Working on Stoker Con's virtual panels this year, I've met so many more creators, editors, publishers & supporters, and I'm ever more convinced, the Horror Community is the best community. Why? As @joe-hill.bsky.social says, horror isn't about sadism. "The really effective horror is about empathy."

#Coverreveal!! My story “Mother Knows Best” will be in this! ⚔️🪽 You can preorder at the link below:

Recorded the Virtual StokerCon panel "So You Want to Edit and Anthology" yesterday with this crew. Can't wait for people to see it. Thanks to @igreggreene.bsky.social for running the show. @kcgrifant.bsky.social @richardthomas.bsky.social, Kristy Park Kulski, James, Chambers, and Jamal Hodge.

My reading has been so varied this past week. Finished Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth (library book club read), @kcgrifant.bsky.social's excellent Women of the Weird West & now I'm about to dive into R.C. Matheson's Bombyx for @horrortree.com 😊 #booksky #amreading
