I rewatched The Black Phone last night prior to Black Phone 2’s release. I loved the film Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social made based off @joe-hill.bsky.social’s short story. Excited to see what the second movie brings! youtu.be/DdR-gzFZoDk?...

I really enjoy a good sci-fi/horror mash-up and Mason Coile’s upcoming “Exhiles” is just that. If you’re ready to bring the scares to Mars, pick this one up in September!

I recently rewatched a favorite movie of mine. I’m a sucker for a good coming-of-age story and this one from 2013 doesn’t disappoint. It has some humor, a bit of a romance, and strained family dynamics. The cast is great. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it and a good summer film.

Attended another awesome Stephen Graham Jones event. @sgj.bsky.social always provides some great insights, whether that’s in writing, horror, there’s something great to take home with you, along with his latest novel. “The Buffalo Hunter Hunter” is a splendid addition to Stephen’s catalog!

one of the coolest covers I've been lucky enough to get. coming July 15th, from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Killer...

one-style flip-book, meaning: two novels in one, bother oriented opposite the other, so their ends meet in the middle. make sense? it's The Babysitter Lives, finally IN PRINT, and Killer on the Road, a new one. Babysitter has a giant spider crawling from a tear in the cover bisecting the house, and that tear crosses the spine over onto Killer, where it's revealed it's a small CAR making that gash in the paper. On the Killer side, it's revealing that the girl's face has a skull underneath. pretty cool stuff.

First read of the year was a good one! If you like thriller/suspense novels, pick this up on January 28th. I loved the premise. Poe is a great protagonist and squares off against one creepy villain. Carter delivers another twisty plot that keeps you turning pages late into the night.

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.
