HUGE NEWS!!!

Living in Cemeteries earned out its advance!!! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who picked up a copy!!!

This has meant so much to me. I hope my little novel keeps making its way out into the world. And if you are one of my readers, I hope you enjoyed it :)

Did you know I wrote the back cover copy for this guy???

“encounter ethical werewolf rearing, murderous tree cults, Weird insectile evolutions, seaside folk horror, corrupt environmental tourism, gothic forest wanderings, eternal plastic pollution, sea-bound cosmic horror..”

How’d I do?

Haunted Ecologies, by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, is so incredibly good so far. I try to take comfort in the supernatural but it never lets you forget the horrors that are coming. I've also been moved to tears like three times in the first five stories.

You’re very welcome! I was pumped when this showed up!!!

It’s a great day for Horror/Weird Fiction short stories in Libraries!

The Best Weird Fiction of the Year ( @undertow.bsky.social ) and Little Horn ( @gemmafiles.bsky.social ) just arrived!

Pumped to have them hanging out on our shelves :)

There’s probably a LP Giver out there. A lot of the bigger fiction titles of the year get LP editions :)

Corey Farrenkopf @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe someday though :)

Corey Farrenkopf @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social · 2d

Hahaha yeah, trying over here :)

Corey Farrenkopf @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social · 2d

Hahaha sadly that’s true :/

You know how you really know you made it in publishing???

People can get your books in Large Print.

Just a librarian observation :)
