Raven Hotel cover. A crow on a branch and a strange castle

Raven Hotel cover. A crow on a branch and a strange castle

Finished reading "Raven Hotel" by Chiara Catella A beautiful collection of gothic stories. I really appreciated the style and the idea of ​​a common thread. Same place (a strange and disturbing town) but different eras, from the late 1700s to the present day.

The new paperback edition of The Master of Shearhaven features a new look, revised cover copy, and emphasizes the gothic and queer aspects of the book. I'm really proud of how this turned out. Links to buy here: jonwesleyhuff.com/pages/fiction

I made the two man characters (El and Beth) & side characters (Ashford and Denys) from my gothic horror fantasy book, Echoes of the EtherStone and it looks like a sassy 90s sitcom. They’re gonna be up to ALL SORTS of high jinks—no gruesome m*rders here! #gothicbooks #BookSky #thesims #gothichorror

It’s WIP Wednesday, so here’s a snippet from the gothic fantasy book I am currently working on. 💀

She is *chonky* but I do need to rewrite a fair amount so I don’t think it’ll end up being quite as long as it’s shaping up to be… I hope 🥲🥶

When Two Stories Share the Same Ancestry — My Thoughts on Bochica I just finished Bochica, and wow what a ride through atmosphere, ancestry, and slow-burn tension. Before getting into the review, I have to acknowledge something: as the author of The Ordinary Bruja (coming November 4), it would feel disingenuous not to point out how these two books could be literary cousins. They both carry the pulse of Gothic storytelling, generational secrets, and complicated mother-daughter legacies—but they tell those stories in completely different ways.

Just finished Bochica and wow what a haunting, slow-burn Gothic gem set in 1920s-1930s Colombia. Family secrets, colonial guilt, and beautifully written tension. A solid 4-star read for lovers of atmospheric, feminist horror. The Ordinary Bruja's contemporary cousin.
