Heading down to South Carolina for the weekend. Perfect timing for Shortwave to send me some reading material for the flight: CHIMERA SKIN by Johnny Compton and DEPTH CHARGE by Tyler Jones, both on shelves this November. Nobody’s doing it quite like @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

Had a blast at #NYCC. Got to speak on a horrrormance panel with Delilah Dawson, Eric LaRocca, Laura R. Samotin and moderator Shelly Romero. Got to sign a bunch of books. Got a brownie. Got to say f— cancer with stickers. Got to see good people and feel like there’s some positive energy in the world.

Excited for the Chapman/Levin GHOST EATERS adaptation, and so many other incredible horror authors getting adapted - including tonight's preview of OTHER MOMMY from Josh Malerman's novel INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE! P.S., if you ever get the chance to see @claymcleod.bsky.social read live, take it! 🤯

The feature film adaptation of GHOST EATERS gets a little loving in the most recent issue of Fangoria, compliments of Greg Greene. It sure seems like a lot of great books are making their way to the big screen… Thank you @igreggreene.bsky.social @fangoria.bsky.social @crookedhighway.bsky.social

Bought a book: WHAT FEEDS BELOW by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne, a YA Annihilation/Descent fever dream that’s been getting such intense word of mouth, I feel like it behooves the world to listen. When this many folks are saying it’s this good, you’ve gotta give it a try. Congrats @thebuffwriter.bsky.social

Some more drops! Grab @ericlarocca.com's WE ARE ALWAYS TENDER WITH OUR DEAD, @claymcleod.bsky.social's BODIES OF WORK, @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social's SENSELESS, & @pfracassi.bsky.social's THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE for $2.99 each! #booksky #ad amzn.to/4c0Dr96

Cover for Eric LaRocca's WE ARE ALWAYS TENDER WITH OUR DEAD. Eric's name is in white on top, with BURNT SPARROW in black just below it. Black caskets line the front, alternating in up and down position, against a orange background speckled with black spots. There are also two churches in that mix, one upside down on the top left, and one right side up on the bottom right.

Cover for Clay McLeod Chapman's BODIES OF WORK. A young woman with black hair and skin that looks like porcelain holds a white and green butterfly with her hand, which is front of her face. There is blood splatter throughout the cover. The title is in red above, written like someone dipped their finger in blood and used it as the pen. Clay's name is on the bottom.

Book cover for Ronald Malfi's SENSELESS. It features a woman laying down, her long red hair falling to the floor. She's very pale, and her dress has the city of LA superimposed on it. The dress is dripping blood.

Cover for Philip Fracassi's THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE. It has an orangish background with a dark shadow of a hand holding a giant knife. Worst. Retirement. Home. Ever.

Just got my copy of SOMETHING PECULIAR, edited by Steve J. Shaw. It’s an honor to not only kickstart this new anthology of weird fiction, but to be the sole American to be invited to join in Black Shuck Books’ Great British Horror series. Enjoy my story “free little library” here: bit.ly/4w6yTFn

#Booksky Spooktacular 2026 Day 5: For anyone who thought the relationship in Wuthering Heights wasn’t toxic enough, here’s @claymcleod.bsky.social’s Devil Inside, a true horrormance about the most possessive duo you’ll ever know. Chapman knows how to make your heart pound in every sense. Soulful.

Cover of Devil Inside by Clay McLeod Chapman, depicting the silhouettes of a man and a woman, the woman with bright green horns, against a purple background. They are encircled by a bike chain and surrounded by green symbols: a skull? A meat tenderizer, an eye with a swirl in the pupil, a drill, a busted bike, a star, among others.
