I'm in this article too - and what a coincidence, I recommend The Barre Incidents by @renbolger.bsky.social which is an incredible blend of various folklores in an emotionally resonant horror page-turner!

Happy Halloween! Wanted to share this awesome showcase of Chicago Horror books/bookstores. Thanks to @mrdankelly.bsky.social who puts this out yearly. ❤️ This year I wrote about The Scald Crow by @gracedalyauthor.bsky.social which is an absolute must-read. thirdcoastreview.com/lit/2025/10/...

My debut horror/comedy novel, The Scald-Crow, is out today! It's about chronic pain, invisible disability, childhood trauma, and medical trauma, but it's funny, I promise! It's also about Irish folklore, a heroic rescue cat, and a really irritating bird. There's something for everyone! 🐦‍⬛♿☘️

It was an absolute joy talking Greek mythology with the cast of #Hadestown at the National Hellenic Museum this past Thursday! 🏺🎶 With thanks to @broadwayinchicago.bsky.social for partnering with us and @emilymcclanathan.bsky.social for this great @chicagotribune.com story.

Talking about mythology in the musical ‘Hadestown’: ‘It’s a sad song / But we sing it anyway’

In a panel discussion at Chicago’s National Hellenic Museum, cast members share what’s on their minds as they tell the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
