I've had six book releases so far, and tbh this is the one I'm most nervous about. Not because I don't think it's good @speculationpub.bsky.social absolutely crushed it all around. But because it's weird and raw and so unlike anything I've done before. speculationpub.com/loading-the-...

"I write now, however, not with concerns that a vampire walks beside me, but with a pressing mythological question—an academic curiosity, you might say." From "Blood Stains True" in @speculationpub.bsky.social's VAMPIRE HUNTERS anthology www.speculationpub.com/vampire-hunt...

What an honor to be on the preliminary Stoker list with @lcw.allingham for our anthology VAMPIRE HUNTERS: AN INCOMPLETE RECORD OF PERSONAL ACCOUNTS. I'm taken aback, and I'm just so excited! 😂 We worked really hard, along with the terrific authors, and I'm so pleased! All the best to everyone!

Now that we had a moment to gain our composure, Congratulations to VAMPIRE HUNTERS and everyone on the Stoker Preliminary Ballot! We are honored and humbled to be in such rad company. And thank you to the amazing contributing authors of this book for making it what it is.

Holy Shit!
