Thanks, Gabino!
Preorders are up for my upcoming novel, Calliope Street.
A story that digs into the relationship between tragedy and art, love and madness, with cult movies, crazy poets, and an actual cult.

Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an exploration with the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and her death. Itβs fragmented and experimental, and the reader is asked to make connections as they read.

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR (by me, as Hazel Graves, Harper) is currently 99p in ebook!
It's a wild ride of a romcom about a funeral parlour and a bridal parlour that undergo a switcheroo...and the poor couple who have to clean up the mess. π π€ πͺ¦ π

Today I'll plug Old Habits Die Hard, a dark fantasy monk-heist novellette, in which Brother Statius must conduct a heist on his own monastery to defeat a demonic conspiracy.
Thank you, Gabino! Next week is my last in-person event of AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION book tour, so I'm still hoping to signal-boost this new release where we examine real history & ghost lore through the lens of Gothic Literature! π€ bookshop.org/p/books/amer...

THE GLASS GARDEN, by Jessica LΓ©vai. The book has a kaleidoscopic cover in green and red and is shown perched in a tree of lovely autumn foliage.
Happy #FridayReads and Happy #Novellavember!
Got this picture of my youngest playing in a tree.
But seriously, if the horror you're reading doesn't have a mysterious, maybe alive, stained glass window in it, what are you even reading?
