I don’t know why #horrorbooks is trending, other than there are a ton of great titles out right now, but I’m going to throw my own titles into the trend… Dead Kids Don’t Ride Bikes, Summer’s Venomous Kiss, and The Gray Man.

Been mulling over an attempt at a generational reading Guide for Horror Fiction. Something of a "If you liked this author, you'll probably like this new author". Here's some rough notes (1/2)

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

Help me out on Clive Barker's birthday. I've been pushing my publisher hard to do a big Books of Blood re-release (special edition + mass market) in 2025. So far, no interest. If this is something you want to see, retweet and amplify! @BerkleyPub @RealCliveBarker
