Hey @thomasha.bsky.social I'll be teaching your story, "The Window Boy" in my workshops this year. What a powerful, creepy, unsettling story. Loved it. The final imagery will haunt me for a long time. Congratulations, excellent work.

Just finished Incarnate by @richardthomas.bsky.social. This is the first of his books I’ve come across but won’t be the last. A thoroughly haunting meditation on the best and worst parts of humanity, along with some seriously visceral magical elements that I loved. #horror

Today is the official launch day for my fourth novel, Incarnate. This arctic horror, sin eater book has been a long time coming, and I think it’s some of my best work to date. It's inspired by The Thing, The Terror, The Giver, The Only Good Indians, and The Fisherman. www.amazon.com/Incarnate-No...

Richard Thomas @richardthomas.bsky.social · 03/05/2024

My latest blurb is out! "Richard Thomas is a major name in the horror genre, and his latest book, Incarnate, once again proves why. This is a strange, profound, and powerful tale about good and evil, and it's one that will stick with you long after you've turned the final page."
