There are very few things I love more than combining different genres and elements just to see what happens. Some of these combinations work better than others and I think horror and Westerns were meant to be. There are so many things about the frontier era or the wild west that lend themselves to horror and thriller stories.

Cherie Priest has been producing top-notch mysteries and thrillers for quite a while. Her latest novel, THE DROWNING HOUSE, is a stand-alone and contains all the elements of horror and dark fantasy that I have come to expect from her work. The action is set on Marrowstone, an island off the coast of Washington State that is not far from Seattle. This is where the summer friendship between Simon, Melissa and Leo began as children and continues to the present day as they’re approaching middle age.

The Drowning House by Cherie PriestCherie Priest should be crowned the queen of cursed houses. First there was Maplecroft, her Lizzie Borden/Lovecraftian suspense novel with the atmospheric house there, then The Family Plot with the old house steeped in family evil. With 2024’s The Drowning House, Priest gives us not one but two cursed houses… and one makes an appearance in a way I’ve never seen before.

Over the holidays, the hot new cover for my next full-length novel dropped - and I didn’t want it to get lost in any festive shuffles, so here we go! Do you recall awhile back, when I went on that writer field trip with my pal Kat Richardson? To refresh your memory: we trekked out to the far side of Puget Sound to set eyes on a weird little island where I’d decided to set a weird little haunted house story. I’d never been to this island before.

"Who put Ellen in the blackgum tree?" Decades after trespassing children spotted a woman’s corpse wedged in a treetop, no one knows the answer to that question. No one even knows who’s been asking it all this time, via the persistent, anonymous graffiti that shows up like clockwork each year in the tiny town of Cinderwich. Now Kate Thrush and her former professor-turned-mentor Judith Kane have arrived, hoping to solve the mystery of the woman in the tree.

Well folks, tomorrow morning (8/29) I’ll be heading out for DragonCon in Atlanta for the first time in several years. I’m not 100% overjoyed re: no mask or vaccine requirements, but I got a booster a month ago and I have a fat stack of N95s ready to roll. Yes, I plan to be masked - at least most of the time and on panels. You do you, but I have some health issues that are nobody’s business, and I don’t feel like catching another round of Covid if I can help it. At any rate.
