I enjoyed your review! I just watched Mother of Flies and loved it. It’s beautiful and sad.

Now that March is here, it means we're that much closer to the release of D.A. Jobe's book, PALMETTO BOY! This book is sure to scratch that horror itch you have. Just make sure it doesn't scratch the skin off.

This is my first T. Kingfisher book and it's up next to read. I'm excited! I just looked up A House with Good Bones and it sounds really good. Thanks for the recommendation!

#MSWL PLEASE send more sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror with "older" protagonists. If those bad asses are over 40, have "scars" earned through life experience, and still manage to "make it look easy," then I want your query. More info at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...

I surrender to the dream, my tears feeding the creeping tendrils. Brambles cover my body, growing heavy with fruit, as I sink fully into the soil.

In a recent story, my character dreams of a familiar place, and it’s comforting at first. But something is off about it, and the dream takes a darker, frightening turn.

I use dreams in my stories sometimes, to build dread and unease, and show what haunts my characters.

Hi everyone, I’m D. A. Jobe and I write horror and dark sci-fi.

I had a weird, recurring nightmare as a child of standing on a grid stretching far into the horizon with a giant wheel rolling toward me. An emotionless voice would repeat: Run. Run. Run. But I couldn’t move.

Yes! Even though they are so incredibly skilled it looks like they say to themselves β€œok let’s do this” and ski down by the seat of their pants. I just hold my breath watching them.

Hi everyone, I’m D. A. Jobe and I write horror and dark sci-fi.

I’ve loved reading (and watching) horror and sci-fi all my life, so I think I just naturally fell into writing those kinds of stories.

My favorite haunted house stories, and the ones I like to write, are about ordinary houses that are familiar, a little worn around the edges, and scary in certain light. They’ve seen some dark things.
