Happy Birthday Kathy!

Happy birthday Kathy! There's no better way to bring in the New Year than to celebrate you, your birth, and the sunshine that you bring into the world. We thought for your birthday, we'd invite a few fairies to the party. The problem is--not all of them we're good. In fact, within minutes they started spreading their fairy dust and things around the room started to float... *Shrug, oh well, seems like just another normal day here at the Midnight Society mansion...   To start off, I wanted to give you a special elixir. Could be poison...I guess you wont[...]

The Summer of Screams Is Ending, But the Frightening Fall Has Just Begun!

We here at the Midnight Society had a blast celebrating the Summer of Screams. Not only was there an amazing writing and art showcase hosted by our amazing founder Jolene Haley (which you can check out here), but my fellow Midnighter Kathy Palm and I live-tweeted three flicks from my favorite franchise ever, Friday the 13th! In fact, we had so much fun that we can't stop just because summer is over. So, welcome to the Frightening Fall. We'll be live-tweeting more Friday the 13ths, as well as some of our favorite '80s horror flicks, throughout the next few mont[...]

The Final Girl

How lucky are we over here at the Midnight Society that we get to celebrate two birthdays in a row?!! Today, we rented out a haunted library so we could throw a party for Amy Giuffrida! Amy is a superhero, and one of her powers is that she is always on top of what's happening with all the members of the Midnight Society. If one of us puts out a new story, releases a book, or just has news to share, she is always among the first to congratulate and cheerlead for us. She is a constant source of support for all. So Amy, we've all brought some terrifyingly awesome[...]

It’s a Monster Mash

Everybody head down to the graveyard--it's party time! Today is a very special day, because it's the birthday of my partner in crime, the Midnight Society matriarch--Jolene Haley! None of us would be here without you, Jolene, and we've brought some creeptastic gifts to show you how much we care. Jolene, not only are you an amazing friend, but I probably wouldn't still be writing if it weren't for you. I'm extra lucky, because I get to write with you, which is one of the great joys in my life. And since we're getting ready to unleash our next book Haunted upon[...]

Welcome New Member Mary Rajotte!

Another spirit has arrived in the graveyard after we played a little too hard with the Ouiji board that Faith brought to our last meeting. We regret that we killed Mary but only a little because she's a delightful spirit to add to our bunch. Mary actually already has a post live, because she's cool like that, but just in case you don't already know her, here's a little bit more about her. ***** Welcome Mary! Colonies of bats across Canada left their bell towers with a mournful flourish the day Mary Rajotte passed from this earth. Her Cancerian nature lent h[...]

Happy Happy Birthday Kathy!!!!

Happy happy birthday Kathy! The spirit and the fairies are swirling and dancing around, celebrating you out in the graveyard as we speak. They mentioned something about the curse being broken with this birthday, but I'm not entirely sure what that means. We love Kathy for so many reasons. For one, she's the GIF queen. Don't believe me? Follow her on Twitter (you're welcome in advance). She's also an incredible writer. You can read her free scary story Crimson Reality here, you can follow her blog, and you can add her upcoming novel DOORS on Goodreads. The s[...]
