Awesome Collider article about books that should be made into mini-series. Along with tales by Joe Hill, Stephen Graham Jones, and Clive Barker, writer Michael Block chose my novel THE NIGHTMARE GIRL. He suggests Mia Goth for the villain, which would be brilliant! collider.com/horror-books...

2/2 This is horror, so there are one or two disturbing scenes, so don't go in thinking you're getting Victoria Holt, but the writing is fantastic and the story stays with you. Highly recommended.

Charles R. Rutledge@crutledge.bsky.social · 4w ago1/2 Did a reread of @jonathanjanz.bsky.social 's 'splatter-Gothic' THE DISMEMBERED. Such a well constructed novella and excruciatingly Gothic. In many ways it hews closer to Walpole and Lewis than later Victorian Gothics, and it has some great characters.

Chris B@brunnerslife.bsky.social · 2mo agoEvening #BookSky. Late dinner tonight because my wife is with my daughter at Gymnastics. I’ve got about an hour before they are home and it’s quiet. Made a gin and tonic and getting back to Marla by @jonathanjanz.bsky.social. So grateful for this ARC and my review will be coming soon.
Honored and chuffed to be included in this 40th Anniversary IT anthology! My essay examines the novel’s influence on the Duffer Brothers and STRANGER THINGS. I can’t wait for you all to read it!
Glorious new VEIL review.
SuckerPunched79🖕🧊@suckerpunched79.bsky.social · 2mo agoOh man, finished a GREAT book. Aliens, fast paced, GREAT characters loved it front to back. Only problem is @jonathanjanz.bsky.social hasn’t written the sequel yet. So if you like aliens and spooky stories and hella action and incredibly well built characters check out Veil. It’s truly incredible.
This is such a wicked article and full of awesome-looking new releases. I'm honored that MARLA is in here. Its release date recently got bumped to August, but the description in here is absolutely spot-on and killer!
Matthew Jackson@awalrusdarkly.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew at @bloody-disgusting.com, my list of must-read new horror titles in June! We've got new @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social, new @paultremblay.bsky.social, new @ceejthemoment.bsky.social, new @jonathanjanz.bsky.social, new @danielkraus.com, and MORE!

Richard Quist @rmquist.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf you like ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ horror that grabs hold & doesn't let go, be sure to pre-order a copy of MARLA by @jonathanjanz.bsky.social from @blackstonepub.bsky.social. People are dying of fright all over King's Branch, and the scanty evidence points to Marla Gorman, a recluse who rarely leaves her home!
Chicago! July 25th!
