Get your joy and beauty where you can.

There's a great interview with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social on @talkscaredpod.bsky.social . Michael discusses his new novel The October Film Hunt. I read Michaels first collection of short stories Green Pastures and can highly recommend it.

Stopped by The Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid, NY, to sign copies of The October Film Haunt. Even more special was the surprise of an employee telling me they'd recently started the audiobook. 🥰

I hope you enjoy the stories, Greg! There'll be a few retroactive Easter eggs after reading the novel.
