Ummm, Jody gave everybody my face. Plus their own bookmarks. Plus this amazing spread inspired by my books. To say the Eastford Public Library rolled out the red carpet today is an understatement. This is going to be a tough book talk to top. There’s a TREE growing in the middle of the building!

The librarians of Eastford have heard tell of his fury. Mighty is Clay’s rage when carrots are not made as an offering. Verily, they tremble at the thought of his dietary needs.

BABY CARROT CAKE, CRAB DIP, SPORE PUNCH OH MY. LOOK AT THE SPREAD FOR MY BEAUTIFUL BOOK EVENT AT THE EASTFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY.

MADE IT

Me with Chuck!

Had an excellent time with @inkasrain.bsky.social at @twistedspinebooks.bsky.social’s Conversation With @chuckwendig.bsky.social And @claymcleod.bsky.social in celebration of the paperback version of Wendig’s The Staircase In The Woods!

(whew that’s a lot of with’s, at’s, of’s, and @‘s)

Got to converse with Chuck Wendig at The Twisted Spine tonight in celebration of the paperback edition of THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS. Always inspiring to hear him talk about his work. Lo and behold artist Francois Vaillancourt was there as well, an The Twisted Spine has copies of KILL YOUR DARLING

The cat’s outta the bag: I’ll be conversing with filmmaker Mick Garris at this year’s Salem Horror Fest. I’ve been dying to go for years now, so this is a special treat. Rue Morgue’s got the scoop right here: bit.ly/3N2BnEv

In accordance with the Bram Stoker Award rules & etiquette, I'd like to introduce 2 finalists on this year's ballot:

Superior Achievement in a Fiction Collection: ACQUIRED TASTE
Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel: SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE

If you’re an HWA voting member DM me for a copy!

hope to see you tonight

Never too late to buy a half dozen more

Holy hell, David Scott Hay, Hailey Piper, AND Eric LaRocca? Why did I not already buy this?

Sung in the vein of the Birthday Song: "Aaaand maaaany more!"

I'm "many more," and mostly I'm just super honored about it because of David's very kind words in approaching me, his obvious love of the work.

I read PSYCHIC SANTA for the first time to celebrate the release of the FEAST anthology, edited by David Scott Hay, alongside contributors Alex Gonzalez and Anna Dickson James. How cool is it to be in an anthology alongside Tananarive Due, Eric LaRocca, Hailey Piper, and so many more. Available now!

Thanks so much to the Brooklyn Public Library for bringing me into Fort Hamilton High School today. I also want to help spread the word about the BPL’s Teen Writing Contest & Ned Vizzini Writing Prize, open to all middle and high school students in NYC. A contest like this one got me started.

Where are we going on our third date? Tune in Wednesday, March 18th at 5 PM/ET to find out, only on IG Live. I’ll be announcing winners for the DEVIL INSIDE ARC giveaway. There’s still time to write your love letters to/from your personal demons!

Question of the Day: Is it genius or is it brainworms?

see you tonight
