Hey, folks, it’s been a minute. Apologies for the mostly radio silence, but it’s been kinda busy around here between getting the bookstore ready for our first outing, hammering out the final details for OSS13’s first issue, and everything else. So, here’s a brief update of what’s been happening.
First, we’re inching closer to finalizing issue #1 of Ossuary 13. These are the covers ⬆. This week, I’ll be finalizing the title pages for each story and putting everything together so I can mail them out to subscribers and contributors by the 22nd. On the 23rd, I’ll announce the theme for the next issue, which will be published around December 21st.
We also got the first episode of The Spec-Fic Speakeasy podcast out. RM Greta and I interview MA Knight about their debut horror novel, FEVERCHAIN. You can catch that episode right here (you can also subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify if those are more your jam). New episodes will drop every other week. Next up is Ian Patterson’s interview.
Strangleroot Books & Games will be doing our first event on 9/18 at the Ocala Oddities Market at the Ocala Downtown Market. If you’re in the area, make sure you stop by! We’ll be there from 6 pm until 10 pm with all the horror books and games in our inventory. Our GoFundMe is still running if you want to help us move toward our goal of getting the store mobile.
I’m eagerly awaiting a few things:
- RM Greta’s working away at the debut of Blood Opal Bloom, and I cannot wait.
- Matt Warnock’s book, The Traveling Jessie Barstow, is due out soon! You can preorder the ebook now, and the paperback is right around the corner.
- Two new horror movies look fantastic. In a big departure for me, I’m going to try to see both in the theater.
- Other Mommy (an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s Incidents Around the House)
- Family (Benjamin Finkle’s directorial debut)
