Writer. Husband. Father. Teacher. Not necessarily in that order. Author of THE MONSTER IN THE CLOSET, ECHOES ON THE POND, CATALYSTS, ALICE ON THE SHELF, and SHADOWED. He/him.
I recently finished @jlincolnfenn.bsky.social’s The Nightmarchers, an atmospheric journey of fear, heartbreak, generational pain, and loss. The novel gets under the skin and festers, much like the issues the characters face. Fenn’s writing brings the reader right in and unsettles.

The family and I went to see #Supergirl and I LOVED it! A very different movie than Superman, but very enjoyable. I think I enjoyed the movie even more than G and Pamela. Anyway, here’s me and G taking our picture next to the poster. It’s kinda our thing.

@ericlarocca.com’s WRETCH is like a bad dream. The cloying anxiety that builds because of the hallucinogenic nature of LaRocca’s writing. The ending does what phantasmagoric stories do best. A tough book on the soul but so damn good. #books #horrorbooks #horror

Friends, Christopher Golden keeps knocking it out of the park and CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE may be his best yet! Tense, scary, & rife with characters you care about, there were times when I needed to put the book aside only because it raced along so quickly I needed to catch my breath. Preorder it now!
