Paperback ARC of HEX HOUSE

Finished reading this yesterday and loved it. A haunting, unpleasant fable with some serious ick factor. Reminded me a great deal of work by Priya Sharma and T. Kingfisher. Comes out next year from Titan.

Thank you!! 🙏❤️

Exactly!! I am so grateful I get to create and write each and every day. ❤️

Aww thank you so much!! That means a lot 🥹❤️

Hardcover copies of At Dark, I Become Loathsome and We Are Always Tender with Our Dead

I’m very proud of the two novels I published this year. I worked hard on these books and I stayed true to my vision. That’s what matters. ❤️

If you count a chapbook I released early in my career (which I do), and a novel I wrote pseudonymously (a football novel of all things) today marks the publication of my thirteenth novel in English. It’s called The Night That Finds Us All and is available wherever scary books are sold

CEMETERY MAN (Soavi, 1994)

A mysterious old man. A sudden and inexplicable act. And from there, a small town becomes the epicenter of violence and bloodshed driven by poisonous bigotry and hate. @ericlarocca.bsky.social weaves themes of loss and trauma against the search for an ever-absent god.

This is a graphic with the photos of four authors letting you know about the Sunday, 10/12, 2:15pm panel at NYCC in north-room 406.3.

Very much looking forward to moderating this panel at NYCC with @claymcleod.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social and @haileypiperfights.bsky.social! Although I do feel an opportunity was missed to name it TABOO BOOS.

I usually just go in and introduce myself. But sometimes my publicist will call ahead and let them know I’d like to sign stock!

A reader I met at the Saratoga Book Festival told me yesterday that my collection THIS SKIN WAS ONCE MINE upset them so much that they couldn’t keep the book in their house. I cackled and said “thank you.” 😭❤️ Highest compliment I can think of!

The incomparable creative force known as Clive Barker is 73 today.

This makes my heart sing!!! Thank you for telling me 🥹🙏❤️ I appreciate all of you!!!
