What does the act of writing have to do with skateboarding? Surprisingly, quite a bit. Callum explains everything (very well) in this essay.

No better way to pass time before my flight by ANNOUNCING A NEW BOOK DEAL!

I've been bothering ancient stones, sweet tracks, settlements and burial chambers for years. Now I can put my love for prehistory, quests, dark magic, animals, and long, epic journeys into a horror fantasy novel.

Ecstatic.

Honestly loving "the lovechild of Rosemary's Baby and Children of the Corn", we're rolling with that comp @carsonwinter.bsky.social

@carsonwinter.bsky.social delivers horror pulp with class conscious in A Spectre is Haunting Greentree from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social This felt like the lovechild of Rosemary's Baby and Children of the Corn with a hefty dose of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark mixed in. Quick, with a sharp bite!
One of the coolest covers you'll see. A scarecrow stalks the dying corn with a sunset in the background. Crows fly across the field, one going to land on his hand. A church is in the background. Idyllic town? There's always more beneath the surface. A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING GREENTREE by Carson Winter.

IF YOU KNEW ME is available to NetGalley members, and it could use more ratings and reviews at NetGalley and Goodreads. Also available to pre-order almost anywhere. It's a psychological thriller about obsession and identity. (I have reason to believe the audiobook edition is going to be awesome.)

Call me a necromancer the way I'm working to raise my out-of-print collection from the dead. 😤

Any leads for non-sketchy horror/Weird fiction small presses are welcome. Note that this collection is significantly expanded from its original form and is even better than it was before.

GabaGhoul: A Mafia Horror Anthology is officially out TODAY, and it includes my story "The Corpse Box"
excerpt from my story. First, I just want to thank you for hearing me out. I know you came over tonight thinking something else was gonna happen. And, shit, who knows? If everything works out, who says it can’t still happen, right? I do like guys. That part wasn’t a lie. And you are cute. But obviously you already know that. I mean, Jesus Christ, look at you. You’re fucking ripped. Which was why I chose you. I need someone with some goddamn muscles. The shit I would let you do to me . . . but not right now. Later, maybe. I’m sorry, but horny is probably the last emotion I’m feeling tonight, as crazy as that sounds. I also want to emphasize that you aren’t a hostage. You can leave any time you want. Yes, I have the gun, but it’s not like I’m going to use it. I’ve never shot anybody in my life. The only reason I’m even holding it now is because you saw it when you weren’t supposed to and started freaking out. I’ll put it away the moment you calm down. And yeah, okay, technically you’re wearing handcuffs right now, but c’mon. They’re pink and fuzzy. These are not hostage handcuffs. Their purpose is to inspire erections, not fear. I’ll unlock them the moment I’m done telling you what I gotta say. And then, if you don’t want to help me out, you can leave. No problem. It’s a free country, right? I’m not trying to make you do anything against your will. Except maybe listen. I’ll ungag you as soon as I’m finished, I promise. Look, I’m in a bit of a fucking pickle here, all right? And that’s putting it lightly. The problem I got, it’s a life-or-death thing, you know? No, not you. I’m talking about me. This shit goes a certain way and you’re looking at a dead man. There’s not a place in this world Savini won’t find me. Well, maybe there’s one place . . . but more on that in a minute. You know Johnny Savini? You ever hear of that motherf
