Baseball is in full swing and one of the 10 tales of terror inside my collection "Behind the Shadows" is "Backdoor Breaker," where Creepshow savages the game. All-Star first baseman Jake Puzzella did a rival dirty and he's about to face retribution on a field of screams. Grab your copy today!

What a terrific signing event at Snug Books! Thank you, Ricky and everyone who came out with books already in-hand and for grabbing my older stuff. A hugely entertaining chat about horror and the questions y'all came up with were wild. Absolute blast.

Paying respects and calling in energy from the master.

What a way to round out 2024! I just got my horror short story, "Bentalou Crush," accepted for the Dread Mondays anthology scheduled for release in 2025!

Rad Christmas bits in the comic book haul this week.

Today is Yule and marks a time for inner work, facing your shadows, and cleansing negative thoughts, habits, and balancing your body. Happy Yule!

Yours is still my favorite run and I've been a decades-long Sonja fan. Smelly antisocial weirdo, THAT's my Sonja!

I have to thank Tara from my publisher, Raw Earth Ink, who went the extra mile to get "Behind the Shadows" into the market by my requested release time. Three books we've worked on together, this one has already surpassed my biggest seller thus far, "Coming of Rage," twofold.

About "Behind the Shadows" by The Bedlam Files' Adam Groves, "The stories of Ray Van Horn Jr are drafted with enormous energy and ingenuity, but what really gives them their edge is the author’s Tarantinoesque grasp of late Twentieth Century pop culture minutiae."

Aside from Fridays, Wednesdays are my favorite weekday. New comic book release day when I hit the shop with Matt Heafy's "Chaos Hour" on Liquid Metal for the ride up. I've read comics since 1978, worked in comic retail during the wild and woolly early 90s, and aim to write comics, whatever it takes.

He is doing quite well. I also enjoyed most of the entries in the Phases miniseries, especially the first two issues, with Benjamin Percy winning out. My pantheon is Egyptian, and I have been a lifelong MK reader since the early 80s. I would KILL to write a pantheon heavy MK story for Marvel.

I think MacKay has had a high octane run and I even liked the Vengeance interlude series knowing Marc would be back. MacKay is sharp, snappy and efficient. I want more Mr. Knight, but we got him in the first two issues of the new reboot. MacKay inherited a task that was bigger than him and he is

MacKay has done a solid job. The run of Ellis, Shalvey and Lemire with Wood and Bunn between remain my favorite depiction(s) of Moon Knight, and Moench, of course. I really love the Midnight Mission and his team and his romance with Tigra. Hunters Moon rules.... I think MacKay...

Totally rad homage!
