Philip Fracassi

Just read the last chapter of the WIP to my office assistant and the response is hard to gauge.

Amazing!

Welp, I just now finished what will be my last pass for SARAFINA and truth be told I found a few things to tweak.

Thanks to the kids at CLASH Books for giving me a few extra days to get it as perfect as I’m able.

Brie Larson Starring in J.J. Abrams' New Horror Film 'Fail-Safe' - HorrorFuel.com: Reviews, Ratings and Where to Watch the Best Horror Movies & TV Shows Brie Larson is starring in J.J. Abrams' upcoming horror film, and creature feature Fail-Safe, which is making its rounds at Cannes.

Old news / new article.

Hoping that FAIL-SAFE goes into production this spring. Based on my story of the same name, from my collection BEHOLD THE VOID.

Nice review here for the upcoming novel.

"Sarafina is a savage meditation on war and the terror of a world that does not care if you understand it. By blending historical fiction, body horror, and cosmic elements, Fracassi crafts a story that feels immediate yet vast."

Received final edits on the novel from my editor at Putnam--mostly light comments, paring back, and line edits.

All major structural changes were accepted--which is such a relief as it was such a weird first draft

God willing, A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE should be in your hands in spring of 2027!

Signed hardcover copies of my novel, I Scream, You Scream, are now in stock at the Weird House Press site! Link in the first comment.

Congrats! I’d love an early copy if possible.

Shut up everybody I’m rewatchkng John Wick.

The cover of THE DEVIL IN SILVER, a novel by Victor LaValle. A white bull's skull is flanked by red flowers in a spooky arrangement. The title is shown in silver letters. The authors name sits at the top of the book in red letters.

My novel about systematic evil & the need for regular people to team up & fight it is now available in the UK.

Sadly, some themes never go out of style.

THE DEVIL IN SILVER.

With a gorgeous cover and a wonderful introduction from the great @sgj.bsky.social
