Happy #FridayReads! If the idea of entitled jocks being literally eaten alive by a tree monster tickles your fancy, my debut novel DRYAD is for you. It's the first in a trilogy, so the more copies sold, the more likely the sequel is to be published www.amazon.com/gp/product/1...

Just recommended a bunch a couple days ago, so hopefully they'll help populate the list soon. I forget if a work still needs at least two recs to show up, but I do know each needs at least eight recs to be eligible for the Stoker Awards longlist (outside the category jury's input).

HWA friends! I notice that that a few of the recommended reading list categories are a bit short so far. The Novel category looks healthy, but First Novel, Nonfiction, and Long Fiction are looking a smidge short. Have you suggested/nominated your favorite reads from this year?

I've read several (good!) books this year that have made me say "Wow, I would have been obsessed with this as a teenager." Currently one-third of the way through THE KEEPER by Sarah Langan and it definitely falls into this category

If you could write a nonfiction book about anything film related (in-depth reviews, representation history, memoir/analysis hybrid, etc.) what would the focus be? I ask this as someone who loves House of Psychotic Women by Kier-la Janisse and Turning Japanese by Jack Ketchum

If you want to help an author, please remember to rate their books on Amazon! Everything these days is determined by algorithms, and ratings really help. (An Amazon "review" only has to be a couple of words...!) THANK YOU!! 🖤🖤🖤

Somewhere between a quarter and a third of the way through writing a novelette/novella I intend to pair with a different novella I wrote years ago. Coming of (r)age extreme horror (with a heart, I hope).

I'm almost finished reading LOST BOY LOST GIRL by Peter Straub and am very annoyed with myself for not knowing Tim Underhill and Tom Pasmore were characters from his Blue Rose trilogy, which I own but haven't read yet.

If I remember the book correctly (and the film is as close to the book as possible): - Guy's done commercials, which brings royalties - his mother has money - the apartment is rent controlled - they're good friends with their previous landlord, who probably gave them their full deposit back

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
