PSA! If you’re a proper romantic who plans on watching MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1981) with your lover tonight, beware the censored cut on Shudder! You can head to The Internet Archive & stream the vastly superior remastered uncut version for free. And this, dear creeps, is my bloody valentine to you. 💘🩸

I love it when my books resonate with slasher fans. But bringing fresh blood across the threshold into my beloved little subgenre? Makes my chainsaw heart sing. 🫀🎶

I’d heard this Barker story was a banger, but was not prepared for how thoroughly it rewired my brain. Truly astounding.
