Finished my 1st @scribeofhades.bsky.social book The Redemption Of Morgan Bright. Great read, great Asylum story. Was reluctant at first as I am on team Oy! But Chris had me in stitches on the last DT deep dive, so now I’m on to his new one, Worry Box. Thanks @talkscaredpod.bsky.social

Having published several books now, sometimes you can tell when one is really striking a nerve. I don't always write bangers, but when I do, they're WORRY BOX. Check out the way people are talking about it, then please pre-order. Feel like I'm shouting into the void here. :) tinyurl.com/3u4y6j2y

Thanks to Capes and Tights for this review! An author friend told me that you never really know which (if any) of your books will hit, but I feel like WORRY BOX might be one, based on people's reactions. I just need bookstores to see what I'm seeing in the early reviews. Like this one ⤵️

I’ve talked about how I feel I owe so much to @claymcleod.bsky.social for boosting me up when I hardly knew anyone and it’s clear that he’s doing it tirelessly for many writers. I’m sure it will all change now that he’s a bestseller and Stoker Award winner. 🤣 but as always, thank you my friend.

I was never certain what was going to happen next in this haunted house story. A tale of family, suspense, and pain, with a few genuinely creepy moments. Panatier does an excellent job of getting into the psyche of the characters. I was rooting for them all. A new fave 📚💙 @scribeofhades.bsky.social

Just shy of a month out, my friends! Pre-order currently on sale at Bookshop! bookshop.org/p/books/worr...

Review - five stars: I wasn’t sure what to expect when starting this novel, but I was hooked immediately. Allison & Nathan find a new home for their growing family, and not long after moving in weird things start to happen.

This novel was disturbing, it made me feel so many emotions. I’m honestly gobsmacked with everything that transpired in this novel. I thought I knew what was going on, but I kept changing my mind. Honestly did not see the ending coming.

Overall, I loved this novel and read it in less than 24hrs because I needed to know what was going to happen. The house is creepy and Lailah’s intrusive thoughts just get crazier.

A ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of WORRY BOX from one of my favorite book enthusiasts and reviewers on the internet. Thanks so much, Tammy!

Worry Box is a clever take on the haunted house trope, but because it’s a Chris Panatier book, there’s a lot more bubbling beneath the surface. With short, punchy chapters, multiple points of view, and thriller-like pacing, this is a story that will appeal to horror and thriller fans alike. The plotting is meticulous, the misleads are brilliantly done, and the tension is the slow build kind where you don’t realize the hatchet is aimed at your neck until it starts to fall.

What do you do when your own mind betrays you? How do you face an impossible choice when protecting one person undermines your loyalty to another? This isn't just horror. It's a story of hope, and the dread that accompanies it. @scribeofhades.bsky.social has a huge heart and it shows in his writing.

The thing that many have said would happen, is now very much happening. The ultra-rich are satisfied enough with the work of politicians in pitting people against each other, distracting them, in order to move to Phase 2, which is their active destruction of the earth for financial gain.

It's so hard (and inadvisable for the sake of one's mental health) to read the tea leaves before a book is out, but reviews like this for WORRY BOX are proliferating. Now imagine I'm Bernie Sanders in a chair: I am once again asking you to please preorder! tinyurl.com/yz36vy32

Absolutely blown away by this book. Immediately I felt invested in the characters, esp. the Martin family, and you can' tput this down. The beginning, where we meet the Ragdales, and the inclusion of the Martin family home map, I knew this had to be good. It was so good. The use of the worry box was awesome, and there are some really grisly parts. You won't want to put it down. This was tense, mysterious and had characters you can't help but love. A very pleasant surprise. I am going to look for more by Chris Peletier and add this to my favorite books of the year list. Pre-order this....you will love it.
