starry sky with comet. Text overlay reads: “The moon and stars were always there for her. Little lighthouses calling her home when she was lost. They grounded her, allowed a moment to catch her breath. And now, with the passing of Comet Hale-Bopp, she had another hopeful light to keep an eye out for... It was an ancient sign from the heavens that signified a new beginning, or perhaps an end of an era. ‘Everything will be okay,’ she whispered.” BLOODSTAINS BY GASLIGHT

Anyone remember Comet Hale-Bopp in the late 90s? It is quietly in the backdrop of my latest horror novel, Bloodstains by Gaslight.

Cover for Paul Tremblay's HORROR MOVIE. It's a black cover with a video tape in the middle with the clear parts that show the tape busted and riddled with spiral cracks. The tape's sticker on the front is yellowish with "A NOVEL" written in black. The title and Tremblay's name are in red.

Cover for Eddie Generous' JABALI ISLAND. It features a plane flying over a jungle towards you WHILE A GODDAMN GIANT SPIDER IS LAUNCHING TOWARD THAT PLANE. Seriusly, this big bastard is about the size of the plane. We're all doomed.

Cover for DEAD LETTERS: EPISODES OF EPISTOLARY HORROR, edited by Jacob Steven Mohr. It features two gross ass zombie hands hovering over an old-school black typewriter with round keys, about to spit out a yarn. The paper coming out of the top of the typewriter is teh book title. There are yellow candles burning bright on the right and left of the top of the typewriter.

Cover for Andy Marino's THE SWARM. It's an all white cover, with half of a cicada on the top of the page, it's wing taking up the majority of the cover. The title and Marino's name are written in red.

Bloodstains by Gaslight by Red Lagoe @redlagoe

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

One of the most compelling vampiric novels I’ve read! It is emotionally brutal and I was invested from the first page.

Crescent moon with earthshine softly lighting the rest if the moon.

Blue sky, trees. Crescent moon in distance. Telescope silhouette in foreground.

A beautiful crescent moon tonight, complete with a little earthshine.🌙

When despair and tragedy fill a person beyond the threshold of their body's ability to contain it, where will all that darkness go?

I get irritated when astronomical events are sensationized with fake photos. THIS is the "smiley face" that will be in the sky on the 25th, created by the moon, Venus, & Saturn. Still cute, but it's not like the in the images being shared widely.
