Reading Damien Ober’s VOIDVERSE in preparation for next week’s book launch at P&T Knitwear and it’s so damn wild. You should totally come, if you’re free.

I sold a good amount of these this weekend at Author Con, but I still have some remaining on the online store!

Clay is the perfect model for this, obviously. #babealert

Lindy Ryan, editor and queen of creepiness, has put together a whole new batch of urban legends to spook you silly. Do you know how cool it is to be in a collection alongside (deeeeep inhale) all of these amazing authors? Vury vury cool.

My meager but mighty book haul from AuthorCon. Thanks to Nick, Atlas, Brad, Aaron, and David for sharing their stories with me… and a super special thanks to super-cool Cassandra for my contributor copy of the WITH TEETH anthology, featuring my little werewolf lullaby “the baby on the moon.”

Can we just say AuthorCon is the best? Brian Keene & Joe Ripple, every staff member & volunteer has put together something special. They let me use the bullhorn! Thanks to every reader who hung out at our table, to every author who put up with me, and to those who make horror a safe haven.

So AuthorCon started off with a bang today and I didn’t take any pictures! But I brought Jasper with me and we set up a chess set for him to challenge convention goers to play him. He’s ready to compete Saturday and Sunday… so come by and face the master blaster! #authorcon #scaresthatcare

“I’m convinced Annie Neugebauer is an apothecary of dread, an archaic chemist capable of constructing disquieting tales that attack the very fabric of my being. The assortment of stories found within You Have to Let Them Bleed are agents of trepidation, fast-moving, panic-inducing narrative narcotics that only a master craftsman of horror could prescribe.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

The great @claymcleod.bsky.social weighs in on @annieneugebauer.bsky.social's forthcoming collection, YOU HAVE TO LET THEM BLEED.

This is going to be one of the biggest collections of the year, folks. Get in on it early.

The "Undertone" trailer is badass, and I can't wait to read this cover story! Plus (ahem) this issue includes my review of the @claymcleod.bsky.social novella "Bodies of Work."
