Read more "A Halloween Surprise: WITCHING HOUR THEATRE!"Hello, friends! Becky Spratford at RA for All was kind enough to let me share my thoughts on my new favorite television show, my favorite writer, and my favorite genre of books.

Read more "Night of Horror: Paul Tremblay and I Terrorize Virginia!"I was thrilled earlier this year when Booklist gave CHILDREN OF THE DARK a starred review.

Read more "Booklist Names CHILDREN OF THE DARK a Top Ten Horror Book of the Year!"Hey, friends. There are certain editors I really respect.

Read more "Brand-New Fiction: “A Southern Evening”"Some book covers make you gasp. Some make you whistle softly. The cover for the brand-new Thunderstorm Books limited edition hardcover version of my ghost story HOUSE OF SKIN made me smile slyly and nod my head. Because it really suits the story. You like? If you do, how about this: You can now read […]
