Had a great time with @roughhousepub.bsky.social at the Dead of Winter Horror festival in Worcester, Massachusetts, this past weekend! Much Mayhem was peddled, many horns were thrown, and the drinks were as cold as the heart of winter.

Just typed THE END on one of the hardest stories I've ever had to write. This thing fought me kicking and screaming and shooting piss and vinegar all the way. In the end, I couldn't be prouder. Sometimes, the hard fought victories are the only ones that matter. Cheers if you got 'em.

Wow. Highest praise from a man I respect greatly as both an author & a human. To be compared to pretty much all of my heroes feels downright insane. ------------------------------------------- #yearoftherattlesnake uncoils this November from Weird House Press! weirdhousepress.com/products/yea...

Vlad who? Here's some fascinating background on the #Abhartach! The legendary monster in the great Irish vampire flick, #BoysFromCountyHell that might have actually been Stoker's real inspiration for #Dracula . www.abbeyleixheritage.com/the-abartach/

3 vampire movies I watched this past weekend. BOYS FROM COUNTY HELL (2020) Kinda the Irish vampire version of American WW in London. Great fun! 4/5 THE INVITATION (2022) Good start but last act goes from INTERVIEW to UNDERWORLD. 3/5 SLAYERS (2022) Loud, overstylised, abnoxious & unfunny. 1/5

Oh, the finances of traditional #publishing. Aspiring #authors should have a better understanding of how it works and how much money they're really likely to make IF their #book sells even moderately well. This piece is a few years old, but it still tracks: innsmouthlook.com/2020/01/02/s...
