Someone needs to interview the folks on the #StokerCon blood red carpet too. But instead of the typical “Who are you wearing?” ask “Who are you reading?” 🩸📚
Remember, #StokerCon has a virtual component, including panels and readings you won't see in Pittsburgh. You can register at www.stokercon.com.
I've submitted a second abstract—that #horror provides a kind of training in excellence that Aristotle might be proud to endorse—for the Ann Radcliffe Conference at the #HWA #Stokercon Convention in Pittsburgh.

I've submitted a short abstract, which poses a Wittgensteinian analysis of the Horror genre, to the Ann Radcliffe Conference at the #HorrorWritersAssociation / #HWA 's #StokerCon in June. I'm thinking about writing another one. For some reason I'd like to dip my toe into horror studies.

I still can’t believe Molting is a #stokerawards nominee!!! Thanks to everyone who read it and (hopefully) voted for it. Excited to meet some amazing people in June. ❤️

Heading to Pittsburgh via Detroit Metro Airport to scope out the #StokerCon 2026 convention hotel. Helps with programming planning.
So does the wine.
In this new January issue, we talk about the movie Sinners, contenders for the Oscars, and Special Guests for the 2026 StokerCon.

Looking forward to Pittsburgh next summer. I have no books to sell, no one wants to buy my art (at the moment), and there are at least half a dozen lovely people I know who will enjoy my company and that is sufficient for me. #StokerCon.

Looking back on #stokercon I just want to thank everyone for being so kind and welcoming to me. I’ve had a horrible few months in my personal life and that weekend healed my soul. It was so nice to just laugh for the first time in a while. I love the horror community so much! Thank you friends!
