How lucky are we that we get to tell stories? That we get to build these little worlds and populate them all these problem-riddled people to see what they do, how they persevere, how they hold fast hope.

With the sequel on the horizon, it’s about time I paid another visit to Fear County. Ronald Kelly is a gift to the genre and this is his quintessential work.

August seems like a good month to tell the world more about The Denizens, my 2026 novel out through Nefarious Bat Press. I can tell you one thing. It’s got one hell of a playlist.

Grabbed a couple ebooks I’ve been meaning to pick up and just so happened to get them on the cheap. If you’ve got two books burning a hole in your pocket, you can get some John Lynch and Gage Greenwood, as well, though you’ll have to wait until September for the Piper.

Happy release day to Tyler Jones. MIDAS first came out in limited fashion 2 years ago, and I was lucky enough to read it. I’m so thrilled to see this book get a wide release, so more readers can discover what I already know. Tyler Jones is one of the best writers working today.

The soundtrack for this book ranges from the 1930s to 1998. It swings, slaps, and lives in sheets of sound. Every chapter has a song.

Sooooooooooon 🦇

Lukewarm take: It bugs me when someone writes an Introduction/Foreword for another author’s book and spends most of the runtime talking about themselves. It’s obnoxious how common this is.

Looking for a ghost story that will put goosebumps on your arms and send shivers up your spine? Check out a few of my favorites.

If you’re looking for dark poetry that will make you squirm and make you hurt, look no further. These collections are some of the best the genre has to offer.

Dig into a batch of bloody, sinister, and above all else, killer books.
