Okay, I’m sorry, Harlan, you are NOT convincing me that you’re a mild-mannered pussycat.

Does this sound creepily similar to what the current administration is doing to universities right now, to force them into following right wing ideology? Especially the threats re: withholding funding?

For lovers of folk horror and the British Gothic, a novel set in the midwinter of 1665, within a remote Scottish priory haunted by ancient sorcery and deadly secrets. Enter the Priory…if you dare.

Wow, this new Goodreads review of The Feast of the Innocents just made my day! (As those of you who follow me know, Clive Barker is one of my patron saints so hearing my work compared to his means so much).🕯️🏰💀
