ARC REVIEW: HATCHET GIRLS BY JOE R. LANSDALE I’m just gonna say it—Joe Lansdale is a national treasure who should be talked about in the same breath as American writers like Twain, Steinbeck, and Faulkner. His novels and short stories, …

ARC REVIEW: THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE As a reader, Joe Lansdale makes me happy. He somehow writes exactly what I want to read. To paraphrase a recent Stephen King title, I like it darker, and Lansdale always, always delivers. As a some…

Hey there! I'm in the process of putting together my first short story collection—horror, suspense, fantasy, and science fiction. Any indie publishers (or, you know, big ones for that matter) in the market for an 80,000 or so word collection? Around 40 stories, give or take.

ARC REVIEW: PUPPET’S BANQUET BY VALKYRIE LOUGHCREWE Puppet’s Banquet is a howling, discordant mind-fuck of a novella. Valkyrie Loughcrewe is a rare talent, and this is writing as raw as flayed skin, as ornately decadent as a bad acid trip you …
