I had the pleasure of speaking with Johnny Compton today about his craft, influences, working as an editor, and that one time in Pittsburg when Swifties were shacked up with Stokers.

Okay, bear with me on this one. It's the cover for A WOMAN UNBECOMING, edited by Rachel A. Brune and Carol Gyzander. It's very neony in color. If you're old enough, if you remember those shirts that changed color when you touched it, that's the vibe here. There's a woman looking straight ahead with a bright yellowish face. Her hands are wrapped around a pillow. It's like she might be watching TV or something. Above her, many blue hands are reaching out of a pink/red/orange background. It's quite colorful.

Cover for Nick Roberts' IT HAUNTS THE MIND AND OTHER STORIES. It's bathed in red/burgandy and a young woman stares at you. She appears to be not wearing a shirt (calm down, it's about from the shoulders up) and there's a wicked upsided down cross carved into her face, starting at the top of her forehead down to the tip of her nose, with the horizontal part going across the eyes.

Cover for Nick Medina's INDIAN BURIAL GROUND. It's orangish/red and what is that? Cream? Let's go with cream colored. The orange takes up most of the background, with a lizard in cream color, deocrated with all kinds of designs like circles and triangles.

Cover for Rachel Harrison's BLACK SHEEP. It's a pinkish cover, with a creepy ass black sheep with red eyes and goddamn devil horns. Goddamn evil sheep.

It Haunts the Mind and Other Stories by Nick Roberts REVIEW | FanFiAddict Synopsis From Nick Roberts, the best-selling author of The Exorcist's House and Anathema, comes fifteen dark tales that are as horrific as they are mov ...

WEEK 1: 1st FanFi Review!

One of the things I think Roberts is doing best here is making every short story feel big. Each one feels as if it could be a part of a larger story, like they are actually fueled by more than what’s on the page itself @spookywv.bsky.social

This collection contains my first published stories, including one I’m adapting into a screenplay, “Sally Under the Bed,” and the titular story that takes place in THE EXORCIST’S HOUSE universe, in which a trio of teens pick the wrong abandoned farmhouse for a late night party. getbook.at/ItHaunts

I just started It Haunts the Mind and that first story, Sally Under the Bed, has literally scarred me. I have a sick kid right now. I had to get up twice last night to get him some cold medicine. If jumping into bed without spilling liquid cold medicine was an Olympic sport, I would take home gold!

Happy Publication Day to LYLA, IN THE FLESH!!!
This book was both a labor of love and a love letter. I think I gave myself a two-month window to write it and finished it in 45 days. Once I entered that world, the story/Lyla took over, and you’re about to read the result. Enjoy!
