We have one tale for you, about an artist in search of his missing muse. talestoterrify.com/episodes/739-mia-cheng

Current Media: Film BUGONIA (2025) Intriguing plot brought me here.

Goofy cartoonish fun that totally plays by 1980s rules. Sometimes that’s all one needs. The Chiodo Brothers’ designs for the Klowns will always be the highlight of the film. They pull off creepy and cuddly so well. How about a Critter? Anyone?

Janz @jonathanjanz.bsky.social is so good at presenting humanity in his fiction, in this case: parenthood, loss, family relations, disability, civil unrest…all with Covid-era realism and King-like storytelling. John Pirhalla’s matching tone for the audiobook version tied it all together nicely. 1/2
