Had a great time laughing myself hoarse in a haunted house, watching @pfracassi.bsky.social scream JUMPING JESUS CHRISTMAS every time something marginally surprising happened 🤣 @sgj.bsky.social got story ideas, but no frights, I’m pretty sure.

Writer dude standing in a three-hour line. His teeth, for some reason, practically incandescent (suspect it was the mints I chewing?).
Fear Factory in SLC last night. Great haunt. Started with my teeth. Pic by @pfracassi.bsky.social

Really enjoyed @pfracassi.bsky.social 's Q&A. I have Boys in the Valley at home, & I'm looking forward to reading his latest, The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre. He mentioned during his book signing that he might be visiting a haunted house tonight. I really hope he does! 😁

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 Rosie is convinced there’s a killer on the loose in the retirement home. Time for the oldies to have a slasher in their midst! @pfracassi.bsky.social perfect book after night shifts promising dark giggles and maybe some detective work?

The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre, by @pfracassi.bsky.social (pub @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is a fun and bloody slasher novel with a new twist over the group of characters, examining mortality associated with age.

Currently reading The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social - so brutal! I’m dreading who will be the next victim 🫣 I’m hooked!
Also reading The Iron Road by @davewragg.com - final book in The Tales from the Plains trilogy. I’m sad to say goodbye to Ree & Javani 😭
Awesome to see AUTUMN SPRINGS on this list of "Best Horror Books of 2025". Some great titles to check out here.
