Hi friends! I’ve been a bit MIA, but I’m hoping to return full force. And what better way to do it than by sharing this very cool anthology? I’m delighted to share that my story “Alice’s Adventures in Monsterland” has been accepted to the Enter Boogeyman anthology edited by Bram Stoker Award-winner (and all around nice guy) Alessandro Manzetti.

Alessandro and I met at the Las Vegas Stokercon when he won for Eden Underground and I won for Little Dead Red. Here we are with our brand new awards! I’m bottom row, second to right, and Alessandro is middle row, far right. Hooray!

What a fun little jog down memory lane. Now for Enter Boogeyman!

Edited by Alessandro Manzetti and with a foreword by Poppy Z. Brite, Enter Boogeyman has stories from Linda D. Addison, Ramsey Campbell, Richard Chizmar, Brian Evenson, Gemma Files, Stephen King, Gwendolyn Kiste, John Langan, Joe R. Lansdale, Graham Masterton, RC Matheson, Karolina Mogielska, John Shirley, Lucy A. Snyder, Craig Spector, Anna Taborska, Lucy Taylor, Lisa Tuttle, and me, Mercedes M. Yardley.

The Kickstarter open in October. The English version will be released later this year and the Italian translation will be released in 2024. It’s going to be grand!
