The JAB team had a great time at the launch event for THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED at The Strand✨
@victormanibo.com and @claymcleod.bsky.social discussed the journey of pivoting into horror writing, weaving colonialism into the Gothic, and... sexy gravedigging (you'll have to read the book for this one)

Last picture from last night’s Strand event, compliments of Christy. Think it’s my favorite because it shows how much fun you can have talking about books you love. @strandbookstore.bsky.social @victormanibo.com

Just want to say thanks to both Victor Manibo and The Strand Bookstore for letting me join in the fun tonight for the release of THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED, which hits shelves tomorrow. This lush gothic horror is gorgeous and grotesque and so good @erewhonbooks.bsky.social @strandbookstore.bsky.social

My next audio book will be "Wake Up and Open Your Eyes" by @claymcleod.bsky.social . From what I hear, it's perfect horror reading for the week of Thanksgiving (especially in these politically turbulent times). I'm looking forward to seeing (or in this case, "hearing") if that's true.

Too C-Dawg to the 1st Annual NYC Indie Horror Book Fair and had a blast. Highlights were Cormac meeting Thursday (the pup), I got a copy of the BAD RONALD reissue (which I got to blurb!), spotted Lowell Greenblatt shilling NIGHTMARE AUTOPSIES (which I got interviewed for!). Such a cool event!

The final story highlighted from @claymcleod.bsky.social Acquired Taste is my favorite of the collection: Psychic Santa. If anyone would ask me for a story that seemed it was written by Rod Serling, then this is the one. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

Psychic Santa follows a man that is making up for a mistake he made long ago by helping dead children. He works as Santa for years and dead kids have lined up every year for his help. You could easily see this as a Twilight Zone episode. One of my favorite short stories.

There's not much else to say about Acquired Taste, other than go get a copy. It's available on Audible if that's your thing; also, Happy Thanksgiving, #MutantFam 🦃. When we reflect on what we're thankful for, one of them for me is this online community. @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

This was so much fun last night! Thanks again to The Twisted Spine Bookstore for hosting us!
The Twisted Spine hosted an amazing panel for Ellen Datlow’s anthology DAY & NIGHT, featuring contributors A.C. Wise, A.T. Greenblatt and myself… and it was such a good conversation. And Steve brought me peanut butter!
