Now reading!!! THE MANY HAUNTINGS OF THE MANNING FAMILY by @lorienlawrence.bsky.social! I already love Gabby and Trent! Twins who are growing up and facing all the questions that come with that. Throw some ghosts in and i’m sure it will be fine.
I love middle grade horror!

These books are EXCELLENT. They are what every struggling or grieving kid needs. They are honest and bold, challenging and healing. They are what so many of needed back in the day and did not have.

We love to see our books in the wild! Here is Kathleen Palm's INTO THE GRAY at Sunbound Books in Fort Wayne, IN! The second book in the Nowhere series, WITHIN THE BLACK, will be out this fall. <3 Great for kids struggling to understand and process grief, and great for adults, too.

This weekend marks the 6 year anniversary of the death of Dutch actor, environmentalist, and AIDS activist Rutger Hauer.

One of his most iconic roles was in The Hitcher, so I wanted to honor his legacy with a look at some great hitchhiker horror stories

Here’s you hitchhiker horror recs:
