The only way to get Phoebe to take her face out of the grass is with a lil treat.

Emily Ruth Verona @emilyrverona.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I have thought about this a lot. Too much. If Midnight on Beacon Street ever gets adapted as a feature film, this is how I would cast it.

Instead of reissuing popular classics with new covers over and over and over again, can big publishers please put out lesser known classics? Or even more new work.

I just did a tarot reading on behalf of the character in my novel. I am by no means experienced, but have practiced a few times while writing this book. Exploring the meanings behind the cards is fascinating. My character is an experienced tarot reader and I hope I am doing her justice.

I promised my mom I'd cut her hair tonight, but after that I'm watching as much Carrie as I can fit into one evening.

I'm going to have a table at Pumpkin Spice & Everything Fright in my hometown on Friday, October 30th! I will be selling/signing copies of Midnight on Beacon Street and Shiva, plus poetry prints. My table will also have stickers and used books! Details: www.mountolivetwpnj.org/recreation-d...

It's this fella's birthday today. He doesn't really do social media, but I'm on here all the time and I will never waste an opportunity to celebrate him. Anthony has the most compassionate heart I have ever known. I love him fiercely and am so glad that we found eachother. ❤️

Here I am yesterday at Bookish Bazaar from Lost the Plot at Old Stove Gardens. I had a great time signing books, meeting my fellow local authors, and doing some witchy shopping! Huge thanks to all the book lovers who came (and also showed off some incredible fashion). It was an amazing event!

Me, a light skinned woman with wavy brown hair, wearing a deer print shirt and standing behind a table decorated with a coffin message board, tea lights, and paperbacks of my novella Sleep Alone.

I really enjoyed this one. Emily expertly portrays the inner lives of her characters and includes realistic anxiety disorder rep. I related to babysitter Amy in many ways while also having a great time unraveling the mystery!

October is the perfect time to read my 2024 debut novel, MIDNIGHT ON BEACON STREET. Here's why! 🎃👻🖤

Trying to get Phoebe to forgive me for being out yesterday. Today, we are hanging out just the two of us.

Anthony and I went to Peddler's Village yesterday to celebrate his birthday. A perfect fall afternoon.

At Lunar Faire. I just had the best conversation with a little girl about which horror dolls looked cursed and which didn't. Also I love this take on Midsommar. I'm going to call her Florence. She is beautiful and terrifying.

So...we ended up here tonight. Totally unexpected. And it ruled.

Cathy Ames as written by Zoe Kazan and played by Florence Pugh is an incredibly compelling character. Also, I am obsessed with this look.

Happy October, Pod People! To kick off the season right, we have a Horror in the Margins Podcast interview with @emilyrverona.bsky.social about her novella, Shiva, which is a twisty, psychological, speculative tale that delivers an emotional gut punch - perfect for spooky season reading!

I wanted to share my grandmother’s story but Native people shouldn’t have to share our trauma for non-Native people to care about all the ways Canada has harmed and continues to harm us.

Since I haven't found a full-time position yet, I am very eager to do more freelance work. Between cost of living and taking care of my senior dog, a few freelance gigs could go a long way. If you don't need a freelancer but can share this post, I'd really appreciate that too!

I was going to do this in October, but decided to start early because it's my favorite time of year! Between now and October 31st, my horror poetry prints are $8 each or two for $10. DM or contact me via the website in my bio to order. 🖤

It’s wild to me how often readers are engaging with female rage books and taking umbrage with the rage. You say that you support female rage but also believe in strictly legislating how it’s expressed? Look around, babe.

It turns out writing every day, even when it's just for a little bit, really does work.

Phoebe waits so patiently when I'm writing. Not when I'm doing literally anything else, but when I'm writing she gives me the time I need. ❤️

I'm going to end up watching the Lizzie Borden show, I just know it. I wish it didn't use that case though. I feel like I'd like it a lot more as a work of fiction without the association.

Sooo...it turns out that I really love having a table at bookish and/or witchy events. I had no idea I'd enjoy it so much! If you are having a NJ or NJ-adjacent fair, I'd love to sign books and sell horror poetry prints!
