And to follow up on that, I finished the twenty-third Charlie Parker book, A River Red With Blood. What a great series and a great writer. John Connolly keeps developing his story, his world, and especially his characters. Highly recommended.

Just a little bit abrupt, but if you act quickly, you can pick up a couple of John Connolly’s wonderful Charlie Parker books on Chirpbooks. www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/t...

December 2025 newsletter: mailchi.mp/p-r-adams/p-...

Joe Hill has presented something original and dark with KING SORROW, and as he often does, there’s a definite kick in the feels that is likely to take away your breath, even if you see it coming. That’s sort of his signature. Grab a copy and judge for yourself!

I put KING SORROW somewhere between NOS4A2 and HEART-SHAPED BOX, the latter of which might still be my favorite from the author. If you like creative, dark contemporary fantasy with elements of horror, you cannot go wrong with any of those three books.

It blows my mind to see a sale like this, but here you go. Joe Hill’s King Sorrow (released in October this year) audiobook is $3.99 on Apple Books. books.apple.com/us/audiobook...

The Indie Fantasy Mega Bundle is almost over, so if you haven't gotten it yet, make sure you get around to it this weekend! itch.io/b/3409/end-o... #booksale #indiebooks 💙📚📦🪐📚

Finished up this just now. Once I got about 1/3 through I couldn't set it down. Some of the creepiest body horror, vampire horror I've ever read. The historical context adds a thick layer of sadness for everything that has gone before. I'll have nightmares about prairie dogs and big fish tonite.

For those celebrating Thanksgiving, here’s wishing you and yours the very best, whether at home or abroad!
