Thank you so very much, Alma and @raforall.bsky.social for the mention in People Magazine!

There are so many wonderful authors mentioned. Please pick up their work.

Alma’s Fiend is available now as is Becky’s Why I Love Horror!
BS: I think a great place to start is with books that grapple with untold parts of our history and address both the terror of those historical situations AND the horror inherent in the fact that these real-life things were hidden from mainstream historical conversations for far too long. Oh, and of course some kind of monster or ghost is added. It's a winning trifecta of fear. Books like The Buffalo Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones, The Reformatory by Tananarive Due, Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas, and everything Cynthia Pelayo writes are a great example of this.

Still celebrating the release of WHY I LOVE HORROR by @raforall.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

My bunny, Crumpet, would like to know your why- why do you love horror? Then pick up the book and see if your answer is reflected in any of the contributors.

Cover of why I love horror by Becky Spratford, featuring a dark figure holding the hand of a much smaller person in silhouette. Book is on a blue background. Dark brown lion head rabbit.
