I got the call from @laneheymont.bsky.social this morning, but this is the first time I've seen it in print: GIRL IN THE CREEK is a Stoker finalist for Best Novel!

I have to look at it again, because it's almost impossible to believe my eyes.

locusmag.com/2026/02/2025...

To my dear terrifyingly talented contributors--look what glorious things we have wrought together. Thank you Bad Hand for always being 1000% percent behind this project and to the HWA for this honor.
Congratulations to all the fabulous nominees. And to everyone who dares to write stories.

❤️ 😃

I am honored and honestly a bit stunned that CYANIDE CONSTELLATIONS is officially a Bram Stoker Award finalist! What do you mean my little book is nominated alongside the powerhouses of Hailey Piper, Gemma Files, John Langan, and Clay McLeod Chapman?? Wild. Huge congrats to all of the nominees!

The October Film Haunt is an official Stoker Award Finalist, according to the spindly thing that found my hiding place deep in the woods. Who knew the Pine Arch Creature could grin like this! Thank you to all who voted, and congratulations to each and every artist on the full, gobsmacked ballot.

Congratulations!

Thank you and you too!!

Thank you 😊
