A ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of WORRY BOX from one of my favorite book enthusiasts and reviewers on the internet. Thanks so much, Tammy!

Worry Box is a clever take on the haunted house trope, but because it’s a Chris Panatier book, there’s a lot more bubbling beneath the surface. With short, punchy chapters, multiple points of view, and thriller-like pacing, this is a story that will appeal to horror and thriller fans alike. The plotting is meticulous, the misleads are brilliantly done, and the tension is the slow build kind where you don’t realize the hatchet is aimed at your neck until it starts to fall.

It's so hard (and inadvisable for the sake of one's mental health) to read the tea leaves before a book is out, but reviews like this for WORRY BOX are proliferating. Now imagine I'm Bernie Sanders in a chair: I am once again asking you to please preorder! tinyurl.com/yz36vy32

Absolutely blown away by this book. Immediately I felt invested in the characters, esp. the Martin family, and you can' tput this down. The beginning, where we meet the Ragdales, and the inclusion of the Martin family home map, I knew this had to be good. It was so good. The use of the worry box was awesome, and there are some really grisly parts. You won't want to put it down. This was tense, mysterious and had characters you can't help but love. A very pleasant surprise. I am going to look for more by Chris Peletier and add this to my favorite books of the year list. Pre-order this....you will love it.

"It isn't quite a haunted house story though, it's better." Hell yeah. Please pre-order WORRY BOX! (If you order from @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social, you can request a personalization from me and I'll sign/personalize!) Pre-order: tinyurl.com/d8vx2fj6

A five star review of Worry Box that says in part: I will start by saying I love a good haunted house story. This isn't quite a haunted house story though, it's better. I wont give away what is going on in this story, but I feel like most will take the change in trope with open arms.

So @comptonwrites.bsky.social is the author of one of my favorite haunted house books, THE SPITE HOUSE. It’s a career moment for me that Johnny agreed to blurb this book and so massive that he enjoyed it so much. Thank you, Johnny. Preorder: gibsonsbookstore.com/search?q=Wor...

For those of you going to StokerCon, I always recommend hitting up Librarian's Day, which goes most of the morning on Friday. I wandered in a few years ago and found it to be a favorite event. And this year, there will be ARCs of WORRY BOX, so come and listen and grab yeself a book.

Who else went feral during the pandemic?

Chris Panatier@scribeofhades· Apr 20

A few years back I rewilded part of our yard with native species. This is probably 1000 square feet. Had milkweed, bee balm, purple poppy mallow, two types of primrose, Indian blanket, mullein, yellow sweet clover, engleman daisy, white top, bluebonnets, wild petunia and more!
