It's still a bit surreal that my story "Doppelgänger" was included in FOUND 2: MORE STORIES OF FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR!

Thanks, @andrewcull and @Gabino_Iglesias, and all the amazing writers in this collection!

If you haven't found it yet...It's waiting for you! 💀💀

FOUND 2: MORE STORIES OF FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR, edited by @andrewcull and @Gabino_Iglesias, gets a lot of love from @Library_Tony. This anthology features stories from @RhiannonAGrist, @peterrosch, @caleb_bethea_, @LoreKeating, @keychild, @AR1sto, & more!

Unlike Xmas, no superstitions suggest that you need to take your Halloween decorations down. In fact, the longer you keep them up the more likely you are to ascend to the status of Pumpkin King 🎃, so there's no downside there really 🖤.

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

Another trip to Peter Mac today, and that means...another book donated to the Patient LFL! 📼It was awesome to be able to donate a copy of FOUND2 🖤 I hope that whoever finds our cursed book digs the found footage frights!

[Tony Jones @Library_Tony]

Look closely at the library display waiting to be FOUND... I devoured FOUND2 edited by Andy Cull & Gabino Iglesias, breathing new life into the found footage subgenre with their new anthology. Lots of other cool books on show, including Tim McGregor for my next school book club.

[LittleGhosts @LittleGhostsBoo]

If you haven't read NESTLINGS yet, you should! @natcassidy knows how to build tension and make it all unsettling, creepy, darkness in the best kind of way. I thank Night Worms for introducing me to it!

[Nightfire Books @TorNightfire]

Looking for an urban horror novel served with a deep sense of unease and a side of creeping paranoia? Look no further than NESTLINGS by @natcassidy👶
