Let the blood & tears flow 🩸🥲

Them: Is that a Stanley? Me: No. It’s a Jason.

Very sweet message from a new local friend. It means a lot when non-spooky folks go out of their way to read my books. It means even more when they discover that maybe… actually… they do like horror? 😈

Folks often ask which format purchase is most beneficial to authors. Personally speaking, a sale is a sale, whether you buy hardcover, paperback, eBook, or audio. Authors don’t see $ from used books or pirate sites but if you read one that way and enjoy, maybe buy the next new?

I'm in the middle of candy cain kills again and i just got jumpscared by my own goddamn name. Brian McAuley is a terrible horrible awful sweet thoughtful lovely little cretin. the audacity. 🥹

Truly fortunate to have the most thoughtful team bringing Curse of the Reaper to Spain. ⛓️🇪🇸

If I ever go missing, there will be three very sweet booksellers with blood on their hands. 🫶🫶🫶

"Chock-full of gruesome and gory kills, but also balanced with an emotional tale... what McAuley has been able to create over these two books is simply fantastic." 🥹 Thank you so much, Capes and Tights!

Writing a sequel is scary, so it’s a relief to see early readers connecting with this second installment.

Because it's a continuation, like HALLOWEEN, picking up immediately after the first book. It just feels different when compared to most sequels. 🪓🎄⛪️
