Q4 - CREDITS
Obviously, we’re staying through all of the credits to acknowledge the work of the artists, the musicians, the designers, the directors…etc.
#HorrorWritersChat - Shout out some of the horror creatives you admire and share what they do.
Stay around for the outro to share your work.

I am so, so grateful to everyone who has helped spread the word about this book! Thank you!!
THE EXTRA was released 2 weeks ago. In just those 2 weeks, sales have *doubled* over release day pre-order numbers! That rarely happens. All those months of pre-orders, matched in just 2 weeks...
A huge thank you to everyone who has reviewed or shared @annieneugebauer.bsky.social's debut. 💚
