Major congratulations to everyone who made the Stoker’s final ballot!! So excited to see so many talented people being recognized for their amazing contributions to horror.

Not only did the thriller I’m currently reading throw in a supernatural twist at the 85% mark (when there was no hint of supernatural elements prior in the book) but it’s getting incredibly more ridiculous by the minute as the author strives to throw more twist after twist.

So I haven’t seen The Kindred (1987) in yrs and let’s just say that movies back then started unhinged from the get go and now I understand why I think today’s horror movies have slow beginnings. 😆

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Although I'm a novelist, I'm happiest to have co-authored a memoir with my late mother, Patricia Stephens Due: FREEDOM IN THE FAMILY: A MOTHER-DAUGHTER MEMOIR OF THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. My mother, the first horror fan I knew, wore dark glasses after being teargassed during a march in 1960.

First time holding one of these. Thanks to everyone who’s picked up a copy and left a review. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it, though this is me trying. To quote a great man: “I live, I die, I live again!” — Nux @shortwavebooks.bsky.social @mattseffbarnes.bsky.social

The Home by Judith Sonnet AVAILABLE NOW! In the early '60s, in a seemingly more "innocent" time, a group of teenagers were lured into a supposedly haunted house. The place on Sycamore Lane has a morbid history, but that's just hearsay and rumor, isn't it? Pick this new release up and find out!🧟‍♂️
