Too many to name but @annieneugebauer.bsky.social is one of those brilliant writers who I'm always excited to see in a collection.

Clive Barker and David Cronenberg for making the viscerally horrific beautiful.

Between Ingram and bookstore orders (thanks @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social!) we've sold nearly another 100 paperback copies of THE EXTRA today alone. πŸ‘€

You'll be hearing about this book for a while. And the next in the series, THE OTHER, is coming June 2026!

A graphic featuring a quote from the Wall Street Journal: "A nearly perfect, claustrophobic novella with a very effective countdown clock. If you have time for only one terrifying tale this spooky season, make room for The Extra."

Wow! THE EXTRA was featured today in the Wall Street Journal! With some nice words for both the book and for its author, @annieneugebauer.bsky.social!

Yay!! Thank you so much! And I’m so happy to hear it put someone in the mood for camping. Most people say the opposite and I love camping so I always feel bad. πŸ«£πŸ˜‚ Here’s hoping your trails are uneventful! πŸ•οΈ

Finally got to read this after hearing about it here, worth the discovery! Totally new genre for me I could look more into.

Besides the story, amazing descriptions of the countryside made me want to get out camping right now… obviously presuming THAT THING won’t happen of course πŸ‘» 🌳 ⛺️ 😬
