Hell yeah! CROSSROADS is crushingly fantastic. So is @laurelhightower.bsky.social! Great writer, awesome books. This is terrific news.

Laurel Hightower is the best, pass it on 🀩🀩

New Deal Announcement! πŸŽ‰ I'm excited to share that we're bringing @laurelhightower.bsky.social's CROSSROADS back into print! This book was my intro to Laurel's writing, and the story that encouraged me to reach out and work with her on our OBSOLESCENCE antho and her upcoming Killer VHS title.

I'm thrilled to have found a new home for CROSSROADS with @shortwavebooks.bsky.social ! Alan is wonderful to work with, and I'm forever grateful to Sam for giving this novella a chance, and Waylon for carrying the torch. ❀️❀️

It's been mentioned previously, but THE SMALL HOURS, my bloody, sexy, funny vampire novel releasing 6/2025 from @ghoulish.bsky.social (pre-order here: ghoulish.rip/product/the-...) was heavily influenced by FRIGHT NIGHT (1985), which is perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. For real.

casual reminder that I wrote a fun werewolf novel called CARNIVOROUS LUNAR ACTIVITIES like 6 years ago. it had a very short life with its previous publisher before going out of print and @beckylejeune.bsky.social is currently shopping the reprint rights around, should any cool presses be interested

Decided to make some buttons for ...And Out Come the Toys (out tomorrow!) I'll have them at events and as soon as I figure out how to sell my book myself, I'll add them in! linktr.ee/brandenburgdm

I hands down have always loved this novel.

This book is so much fun! Someone needs to pick it up. I know a ton of readers never had the chance the first go around!

I honestly don't know why this hasn't been picked up yet. I get it, it's a re-release. But Max has such a great voice for these type of unusual stories with limited cast and set in a small space. The dialogue is wonderful. The action is great. It deserves to be enjoyed by so many more readers.

Same!

So, before it becomes completely buried by everything else going on... My new book is out! It's called THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social! And I'll have 20 copies on hand for Horror Reader Weekend THIS Saturday, May 3rd, in Fredericksburg, VA!

Coming for you in May @feraldove.com

This DADDY'S BOY review from Jason White (@jasonwhite.bsky.social) makes me so happy. "Daddy's Boy is a crazy ride from beginning to end. It's like the more comedic side of my intrusive thoughts coming to life in book form and displayed nakedly before me." www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
