Of my 6 books, Malevolent Nevers continues to be my most widely read. Set in Foxborough, MA on a Halloween Night from Hell, it features a nursery rhyme gone bad, a small town with a big secret, & a room full of clowns. And an all-time review below 👇

He had to..."rewind"? Pretty sure penalty calls in real-time aren't supposed to work like that.

As unofficial town sorcerer, I'm sending out a very mild, almost ineffective charm that will remind you to drink a bit more water and stay hydrated.

Read horror. Watch horror. Write horror. Create horror. Buy horror. Rent horror. Borrow horror. Request horror. Give horror. Share horror.

Tom Rimer @rimertom.bsky.social · 18d

This is the way.
