"Never Leaving" was @michaelshotter.com's latest read from Elford Alley this year. If you enjoy quirky and original horror tales with a touch of humor and heart, his works are definitely worth exploring. See a bit of that in his post below. 👇🩸📚💙

"Black Cat Bones" is just the latest release from Brian Bowyer that @michaelshotter.com has read and enjoyed. If you're a fan of transgressive storytelling, extreme horror, or other dark realms of speculative fiction, his works are very worthy. 🩸📚💙

"Clownshoes" was @michaelshotter.com's latest read by Candace Nola this year. In addition to being a talented author of extreme horror and other forms of speculative fiction, she is the owner of uncomfortablydark.com, and a kindhearted soul. 👇🩸📚💙

This year, @michaelshotter.com took an entertaining and thought-provoking detour into the world of bizarro fiction with Douglas Hackle's "Clown Tear Junkies." He's still trying to put his brain back into his head but he'll get there eventually. 📚💙

"Kenai" was one of the sci-fi books that @michaelshotter.com read and enjoyed this year but Dave Dobson has many others worth investigating as well, in various genres. He's also a returning SPSFC judge. Needless to say, he's a busy fellow. 🪐📚💙
