Today is a special day. Why? Because we're celebrating the birthday of our favorite podcaster, metalhead, and dog dad. Brian is the author of the Parted Veil series, co-founder of the Thrash It Out podcast, and a devoted lover of Mister Roger's Neighborhood. He's also an incredible, hilarious, brilliant human that makes this world a better place. To celebrate, we're throwing you a spooky metal party, headlined by none other than one of your favorites. It would make sense that our party in the graveyard would be led by Ghost! https://www.youtube.com/watc[...]

0 Today is a special day. Why? Because Brian LeTendre was born today! Thank goodness! You know him as an 80's hair metal aficionado, master podcaster, incredible author, and all around good guy. How are we celebrating? With a good, ole monster party! That's how! To kick off your big day, I'm making cocktails! I found this one called Pool Party Massacre (perfect for a deadly summer) at CakeWolf's horror blog. You can find it here. I'm also bringing a few of our special friends as a surprise. Hope you're ready to see your special friends![...]
We all know him as the unstoppable force of good, fighting evil daily with his talents like writing, podcasting, wild puns, and knowledge of 80's hair metal. But today we shall also know him as BIRTHDAY BOY! Happy Birthday Brian. And in order to properly celebrate, we decided to throw you a concert. Enjoy! I called up Quiet Riot to see if they'd be willing to open this music festival and they agreed--one one condition. We held the first part of the event at an abandoned insane asylum. What could go wrong...right? Get ready to bang your head![...]
Drift by Brian LeTendre Snow will continue to be heavy through the overnight hours, and we are expecting up to an additional seven to eight inches on top of the foot most of the Pioneer Valley has received from storm Howard so far. Wind gusts will mean snow drifts of several feet in certain areas, and visibility will continue to be poor for the next several hours. We're now going live to Andrew Sanders in downtown-- Amber clicked back over to the crime procedural she'd been watching and pulled the quilt tighter around herself as she lay cocooned on the couch. "I c[...]
What better day of the year to release a new book than on Friday, October 13th? I can't think of one, which is why my new novella Chasing the King in Yellow will be dropping this Friday on Amazon and Drive Thru Fiction! Chasing the King in Yellow is in many ways a sequel to the first book in the Parted Veil series, Courting the King in Yellow. After that first book, that story of Frank and Sam continued in the background, as Lovecraft's Curse and Lovecraft's Pupil featured new characters. This book gives readers a window into what's been happening with Frank an[...]

Hmm, do you perhaps know a little book called.... (If you don't, it's on sale for 99 cents right now, so get on that!!) Well, our favorite #HorrorTwins are back with a sequel! Are you ready for this? Serial killers? The perfectness of a book that celebrates all that is autumn? and.... murder? And, obviously, BEAUTIFUL COVERS! Look at the pretty!! HAUNTED (THE WOODSVIEW MURDERS, #2) Last October, corpses piled up in Woodsview, Massachusetts faster than autumn leaves in the dead of fall. The small town changed forever when Jeremy Kane, known as the Harvester, sl[...]
Hello, Darlings!! I am SO thrilled to have our very own Horror Twins, Brian LeTendre and Jolene Haley, on the blog today! They graciously let me feast on their brains about their books, both past and upcoming. So I'll stop boring you and just hop right in! How did you two start writing together in the first place? Brian: I was lucky enough to participate in a few of the Pen & Muse writing showcases (Dark Carnival and Haunt), and I was a big fan of Jolene's because she's such a positive force in the writing community. I asked her to be a gu[...]
You know what I love? Creepy towns with secrets. Amusement parks have always felt ominous to me. Crowds of people happily running around, blind to what's going on around them in their joy. The rides are running--death traps if I've ever seen one--carnival food consumed by the bucketful, made by people peering out at the cheery park goers who don't know anyone in that town or have any reason to care about what happens when your food is made. It's hot, the day is coming to a close, there's a magic in the air that could be great, or could be.... something....else. A[...]
It’s July! Which means: You need to watch Stranger Things on Netflix, Dead of Summer is out and (amazing!) and it’s almost October. Kind of. It also means we get to celebrate two of my favorite people ever! Happy Birthday Brian LeTendre and Kim Graff! Happy Happy Birthday Brian LeTendre!!! Brian, you are such a wonderful, fantastic person with big dreams, a huge heart, and talent beyond my wildest dreams. For you I gift you this music video, which is one of my favorite songs of all time from one of my favorite bands of all time. I trea[...]
