I couldn't be there, but last month LIVING DEATH RACE won the 2025 Splatterpunk Award for best Novella at @killerconaustin.bsky.social. Here are pictures of the award & the book, now that they are united in the same place! I was super excited to unbox it a few days ago! How cool is this trophy?

I came in 1st at a Pinball Tournament tonight at @noonwhistlebrewing.bsky.social! Paid for my beer! I got lucky, but it was super fun to meet and play with everyone. Noon Whistle has a great space and fun machines. And they are actually IN Naperville - most tourneys I've played in are 45 min. away!

"The Bloodstained Doll is a twisted tale of murder and paranoia that really amps up the tension! John Everson perfectly captures the twists and shocking violence of the giallo era of potboilers! Lots of dangerous fun!" -- Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger thrillers

The latest homage to the Italian Giallo film genre by award-winning John Everson, with nods to the sensational movies of Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Luciano Ercoli, Mario Bava and more.

When Allyson's mom dies unexpectedly, she thinks her world has hit rock bottom. But that's before she goes to live with her estranged Uncle Otto in Germany. When a child's empty casket is unearthed in the backyard during a violent storm, suddenly people close to her uncle start turning up dead. Is there a connection? As the noose tightens and murders draw closer to Berger Mansion, Allyson and her new boyfriend Andrew discover a dark truth hidden in the attic. Soon their lives are at stake if they don't discover why each broken body is decorated with a Bloodstained Doll.

A modern Giallo, building on Everson's previous homage to the stylish Italian mystery thrillers, Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds.

Cover for John Everson's FIVE DEATHS FOR SEVEN SONGBIRDS, featuring the giallo-approved black glove on the left reaching for a woman with wide eyes and mouth. She's clearly terrified, and who wouldn't be. 

There's a tag line that says SOMEONE IS KILLING THEM ONE BY ONE. WILL EVE BE NEXT? don don donnnnnnnnn (I added the don don donnnnn. That part's not on the cover. That's all me. You're welcome.)
