CRONE is out in a month! I gave this one 5/5* in my soon to be published @horrordna.bsky.social review. One of my fav reads of 2026. If you've never tried Keith Rosson this is the perfect intro. Existing fans are going to be slayed by it too.

AAAAAH, CRONE is out in a month! (A month and two days if you're being particular.) Can't tell you how stoked I am that this is heading out there. Book's gritty enough it'll leave silt in your coffee. Preorders help SO much. Thank you. (Photo by @bookishmarie)

Here's a recent review of mine - treat this anthology with caution, it's brutal, extreme stuff, loaded with crackerjack stories. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Horror DNA@horrordna.bsky.social · 3mo ago

10 years to the day since I reviewed my first book for @gnofhorror.com! Over the last decade book reviewing has become a part daily life & it all began with this review of Kenneth Oppel's Nest. It never stops, with a new feature already in the works. Cheers to Jim for his dedication to the site.

10 years ago, a Scotsman walked into my life, who changed Ginger Nuts of Horror in ways I can't measure. @jonezyboy.bsky.social Young Blood Library is a gold mine of knowledge. To celebrate we are republishing his very first review The Nest by Kenneth Oppel
