Currently reading WEIRD BLACK GIRLS by Elwin Cotman. Goddamn. He was great before, but this collection is can't miss. Weird and creepy, with the kind of gorgeous, symphonic prose. Spread the word, because my weird friends need to read this.
Friends...holy shit. I'm about 2/3 through CHURCH OF BONE AND RAIN, the upcoming novel by Gabino Iglesias, and it's magnificent. I keep thinking about Don Winslow (one of the best writers we have) crime novels, but this is a Don Winslow-esque Puerto Rican folk horror crime novel! Man, it's brilliant
UK readers! Titan Books is bringing you this gloriously hideous paperback on 17 September!
This cover couldn't be more different from the US cover, and yet I love them both for completely different reasons!
Surprise!
Out today from Haverhill House! All 3 volumes of my horrific dark fantasy The Veil Trilogy!
THE MYTH HUNTERS, THE BORDERKIND, and THE LOST ONES.
Available in trade paper, digital, or in hardcover (for the first time!) With gorgeous covers by Peter Bergting, designed by Errick Nunnally!
Crime and thriller readers...don't miss THE BANG-BANG SISTERS by Rio Youers. Crime and thriller authors...if you'd like to read this one early (and trust me, you want to), DM me and I'll make it happen. It's so damn good!
Holy crap. 2023 was an extraordinary year for horror. We are in a true Golden Age. But even with all of the amazing work being down out there, THE REFORMATORY by @tananarivedue.bsky.social has to be my pick for Book of the Year. This one is unforgettable.
Here we go again!

SLAYERS: A BUFFYVERSE STORY debuted Thursday. It's #2 in the US and #1 in the UK. I'm deeply grateful to my sister, Amber Benson, and to our extraordinary cast. When you're dealing with this kind of talent there are no limits to what you can do in audio. Anything you imagine can be real.
We've sold out our discounted room block at the con hotel (Sheraton Harborside in Portsmouth NH). HOWEVER they DO have some rooms available at the normal rate. If you make reservations tell them you are there for this event. ALSO...we are attempting to secure rooms at another hotel. More soon.
UK folks...

"SILENT KEY is one hell of a read. In this masterful melding of multiple genres, Hightower weaves mystery and espionage into a stellar twist on the ghost story. This book deserves to make it into every airport bookshop and supermarket spinner rack. Laurel Hightower is one to watch!"
I'm feeling profoundly fortunate today.
“The House of Last Resort runs deep, shining a light on the self-deceptions that drive us, and then farther still, into the catacombs where something inhuman stirs. An expert work of suspense from an author who keeps getting better and better.”
--Owen King
