With the daily news chipping away at any sense of normalcy, it’s hard not to feel like the world is teetering on the edge. That low hum of “end times” anxiety isn’t new—it’s followed humanity for centuries. Whether that’s comforting or not is up for debate. What is certain is that the apocalypse has always been fertile—if toxic—ground for horror.
In this issue, longtime horror blogger Will Errickson returns with a lineup of classic apocalyptic recommendations. We’re also excited to welcome Robert Ford to Book Worms for the first time, along with a group of incredible writers whose work is guaranteed to haunt you. Honestly, it’s better fiction than the nightly news. Grab your copy before the world ends and check out our back issues while supplies last.
This truly is a dream come true. I’ve been a member of Wattpad for over three years now, and I’m a huge fan of the platform. In fact, I consider Wattpad an essential part of my writing process. My winning story is Code Red, an Appalachian vampire tale. Click on the book cover to check it out.
Here I am gushing over my win, along with some other author updates.
Winning in the horror category makes me especially proud because I love being a part of the online horror community. And speaking of the horror community, Local Haunts: a HorrorTube Anthology is still garnering great sales and reviews (all proceeds go to the charity First Book). My BookTube friend Steve Donoghue and I are busy putting the next anthology together. If you’re on BookTube or AuthorTube and you want to submit a story, the deadline is January 10. Click HERE for more details.
In other news, I completed my third NaNoWriMo, meaning I wrote 50K words of a new project. This is a follow up to my Wattpad story, Starlex. It’s very much a draft with a very long way to go. But for now, I’m setting it aside with the hope that I’m not too horrified when I dust if off again.
A chilling holiday horror
I have a new release! Snowblind is a horror novella with a holiday theme.
This spine-tingling tale is about a woman who has had enough of her husband’s abuse. When she and her best friend (and secret lover) decide to bump him off during a Christmas holiday getaway in the mountains, things go terribly wrong. If you like a quick read and a page-turner with a lot of twists and turns, check it out.
Snowblind is available on Amazon and Smashwords for the low, low price of $1.99.
And finally, here is Batilida with your December Horrorscope. Enjoy!
