Contract signed! You’ll be getting 2 more horror novels from me. Alejandra was my most personal and these are my most controversial if left uncensored. Not for spice but what I want to say about evil. The horror is relentless but there is hope. Blessed you guys keep buying and I can keep publishing!

Wearing what you want is one of the best IMMORTAL PLEASURES by @vlatinalondon.bsky.social Pub’d by Del Rey Welcome to #HauteHorrorCover - where horror book covers twin with high fashion. #BookSky #HorrorSky

#HauteHorrorCover graphic. A book cover on an e-reader - Immortal Pleasures by V. Castro, author of The Haunting of Alejandra. Illustrated with a figure with fangs posing half in shadows. They wear a black gown that bares more than it covers. Golden and green necklaces flow over their breasts to their hips. On the left of the e-reader is a strip of film featuring a model wearing a sheer and golden lamé Harris Reed (Fall 2023) gown that flows like liquid across their body and pools on the gown, allowing glimpses of the flesh beneath. The model wears a halo headdress with a sheer black veil and train.

Just posted part 2 on IG on my experience with the HWA diversity scholarship. Its not all doom. New or existing orgs should consider something like this. The reason it works is because Linda Addison is a woman of exceptional integrity.No one on the committee has ANYTHING to gain but helping others.

I'm anticipating an Indigenous-Appalachian folk horror hybrid that only someone with an encyclopedic knowledge of Aztlan/Tenochtitlan Brujeria and mythology could create. Throw in a couple flares, spice, and some White Claw into a cauldron, stir it 13 times, then print it out and I'll buy that book!

Happy book birthday, Donyae! 🎉 I got to read early and said "Fevered and beautiful. Coles writes as if her words are hunting each other, and she fills THE SUNKEN, THE ADORED with wariness, indulgence, and a sense of murder-touched grandeur. An experience to be savored." Absolutely gorgeous book 💜

We just had an eclipse and we are in eclipse season. It’s doing its thing. They’ve always been viewed across cultures and in witchcraft with caution because they are known to bring upheaval, revelations, abrupt endings,chaos. Stay grounded. Be there for others. Stay witchy.
