3 Today I have an exciting event to tell you about! One of my favorite horror book blogs, Contagious Reads, is going to be hosting a conference celebrating women horror writers. Big shout out to our very own Faith, for giving me the heads up on this one.

There is something for every taste. With that in mind, I've pulled out just a few of my finds, in the hopes of finding something of interest for every Midnighter out there. I'm going to start off with one of my favorite artist finds, Gillian Newland. Her booth was constantly swarmed and I had to try three times to get up there. One of the great stuff about her work is that while i[...]
