Had a great time in Boston at the Wicked Comic Con with my dude, pulp master @pmcnamee67.bsky.social!
Got to see a bonafide anime classic on the big screen last week! Vampire Hunter D (1985) with the best dudes on the planet.

Seems like every morning I wake up screaming. Admittedly, @claymcleod.bsky.social helps.

My brand of vampires...
My first: The Bone Eater King (2017)
My latest: The Unpleasant Mister Snif (2024)
Proud thing from a few weeks ago...
I was welcomed as a guest author by a class of high school seniors. My book "Year of the Rattlesnake" was part of the curriculum!
The students had read four of the stories in the book and had a slew of thoughtful questions. So impressed and thoroughly honored!
Two weekends in a row behind the table! This time, it was Dark Reads, a newish event at @rhodeislandcollege.bsky.social!
📚 were sold, 🤘 were thrown and many sorely needed 🤣 were found!
Had a great time with @roughhousepub.bsky.social at the Dead of Winter Horror festival in Worcester, Massachusetts, this past weekend! Much Mayhem was peddled, many horns were thrown, and the drinks were as cold as the heart of winter.

Hey, I'm not one to turn away, thanks, but it wasn't me who recommended Exhuma. Haven't seen it! 😬
Really dug the other two, though, especially Oddity!
Wow, that is high praise, sir! This book wouldn't exist without those 2 Callamo Mountainsl books! Thank you so much!

So many excellent ways to enjoy THE RACK! Read it...wear it...read it WHILE wearing it!!
Thanks to editor @horrortom.bsky.social for this awesome shirt! Gotta love that @lynnehansenart.bsky.social artwork!!
Just typed THE END on one of the hardest stories I've ever had to write. This thing fought me kicking and screaming and shooting piss and vinegar all the way. In the end, I couldn't be prouder.
Sometimes, the hard fought victories are the only ones that matter. Cheers if you got 'em.
Of I win, I'll eat seven cheeseburgers a day for a fortnight.
