MY FAVORITE FINAL GIRL is now available on Amazon! This anthology collects essays from over 60 authors and horror enthusiasts on the subject of "final girls." I wrote about Sally from the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre played by the late, great Marilyn Burns. Link in the replies.

Here are some recently posted and very positive reviews of ‘You Only Need One Kidney...’ Kind words from Ryan Morgan Miller: “Really, Douglas Hackle has outdone himself. This latest novel of his has become my favorite—all of his absurdist stylings are firing on all cylinders..."

Ah, yet another summer has just about slipped away from us. *sighs* Luckily, although I’ve been informed ‘You Only Need One Kidney…’ is a great beach read, the book is also well-suited for Spooky Season, what with all its supernatural shenanigans... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

‘Only Need One Kidney…’ just reached 50 ratings on Amazon. It’s my first book to hit that benchmark. It also just hit 100 ratings on Goodreads. My only other book to reach 100 ratings on Goodreads, Clown Tear Junkies, took about seven years to get there. Kidney’s been out for < than 3 months. (1/2)

Pretty cool, huh? No? Oh. Okay. *Lowers heads, shoves hands in pockets, walks away, kicks stone* But seriously, huge thanks to everyone who’s read/reviewed/rated the book so far. (2/2)
