Congrats to @natcassidy.bsky.social, @toddkeisling.com, @pfracassi.bsky.social, and @patrickbarb.bsky.social, whose titles were all named a 2025 Ingram Horror Editorial Selection today!

On a year-end list with only 23 titles, we published 4 of those titles. It's been a good year for indie horror!

It is with a saddened heart that I have decided to withdraw from attending Books by the Banks in Cincinnati this weekend (11/16).

Given how sketchy traveling across the country is right now, I can't risk another weekend of delays or cancellations for one day at a festival.

#Gothic by @pfracassi.bsky.social exemplifies what I like about his writing - smart and full of self-referential humor, gruesome imagery, and engaging (if not always likeable) characters and a thrilling plot. #BookSky ARC from #NetGalley and @clashbooks.bsky.social for my unbiased review:

So cool to talk with @pfracassi.bsky.social at Horror Reader Weekend, and to hear him cry like a demonic baby as he read from GOTHIC. (Also, everyone read Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre. It’s awesome, bloody fun!)

Just finished The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social and it’s without question the best slasher I’ve ever read. Equal parts THELMA and SCREAM. Can’t recommend it enough to horror readers out there.

THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE reads like a Giallo film written by Tennessee Williams. @pfracassi.bsky.social tugs at your heartstrings then grips and rips.
