Me, Grady Hendrix, Rachel Harrison and Victor LaValle got to celebrate the release of Becky Spratford’s WHY I LOVE HORROR essay collection at The New York Public Library with 300 people and it was genuinely heartwarming.

Thank you everyone who came and of course NYPL, the authors, and @sagapressbooks.bsky.social who all came out too.

We had a great time and @rachelharrison.bsky.social got to be our final girl!

Clay and I will make an encore performance Thurs at 7pm at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn.

Last night's panel discussion at the NYPL with Becky Siegel Spratford, @rachelharrison.bsky.social, @victorlavalle.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, and Grady Hendrix was one for the ages, all in celebration of Spratford's WHY I LOVE HORROR! I'm so glad I could be there and get my copy signed!

Listening to @brackenmacleod.bsky.social on the @badhandbooks.bsky.social podcast, and mentioning @claymcleod.bsky.social’s blurb that this is a missing book of the Bible.
1: Amazing!
2: Oops I’m inspired!
I have tales that could fit that idea, but the challenge for myself: write in biblical verse.🤔

Just got my contributor copies of FEVER DREAMS, a new horror anthology edited by Mark Morris, featuring my story “silent wounds”, from Flame Tree Press. This may be one of my favorite stories that I’ve written this year. I wanted to capture an emotion that fills me with dread: bit.ly/42v6EEJ
