If I’ve learned anything from horror movies it’s that when I make a fantastical discovery in a grimoire or ancient text I have to remove my glasses so my eyes can recover. #horror

Tomorrow is the two year anniversary of Skin Thief: Stories! I'm very proud of this book. I put it together during the darkest period of my adult life. I felt very alone and friendless when I sent it out into the world and it brought me so much love in return. Thank you to everyone who's read it. 🖤

Horror author Andrew Robertson laughs while pretending to read his own short story collection. He is sitting on a patio in front of a 20-foot skeleton statue.
