Go to my author page at PRH to get both of my badass SHOCK CITY books! Also my Little Nightmares comic from 2017 is there. I guess PRH owns that publisher, too? Anyway pretty cool! #LittleNightmares #ShockCity www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2067...
Restocked my store with signed copies of SHOCK CITY (hardcover and paperback). Get all caught up on TERROR before the sequel next spring! #shockcity heartshapedskull.bigcartel.com/product/shoc...
The cover of SHOCK CITY, an all-ages horror comic about a happy Frankensteinian girl and her terrified human chum. There’s a list of review quotes along one side. “HILARIOUS!” - School LIbrary Journal. “NAIL-BITING!” - Kirkus “EQUALLY CUDDLY AND TERRIFYING!” - Booklist. “ELECTRIFYING!” - Max Brallier.
Librarians have been SHOCK CITY’s best pals. I love that people can read my stuff for free! And you know what else is free? Leaving a review! If you like my book, tell people on Goodreads or social media or just scream it in your buddy’s face. It really does help! #shockcity
Review quotes for the new kids’ horror graphic novel SHOCK CITY. "FRESH, NEVER CORNY, AND OFTEN MACABRE!" -Booklist. "IMAGINATIVE THRILLS AND CHILLS!" -Kirkus
Post-Halloween blues? Continue trick-or-treating with my new comic SHOCK CITY, about an anxious human kid and his tension-filled new friendship with a manic monster girl.
HALLOWEEN IS NEVER OVER. #shockcity
Three kid zombies riding a flying shark.
A lot of cool spooky books come out this time of year, but I personally guarantee SHOCK CITY is the only one with shark-riding zombies. Out now everywhere!

A pumpkin decorated to look like Sunny Von Shock from Shock City. It is EXQUISITE.
Honestly the BEST thing that can happen to you as an author is for a kid to turn your character into a Halloween pumpkin. So beautiful! Look at those hair feathers!!!

Thank you to everyone who came to our author talk at Vroman’s! Special thanks to the two folks in the front row who smiled and nodded at the things I said. I’ve never felt less demented! #shockcity
Two kids’ horror books, IT’S NOT SCARY! and SHOCK CITY. They’re very good!
I think there should be at least 100 more adventures with these two. What do you think? ENDLESS HALLOWEEN. #shockcity #kidshorror #kidslit
A couple of photo-booth pictures of two kids making goofy faces. In the second one the green-skinned kid’s face bursts into a mass of tentacles with a skull in the middle. Good stuff!
Thanks so much to everyone who's posted a review of SHOCK CITY! Every one of those is worth at least five thousand head-bursting promo shrieks from me. You're the best!

A kid’s hand-written review of the new horror comic SHOCK CITY. It says, “Read it. Should be a movie. :) It was noice.”
I’ve seen a lot of great reviews of SHOCK CITY, but nothing will top this one. ARE YOU LISTENING, HOLLYWEIRD?? #noice

A little green monster kid lays out a bunch of delicious snacks for her human guest. Bags of slugs, teeth, many tentacled and spiked beasties, carrots with hands… Y'know, regular party stuff.
My new book SHOCK CITY is an all-ages horror comic about a freaky Frankensteinian monster kid who desperately tries to make friends with a regular human kid. Look at her putting out all those healthy snacks!

Announcement of a book signing/panel discussion about horror for young audiences. Featuring Moss Lawton, Aaron Alexovich, and Justine Pucella Winans at Vroman's on Oct. 12, 2 PM.
The spooky train keeps rolling! Directly into my favorite bookstore, Vroman's, right here in Pasadena. Hope the train doesn't cause too much terror-damage! #horrorbooks #shockcity
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing copies in bookshops. Standing up on a table is especially *chef's kiss*. #ShockCity

Becky the kid zombie, ready to party. She’s got huge spiky blond hair, a ratty ghost sweater, unhealthy blue skin, and an even less healthy attitude.
Becky is ready to PARTY. SHOCK CITY out Sept 10 (TOMORROW)! #kidshorror #zombies #comics #shockcity
A green-skinned mad scientist named Heiro. He’s got incredibly tall hair, a steam-venting metal neck brace, and a deeply alarmed expression.
Heiro is DEFINITELY not thrilled about all this... SHOCK CITY out Sept. 10!

The cover of SHOCK CITY, a new all-ages horror book coming out September 10, 2024. It's got a freaked-out human kid and a happy green monster kid meeting some tentacled Lovecraftian nightmare goo. Fun!
