Horror TBR - September Releases (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Horror podcaster and journalist Matthew Jackson from The Scares That Shaped Us was nice enough to help me carry the huge burden of curating a list of September releases to talk about. Matthew’s podcast has a fun theme where he interviews authors about their upcoming books, and as part of the discussion they talk about a story (a book, a movie, poems, etc.) that was foundational to them and their relationship with horror. It’s a cool way to conduct a conversation and has led to dozens of very ent
Craig Wallwork - THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO BEING A VAMPIRE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I believe it was Clay McLeod Chapman that recently said to me that if you’re going to do vampires in your story, you have to find an original way to do it.

Horror Boom StokerCon Virtual Panel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
StokerCon 2026 took place in Pittsburgh at the beginning of June, and this year I was part of the programming team. Me and my good pal Greg Greene were tasked with managing the virtual panels for the con, which was an honor and a lot of fun! We pulled together a couple dozen virtual panels that were incredible, including my own panel where me and some rock star panelists asked and answered the question: Is horror having a moment, and if so, why? This episode, I’m happy to share with you the pane
