0 It's not often that a writer can pin down the exact moment they came up with the idea for their book or series, but I can, because it was on twitter. https://twitter.com/faithmckay/status/458316923118166016 Yes, The Spice Girls were very big in the 1980s. *headdesk* https://twitter.com/faithmckay/status/458317110129598464 https://twitter.com/faithmckay/status/458317493619015681 https://twitter.com/faithmckay/status/458327130279931904 AND THERE IT IS. I was kidding when I hit tweet. But then it wheedled its way into my thoughts. What would that story look[...]
When it's late at night and you can't sleep, does your past ever snuggle under the covers, and haunt you? Do you think about embarrassing things you've done, or people you miss? Do you ever feel haunted? “In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts, but we create them. We haunt ourselves.” ― Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls I love a good ghost story, and I've noticed that there are some very emotional ghosts out there. They're stuck in their pasts. They're often stuck on one thing that happened to them, and they're after the living for that reason.[...]

Welcome to The Midnight Society’s #OctFearFest! You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants. - Stephen King When I sit down to think of the history of horror, lots of stuff comes into my mind (Frankenstein, of course) but if there's a type of horror I love best, it's comedy horror. There's nothing better than looking at something terrifying, and having a laugh. I'm sure that when people were first on this planet they were out there clubbing their dinner and laughing over the spray of blood, so the h[...]
Journalism Rule #1: Always report the story. Never become the story. Avery Blair has accepted the fact that nothing exciting ever happens in her small town of Woodsview, Massachusetts. As the editor of the high school blog, she prays for something—anything—to come along that would make for a great headline. When Beatrice Thompson’s body is found in the girls’ bathroom, Avery has her biggest story ever. The rumors circulating the school say that Beatrice took her own life, but Avery doesn't believe it for a second. Her instincts prove true when the next[...]
Somehow, despite being endlessly excited for the upcoming Victor Frankenstein movie (starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, two of my favorites!) I have yet to post about it on The Midnight Society. If you haven't heard about it, this may actually be a blessing, because we still have to wait until November 25th for this to hit theaters. So long! But, still. You need to be informed of its glory. Here's the poster... LOVE! And here is the pretty, pretty trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pxZxY_Siyc *pets the screen* It's been ages since they've[...]
Today is a very special day, because today is the creator of The Midnight Society's birthday! That's right, it's the anniversary of Jolene Haley's entrance to this realm. This lady is relentlessly supportive, so I thought we should celebrate her existence by being supportive right back! One month from now, on September 22nd, you'll be able to read the very first novel in The Woodsview Murders series, Harrowed. It's been cowritten by Jolene Haley and Brian LeTendre (another member of The Midnight Society!) Haven't heard about it? Here are the details: Journal[...]
Hello, Midnighters! I've mentioned that I'm working on a series of zombie books a few times on here, and today I finally get to tell you about it, AND show you the cover!
