The post Review: Muñeca by Cynthia Gomez appeared first on Cemetery Dance Online.

She is ten years old. She loves storybooks, puppies, and murder. Her mother knows. She has always known. And still she runs with her, steals for her, looks the other way—because she is her little girl. Because somewhere beneath those flat, patient eyes is the child she once rocked to sleep. Isn’t she? In the gritty, pre-everything America of the early 1980s, a mother and daughter are leaving a quiet trail of bodies across state lines. When a dangerous man steps into their orbit and the police close in from behind, the mother faces the question she has spent a decade outrunning. What is she raising? What has she always been raising? And what happens when her daughter decides she’s better off alone? The Girl in Green is a razor-edged psychological thriller that lives in the space between devotion and horror. Because the most terrifying thing about a monster isn’t what it does. It’s how much you love it. Fans of We Need to Talk About Kevin and Alice, Sweet Alice will love The Girl in Green. Will her reign of evil ever end? Click the buy now button and fall into this dark, dangerous world. Now available on Kindle, […]

Hello and welcome to the latest issue of The Ghoulish Times. My name is Max Booth and this is my free spooky newsletter about all things GHOULISH.

First, gotta get something out of the way immediately. If you live in the San Antonio area and recognize this dog, please contact me at maxboothiii@gmail.com.

I found him yesterday near the Hemisphere downtown. See my thread on Bluesky documenting our little adventure together thus far (with many more pics). It’s been…a crazy 24 hours. I’ve filled out a few forms with local rescues, but it’s tough, capacity is limited and I’m not going to fuck around with the shelters since most of them are kill shelters. I’m also not going to let some internet rando take him (several have offered but…sorry, if I don’t know you, I don’t trust you! please stop calling the shop!).

The Horror Show with Brian Keene's "Dungeonmaster 77.1" joins us to discuss his writing journey, why he decided to follow Joe Hill's career path, his desire to not be seen as a nepo-baby, and what he learned growing up around writers and artists such as Paul Tremblay, John Urbancik, Kasey Lansdale, Stephen Kozeniewski, Wile E. Young, and Christian Jensen, as well as his father and stepmother. Available on Patreon, Spotify, and Brian Keene dot com. As always, new episodes are paywalled for the first month.

Hacked premiered at the Gasparilla International Film Festival, where it took home the Award for Best Focus on Florida Feature Film, and went on to screen at Popcorn Frights Film Festival, FilmQuest, the Chattanooga Film Festival, Celluloid Screams, and the Soho Horror Film Festival.

Available on DVD and VOD June 2 from S&R Films

The serialized first draft version of FALLING ANGELS: The Labyrinth, Book 4 concludes this week on Patreon. You can read the entire thing right now in that form for just five bucks. A signed limited edition hardcover form Thunderstorm Books will follow late-summer or early-fall, followed by paperback and ebook editions from Manhattan On Mars in December, and audiobook from Crossroad Press in December or early 2027 (depending on production).

Originally, the series was going to be a hexalogy — a series of six volumes. However, upon completion of this current volume, I have come to the realization that only one more book is needed. Thus, The Labyrinth series will be a five book series, rather than six. A pentalogy. That final book will be titled THE END, and will be composed of three parts, subtitled Heaven and Hell, Ob Rules, and Genesis. The serialized version of that will begin on Patreon later this year, upon completion of the remaining commissioned LOST LEVEL stories and a collaborative nove Continue Reading

From the new trick-or-treaters to the big kids who know which houses give out the full-size bars, these tales deliver all the thrills of Halloween night in bite-sized pieces.

In the tradition of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, each author brings their own deliciously twisted take on the season. Some stories will make you squirm, others will send an icy chill down your spine. Whether you crave the nostalgia of flickering jack-o'-lanterns or the shock of something moving in the shadows, this collection invites you to savor Halloween every night of the year because for some of us, October never lets go.

I love Holiday horror and especially stories set on or around Halloween. I'm always on the lookout for new Halloween anthologies, even when my TBR is overflowing. I happened to notice this one when I went to update my profile on Book Sirens (which oddly still lists my social reach at less than a third of what it is) and decided to request it. After a couple of days, when it was neither approved nor Continue Reading
