Now available in bookstores and libraries everywhere! The October Film Haunt is my debut novel and a love letter to horror films and all of us who carry them in our hearts. And, if I may say so, pretty damned scary.

Sappier stuff after I visit a bookstore.

I look forward to it! I read your newsletter...when I see it among the 100,000 political fundraising emails I got that day. And I'll DM you about a signed copy soon!

The October Film Haunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social (pub by @stmartinspress.bsky.social) is a perfect novel for genre-loves, especially if you've been into the community and into slasher/found footage. A well paced thriller horror that is simply excellent.

Just finished and absolutely LOVED The October Film Haunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social. Cosmic horror cult slasher by way of found footage. Lots going on here, and all of it is supremely wicked.

Then I await your inevitable "car broke down in the fog near a crumbling castle that looks like it crawled off a haunted moor, should we go ask to use their phone" post in the future. :D

Rebecca, should we be concerned that your life is resembling fiction a little too much lately? 🫢 (And sorry/you're welcome re: losing sleep!)

One of my favorite review mentions I've seen caught in the online cobwebs so far
Creepy VHS stylized image with text: “The October Film Haunt is the most creepy, freaky, scary book l've read in a long, long while, and that is a thing of both beauty and immense pleasure, for books are magic, and the magic in this one is electric.”
