New Novel Announced

July 26, 2023

Dean announced the title of the next book after The Bad Weather Friend on the This is Horror podcast last night. It is Going Home in the Dark. Continue listening through about the 10 minute mark for a synopsis. I’ve got to admit, it sounds a bit too much like Stephen King’s IT.

Happy Birthday, Dean!
