For fans of old horror paperback and shows like Tales from the Crypt. With these 13 tales of the macabre, author J.R. Blanes beckons you to look inside a world where normality is twisted, yet terrifyingly recognizable. Take the keys and open each door… if you dare. #horrorbooks #books #readers

I apologize that I wasn't able to make it to the Appalachian Horrorfest today. I'm hoping to get to Tennessee for an event soon.

If you’re not reading @robbiedorman.bsky.social you should be. Wrap your head around this bizarre maze-like haunted house novel. A tantalizing gothic mystery that goes straight for the heart.

Robbie Dorman’s Yours Forever is a gothic haunted house story with a puzzling mystery to tantalize the mind

Vince Guaraldi (who wrote The Peanuts Song) died February 6, 1976. I was born on September 4, 1976. Coincidence or proof or reincarnation?

Listening to @keithrosson.bsky.social Crone on audiobook and reading @robbiedorman.bsky.social Your’s Forever. What are others reading for this spooky season?

This novella by @douglasford.bsky.social is sooo much fun. Highly recommend reading it. It will make your night.

I love the Split Scream books from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social. My goal is to one day be in one.

Split Scream books are two novelettes in one

Remember when writers could just be writers and marketing was someone else's job? That must've been great!
