Happy October! This month has already been flying by, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of spooky fun left before Halloween! And if you’re looking for thrills and chills of the literary variety, I’m super thrilled to be doing two creepy horror events in the Pittsburgh region this month!
First up, I’ll be part of the Horror/Sci-Fi Panel this Saturday, October 19th at the Barnes and Noble in Monroeville. The panel starts at 7pm, and features authors Rick Claypool, Brandon Getz, C.M. Chakrabarti, and Jamie Lackey, along with yours truly. All the details are available on the Facebook event page here.
Then on Tuesday, October 29th, I’ll be joining Ronald J. Murray and Nelson W. Pyles at the Monongahela Area Library for Haunted Books, Wicked Words. I’ve never done a reading at a library before, and honestly, you can’t get a better literary setting than that, so I’m very excited to be heading out for this one. The event starts at 5:30pm, and you can find those full details right here!
I’m so ecstatic and honored to be part of both of these events. It will be a lot of fun seeing everyone there, so if you’re around the Pittsburgh area, head on out and hang out with us horror writers. I promise we’re not as scary as we look!
Happy reading!
Slated for an October 31st release, this is sure to be one of the very coolest anthologies of the year, and I’m completely elated that I get to be part of it! My story, “When the Nightingale Devours the Stars,” is all about birds, small towns, death cults, and outsiders fighting for their place in the world. It’s a story I’m so proud of, and I am positively overjoyed that it found such a wonderful home.
As if these wonderfully weird words weren’t enough, every story in the book has an illustration to accompany it, and as always, the artwork from Luke Spooner is out-of-this-world beautiful. My lovely, creepy birds are featured above, but you can see all the art for NOX on social media by heading over
