When I first published a little horror chapbook called "Mother" a decade ago, I never thought I'd be typing something like this, but I'm so thrilled to share that my newest novel, THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE, is a Top 100 USA TODAY Bestseller.

DAYTIDE is up for preorder now and I sort of buried the lede on this limited edition, illustrated, horror-fantasy.

There’s an introduction by @pfracassi.bsky.social that blew the bombas right off of my feet. I’m still reeling.

So incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me and this book, and I'm equally thrilled that readers are having such a blast with Rose and all the good folks at Autumn Springs.

Huge thanks to Tor Nightfire, Copps Literary, and the folks at @kayepublicity.bsky.social for the support.

Welp, I'm about to start a 17-day odyssey that involves a lot of flying to a lot of different cities and I can only hope and pray I'm able to keep my schedule intact given the chaos happening with government-controlled airport personnel.

That said: Come see me at one of these great events!

Get your biscuits and tea, sit down in your favorite chair and be prepared to meet final girl Rose and the other elderly people in @pfracassi.bsky.social awesome book about a slasher in a retirement home. Fracassi breathes life (and death) in his characters and entertains and thrills the reader.

#WhatWereReading : Joe loved @pfracassi.bsky.social 's Boys in the Valley, so was eager for his new #horror , which is a total change of pace. Imagine the Slasher genre meets Thursday Murder Club, as a serial killer stalks a retirement community.
