#1 NY Times Bestseller. SHADOW PLAY. MY BROTHER’S BUTT IS HAUNTED, JACKSON BRIGHT IN THE SPOTLIGHT. TALES TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT and more avail now. Podcast: OUR FIRST FEARS. (Any pronoun.)
Hey! In a few weeks, Penguin Workshop is releasing a new pb version of TALES TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT in an advent style countdown format, where the stories are wrapped up tight and you open one each night to read and countdown the 13 before HALLOWEEEEEEN!
Loving Widow’s Bay? People out there posting Coastal Horror recommendations. And I remembered I wrote one of my own a couple years ago. The House on Stone’s Throw Island. Still exists as a ebook. I like it.
Sometimes I wake up and he’s staring at me. He’s been stretching like this since kittenhood. #kitty #boop #kittystretch #cutecat
Loved finding these mint condition RL Stine Babysitter books at Sleepover Trading Company in Catskill. 3&4. I’ve read the first 2 and they’re so ridiculously great. #90shorror #paperbackhorror #yahorror
And I’m reading about mystical cats while my own mystical cat checks in on me. 🤍🤍🤍
This kitty demands pets. And is jumpy. And I love him.
An extremely famous musician came into my place of work this week and I pretended to not know him. It took everything to not mention that I named a character in my multiverse of storytelling after a song he wrote. Sigh.
Money is tight and it’s Pride and my birthday month, so I’m finally biting the bullet and making myself available for AMA video calls. I have 20 years in the publishing industry. 16 as an editor of award-winning & bestselling MG and YA fiction and now as an agent.
YESSSSSSS! It's on Edelweiss!!! Might get to it THIS WEEK!!!
Dan Poblocki@danpoblocki.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy new book, Shadow Play, is about a pair of sisters visiting grandparents on winter break in a remote Catskills town where they learn of a haunted theater camp and uncover a decades old unsolved murder. And ghosts. Of course. Lots of ghosts. I love this book and I hope you check it out! 9/1/26

I made a podcast episode! This one is with @aaronstarmer.bsky.social talking about how the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s freaked us out. We also talk up his latest novels NIGHT SWIMMING and (the newly released) YOU ARE NOW OLD ENOUGH TO HEAR THIS. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...
