Tell me a book you read in 2024 that: 1. You couldn’t put down. 2. Made you want to go write something. 3. Made you cry. 4. Made you hide under the covers. 5. Felt like magic. 6. Made you truly anxious. 7. Showed you why collections are great.
It's still a bit surreal that my story "Doppelgänger" was included in FOUND 2: MORE STORIES OF FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR! Thanks, @andrewcull and @Gabino_Iglesias, and all the amazing writers in this collection! If you haven't found it yet...It's waiting for you! 💀💀
FOUND 2: MORE STORIES OF FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR, edited by @andrewcull and @Gabino_Iglesias, gets a lot of love from @Library_Tony. This anthology features stories from @RhiannonAGrist, @peterrosch, @caleb_bethea_, @LoreKeating, @keychild, @AR1sto, & more! buff.ly/3CRHxlz
Unlike Xmas, no superstitions suggest that you need to take your Halloween decorations down. In fact, the longer you keep them up the more likely you are to ascend to the status of Pumpkin King 🎃, so there's no downside there really 🖤.
Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.
Another trip to Peter Mac today, and that means...another book donated to the Patient LFL! 📼It was awesome to be able to donate a copy of FOUND2 🖤 I hope that whoever finds our cursed book digs the found footage frights!
Look closely at the library display waiting to be FOUND... I devoured FOUND2 edited by Andy Cull & Gabino Iglesias, breathing new life into the found footage subgenre with their new anthology. Lots of other cool books on show, including Tim McGregor for my next school book club.
Look what arrived at Little Ghosts Books! 🖤👻📚 Do you love anthologies? Do you love Found Footage Horror? @Gabino_Iglesias @andrewcull have the perfect thing for you. Expertly curated, delightfully creepy, impeccably packaged, these collections are total treats. Grab ‘em now!
FOUND2 looks pretty awesome on Kindle too! We now have reviewer copies of the anthology available (in ePub format). If you'd like one, send me an email at [email protected] or DM me here 📼🖤.

October’s new horror books include a queer Black southern haunted house, an epidemic of sexual madness, survival horror in a gas station bathroom, Nigerian possession horror & much more. Thank you to @emilyhughes, full list: readjumpscares.com/2024/10/01/all…
If you haven't read NESTLINGS yet, you should! @natcassidy knows how to build tension and make it all unsettling, creepy, darkness in the best kind of way. I thank Night Worms for introducing me to it!
Looking for an urban horror novel served with a deep sense of unease and a side of creeping paranoia? Look no further than NESTLINGS by @natcassidy👶 us.macmillan.com/books/97812502…
