1. I love that you've been so much care into planning your spooky season reading. So great!

2. 'Help the Witch' is a fantastic collection. Tom Cox is really something else, and those stories are so eerie and atmospheric and FUN. —Mel

This sounds like fun. I was given Devil's Day as a present a while ago. It was some kind of slow brewing but worth finishing.

Mmm that’s how Foxash is too but when I’m in the mood for that, it’s all I want.

Folk Horror is my new favorite (well several years new), and I've been reading everything I can grab. I've read some of the authors above, and it's great you are featuring some less known writers. Thanks! 🦊

Hi Sadie! Question if I may -- I've heard from a couple different authors now that "horror is coming back big right now." Do you feel that's true? Are sales actually increasing year over year? Also this might not be your wheelhouse, I realize, but thought I should ask. Thanks for taking care of us all!
