Additionally wonderful things said about RAVENFIELD HALL thanks to the amazing Gothic fellow-traveler @christaqua.bsky.social "(within the walls of what has to be the best Gothic mansion in recent history)" is a quote that makes MY ENTIRE LIFE! bookshop.org/p/books/rave... #BookSky

The readings begin PROPERLY at 14:40, with @christaqua.bsky.social. There's a lot of goofing off and shop talk and intros before that.

Up next is Providence, RI, one of the many East Coast cities with a strong claim on Poe. Lyndsay Faye will be in conversation with fellow author and Poe-enthusiast @christaqua.bsky.social on Tuesday, October 6 at Books on the Square.

I could not be more pleased to have a new collection on the horizon. @shortwavebooks.bsky.social @rapturepublishing.bsky.social! More to come on this project soon. In the meantime... any guesses on the author writing the introduction? #newbook #newbooks #shortstories #shortstory #horror

The Daughters of Block Island by @christaqua.bsky.social is a terrific read that throws back to the gothic horror novels of the past but with a modern approach that heightens the entertainment. Carmen’s prose recreates the feel of those gothic novels while also being current. I recommend this book.

I wrote 6k words today. Far and away, a personal record. In other, possibly related news, my arms have fallen off at the elbows. Goodnight, everyone.

Trying to be normal at my daughter’s tennis lesson, since apparently my reputation as horror writer precedes me, but I open my laptop to get writing done, and The VVitch soundtrack immediately blares from YouTube, accompanied by photos of interconnected deer carcasses, so yah, I’m doing great.

Nell woke a few mins before the end of my 5-7 am writing session this morning, sat on my lap, & asked me to read her "the scariest part." I read her what I thought was an intensely creepy scene from the start of my new novel, to which she responded, "When does it get to the scary part?"

Currently reading 📚💙 @christaqua.bsky.social

This. Was. So. Unexpectedly. Fantastic.

Reading this again because it’s perfect.

The Eldritch Winter online reading is now archived on YouTube! Come listen to me, @casskhaw.bsky.social, Jeffrey Thomas, @christaqua.bsky.social, and other amazing horror authors read chilling tales just for you! (I'm the second reader in the video.)
