Thank you, Sarah! I was just thinking how great it was to discuss some of the same issues with you at Books Are Magic a few weeks ago.
Amazing to see @elizabethhand.bsky.social’s A HAUNTING ON THE HILL reviewed in print in the New Yorker, a way for Kristen Roupenian to discuss the limitations of writing to another novel’s template and how to break free of the constraints:
Elizabeth Hand’s “Haunting on the Hill” is an authorized follow-up to a Shirley Jackson classic. But haunting someone else’s house comes with perils as well as perks.
Yes! Such a great discussion.

If you don't know about Storybundle, you should. I'm in this one with my novel Maelstrom - another Crossroad Press author, Nancy Collins also - @elizabethhand.bsky.social and others... pay what you want... pay enough and get the bonus. Great eBook bargains and charitable contributions.
Pay what you like and get a bundle of awesome ebooks and more!
Thank you so much, Chris — wish we were within shared airspace and could meet up again IRL.
Thank you, Sarah! Believe it or not, I had a dream last night that you and I were co-teaching a workshop in a big empty creepy old house. This seems like a dream we might possibly make come true.
Dreamed @danchaon.bsky.social was in a 1940s newsroom, working on a world-shaking exposé — visor eyeshade, cigarette, the works. Newsboys raced in to hand him stacks of files as he wrote on an old Underwood typewriter. I glanced at a file to get a clue as to the scandal. Then woke, of course.
Thanks, Paul1. I LOVE that gorgeous cover for Delilah's book!
Listening to it now, the Sunday morning show on WGOD.
Pretty much every day here (only John's the one on the ice floe).
