The Barre Incidents is available for preorder w/ @MalarkeyBooks!! Cosmic Horror with Dark Fantasy. It's got romance under the shadow of grief, and a haunted-town love letter to books like The Mothman Prophecies. Cover by the amazing Matthew Revert and preorder link in comments
Richard Matheson's new age-y novel is more grounded in Dante's Comedy in the film adaptation of What Dreams May Come, where love transcends death and Heaven is an act of creation; Hell is a prison of our own making. Robin Williams leads the amazing cast of my fave. #WyrdWednesday
I love this campaign so much!
With FEEDING THE WHEEL coming out tomorrow, I figure now is a good time for all of us to laugh about the insane guerilla-style marketing campaign I cooked up for it! I whipped up these unhinged conspiracy theorist flyers and had friends post them up all over the world🧵

I spent yesterday and this morning being torn to shreds by TO THOSE WILLING TO DROWN by @matthews_mark This book is a masterclass of grief horror. Deep introspection does nothing to slow the breakneck speed or interrupt the action. A Greek tragedy of well-researched folklore.
JABberwocky, in partnership with @zenoagency, is thrilled to announce that this summer, we will be re-issuing six titles by the Pushcart Prize, World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Bram Stoker Award-winning author @JSCarroll! awfulagent.com/jonathan-carro…
The Intermediaries by @bschillace is the most important book published this year. The history of the first institute for homosexual and transexual rights is one that everyone should know. This book fills in the gaps of history and gives us all cause to keep fighting today.
