Gift ideas for the horror author in your life...

heeeeeeey thank you for still talking to me

Too C-Dawg to the 1st Annual NYC Indie Horror Book Fair and had a blast. Highlights were Cormac meeting Thursday (the pup), I got a copy of the BAD RONALD reissue (which I got to blurb!), spotted Lowell Greenblatt shilling NIGHTMARE AUTOPSIES (which I got interviewed for!). Such a cool event!

Oh, your lips to Hollywood’s ears….

It’s honestly such a treat to have these mini-reviews pop up like this… Truly a pleasure to hear your highlights. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share your thoughts on Acquired Taste. Means the world to me.

The final story highlighted from @claymcleod.bsky.social Acquired Taste is my favorite of the collection: Psychic Santa. If anyone would ask me for a story that seemed it was written by Rod Serling, then this is the one. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

1/4

Psychic Santa follows a man that is making up for a mistake he made long ago by helping dead children. He works as Santa for years and dead kids have lined up every year for his help. You could easily see this as a Twilight Zone episode. One of my favorite short stories.
2/4

There's not much else to say about Acquired Taste, other than go get a copy. It's available on Audible if that's your thing; also, Happy Thanksgiving, #MutantFam 🦃. When we reflect on what we're thankful for, one of them for me is this online community. @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social
4/4

Such a pleasure to meet you in person!

This was so much fun last night! Thanks again to The Twisted Spine Bookstore for hosting us!

Now that’s my kinda bookstore. Thank you, Grim Reader Bookshop in Atlanta, for stocking WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES on your… shelves.

The Twisted Spine hosted an amazing panel for Ellen Datlow’s anthology DAY & NIGHT, featuring contributors A.C. Wise, A.T. Greenblatt and myself… and it was such a good conversation. And Steve brought me peanut butter!

(what’re the other two?)

This book in my top 3 of the year.

There’s still tiiiiiiiime

How friggin’ cool is it to find WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES on Fangoria’s 2025 Horror Holiday Gift Guide… Thank you so much for this, Angel. And who in the hell was that mystery reader at the airport?? Someone alert the TSA!! To read the full list at @fangoria.bsky.social click here: bit.ly/4r882rl
