Recorded a proper old chinwag with my mate @scribeofhades.bsky.social We talk about sentient houses and intrusive thoughts in his fantastic WORRY BOX - and the scary basement in his own house. Tomorrow’s episode (if I can produce it in time)

Worry Box by Chris Panatier @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social #chrispanatier, #worrybox, #horror Highly Recommend! www.instagram.com/p/DcjN1N-ljW...

I had a girlfriend in high school who told me she loved me but she wasn’t “in love” with me, well I’m “in love” with Chimera Skin. So there.

Johnny Compton@comptonwrites.bsky.social · last mo.

CHIMERA SKIN is available to request on NetGalley: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book... "CHIMERA SKIN is such a wonder. An absolute thrill... invokes Vandermeer's Annihilation and Russell's The Sparrow, while giving a hard nod to The Fly."--Chris Panatier, author of DAYTIDE and WORRY BOX

Having published several books now, sometimes you can tell when one is really striking a nerve. I don't always write bangers, but when I do, they're WORRY BOX. Check out the way people are talking about it, then please pre-order. Feel like I'm shouting into the void here. :) tinyurl.com/3u4y6j2y

Thanks to Capes and Tights for this review! An author friend told me that you never really know which (if any) of your books will hit, but I feel like WORRY BOX might be one, based on people's reactions. I just need bookstores to see what I'm seeing in the early reviews. Like this one ⤵️

Capes and Tights@capesandtights.com · 4w ago

Worry Box by Chris Panatier is one of 2026's best horror stories, if not the best horror story of the year. Read our review: capestights.com/7l8 @scribeofhades.bsky.social @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

I’ve talked about how I feel I owe so much to @claymcleod.bsky.social for boosting me up when I hardly knew anyone and it’s clear that he’s doing it tirelessly for many writers. I’m sure it will all change now that he’s a bestseller and Stoker Award winner. 🤣 but as always, thank you my friend.

I was never certain what was going to happen next in this haunted house story. A tale of family, suspense, and pain, with a few genuinely creepy moments. Panatier does an excellent job of getting into the psyche of the characters. I was rooting for them all. A new fave 📚💙 @scribeofhades.bsky.social

It could be worse.
