Instant TBR: Locus presents 13 Spine-Chilling Books for October! Including The October Film Haunt! I knew choosing that month for the title instead of April or June was the right move.

There's a great interview with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social on @talkscaredpod.bsky.social . Michael discusses his new novel The October Film Hunt. I read Michaels first collection of short stories Green Pastures and can highly recommend it.

Stopped by The Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid, NY, to sign copies of The October Film Haunt. Even more special was the surprise of an employee telling me they'd recently started the audiobook. 🥰

The October Film Haunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social (pub by @stmartinspress.bsky.social) is a perfect novel for genre-loves, especially if you've been into the community and into slasher/found footage. A well paced thriller horror that is simply excellent.
