When your book outline includes "insert Ed Lee-esque snuff party here," you know you're on the right track.

Get in on this one, y'all.

I'd book Dio and spend the rest of the money on a voice lesson from Ronnie himself.

My mascot now has a name. Find out what it is and read a new tale of nostalgic horror in the latest newsletter: www.lucasmangum.com/p/analog-rit...

Here is everything I have in print (I think?). How many have you read?

I made Malevolent Dark's Top 10! malevolentdark.com/top-10-extre...

I will no longer pretend that LOST isn't a great show. Rewatching it with my partner reminds me that it's about the characters playing off each other, not some by-the-numbers story that wraps up neatly. It's a HUMAN show, not something an algorithm can copy.

Well, it took 7 years (almost to the date!), but we finally hit 100 reviews on the book that started it all. Yes, I'd published before, but this is the one that made people take notice.

I'm 4,000 words into my next wrestling book. Surprisingly, it's not horror - it's dystopian fiction - but I'm hyped AF!

I'm in some great company!!

My son is back into The Lion Guard, my daughter is back into Baby Shark, and I’m outlining another wrestling book. Time is a flat circle.

I found out yesterday that my buddy just sold a screenplay to Amazon. I've known him since high school, and I always knew things would happen for him - legitimately brilliant guy. On one hand, I'm surprised it took so long, but on the other I'm like, "nah, man, time's fake." Happy Monday.

I've got a new pocketbook of horrors up for preorder at the webstore. Grab here if interested: www.lmhorror.com/product/meat...

The newest story is a tale of revenge. www.lucasmangum.com/p/something-...

On this Friday the 13th, I'm sharing this essay I wrote last year in response to a scan of an old review for the first FRIDAY THE 13TH film that I found on the Internet Archive. Let me know what you think! www.lucasmangum.com/p/its-okay-i...

All I really want is to listen to vaporwave and dissociate in peace.

The best slasher movies, to me, are hangout movies. I was a shy kid and lived vicariously through Jason's victims. They were drinking and screwing and having a good time (until they weren't), while I was reading books and trying to be a good church boy.

This collection of early stories ships within the next few days from www.lmhorror.com/product/engi.... Are all of 'em bangers? Not really. Are some of them cringe? You bet! But if you're a reader who's interested in seeing how far I've come, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better resource.

New story up on the Substack. If you're a fan of my book GODS OF THE DARK WEB, you'll want to read it: www.lucasmangum.com/p/gods-of-th...

Joycelyn is a 13-year-old girl who loves horses, oldies music, and a good poop joke. She also has a life-limiting rare genetic disorder, Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia, or NKH. NKH is a terminal illness. Ladies and Gentlemen our “Scares That Care!” 2025 (“Uncle Sid’s Kid”) sick child gift recipient.

Slept in my The Cure T-shirt and woke up to look at Pictures of You.

I have completely and utterly lost the taste for alcohol. Nothing happened. It doesn't make me sicker. I just no longer feel interested in it. Am I the only one who has experienced something like this?

I finally cracked 1k followers on TikTok ... the same day a ban became more likely, so uh ... maybe subscribe to my newsletter instead?

A year ago, I made the difficult decision to rewrite BARN DOOR TO HELL from scratch. I’d say it worked out. www.lmhorror.com/product/barn...
