My stepdad had a stroke in May & with physical and occupational therapy, he’s been recovering. I’ve noticed his reading habits have decreased. So I was surprised and delighted when I gave him a copy of my new book & he refused to put it down before bed last night. Lol. The best review I could get.

Yesterday, my 24th book, Shadow Play was released into the world. Would love if you picked up a copy to share w the young readers in your life. And spread the word? It’s about a the ghost of a psychic in a haunted theater and sisters solving mysteries. About themselves. And maybe some murrrrderrrrs.

Loving Widow’s Bay? People out there posting Coastal Horror recommendations. And I remembered I wrote one of my own a couple years ago. The House on Stone’s Throw Island. Still exists as a ebook. I like it.

The cover of the novel The House on Stones Throw Island by Dan Poblocki. Silhouette of a girl standing in front of a bright moon, with a ghostly figure behind her, reaching out to touch her. Surrounded by missed and shadowy figures of soldiers creeping in the background.

An extremely famous musician came into my place of work this week and I pretended to not know him. It took everything to not mention that I named a character in my multiverse of storytelling after a song he wrote. Sigh.

My new book, Shadow Play, is about a pair of sisters visiting grandparents on winter break in a remote Catskills town where they learn of a haunted theater camp and uncover a decades old unsolved murder. And ghosts. Of course. Lots of ghosts. I love this book and I hope you check it out! 9/1/26

Love this collection of properly spooky short stories. “More Tales to Keep You Up At Night” by @danpoblocki.bsky.social weird, creepy and quirky. I know some children in Year 5 and 6 who will love this. The tales feel classic but often have a modern twist. Fab! @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

A recent observation that makes me unbelievably happy: I’ve seen youths boldly wearing full glam club-kid drag makeup just out and about. Like just chilling in parking lots and going shopping for antiques. A+, no notes.

I received notes from my editor on next year's ghost story novel, and it's so strange to read through words I don't even remember writing last year. Also, it's pretty good, if I do say so myself! Haha...
