Immensely kind of Stephen Graham Jones to bring TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS up with these fantastic slashers for its novella "Benny Rose the Cannibal King," a story about people eating the future to sate the past, and the girls who refuse to be devoured ๐Ÿ–ค

Iโ€™m thrilled to share that Iโ€™m now represented by @laneheymont.bsky.social at The Tobias Literary Agency for my gothic horror novel, THE BANSHEE OF CLAN MURTAGH, and future written works. I was blown away by Laneโ€™s enthusiasm and vision for BANSHEE and for my career, and canโ€™t wait for whatโ€™s next!

2025 Bram Stoker Awards Final Ballot The Horror Writers Association (HWA) has announced the final ballot for the 2025 Bram Stoker Awards. Superior Achievement in a Novel Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, Grady Hendrixย (Berkley) King Sorroโ€ฆ

I got the call from @laneheymont.bsky.social this morning, but this is the first time I've seen it in print: GIRL IN THE CREEK is a Stoker finalist for Best Novel!

I have to look at it again, because it's almost impossible to believe my eyes.
