New Interview with me at TALKING STORY — possibly the most in-depth of my career. This podcast episode was a long time coming. If you’re a fan of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, THE INVISIBLE PARADE, or blackmail material — have at it. ✊🏽 cc: @jajminton.bsky.social

This is still just under five bucks for your favorite digital reading device, and I don't know why, but if I had to guess, it will stop being this price after today. So if you want creepy family dynamics and alternate reality horrors and maybe-haunted-house funtimes, THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS awaits.
