Top human @claymcleod.bsky.social read DAYTIDE and he had stuff to say like “what the hell?” “Holy shit” and “what even is this?” But he also gave this blurb, for which I am forever grateful.

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

Check out this fun interview I did with @claymcleod.bsky.social where we talk comics origins, horror, and Clay’s newest book: Shiny Happy People.

A youthful Invasion of the Body Snatchers type story meets sycophantic addiction horror!

Thanks, Clay! ❤️

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!
