The Davis Girl (TDG): Everyone, I am joined via Google Hangouts by fellow snack-loving, D&D playing, Dungeon Master himself, author Tom Torre. Welcome Tom! TOM TORRE (TT): Pleasure to be chatting with ya! TDG: Fun fact, I might have screamed when I saw your tweet about "Dungeons And Drafting" but what in the world *is* it and why does it sound so amazing? TT: Dungeons and Drafting is this bizarre concept I had been dabbling with for the last few years that has finally come to life! It's basically taking four awesome authors, throwing them together[...]

1 Hello, Darlings!! I am SO thrilled to have our very own Horror Twins, Brian LeTendre and Jolene Haley, on the blog today! They graciously let me feast on their brains about their books, both past and upcoming. So I'll stop boring you and just hop right in! How did you two start writing together in the first place? Brian: I was lucky enough to participate in a few of the Pen & Muse writing showcases (Dark Carnival and Haunt), and I was a big fan of Jolene's because she's such a positive force in the writing community. I asked her to be a gu[...]
I'm beyond excited to have one of my favorite new authors on the blog today, Sarah Jude. When I first heard of her book, The May Queen Murders, I flipped out. It sounded amazing. Something that I didn't know I was waiting to read. And then I saw the cover and it was perfect. Let me share more... The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude easily fits into the overlapping worlds of horror, suspense and romance. More freaky than gore, it’s not the usual fright-fest and instead pulls from Ozark lore that builds in tension as the secrets of traditions are unearthed. Sat[...]
And... BOOM! Look at that gorgeous cover! It's like Lana Del Rey's art director mated with the first season of True Detective at a street art convention. This one's going on my shelf where I keep the books with covers I can't stop looking at. (Special thanks to YA Book Central for letting The Society in on the fun, you can find their original reveal here (Oh hey, its a giveaway too)). It gets even better! Here's the book description: Two girls: one with a secret, one with a promise that she’d uncover it. Welcome to Rowan’s Glen—a pla[...]

I have to say just how fortunate I am to be surrounded by all of this talent! Not just the ladies I blog with here at The Midnight Society, but also those who have been so kind as to allow me to dig into their writer brains. Amazingness has come from these fabulous women and I hope to continue to be blessed. Now, without further ado--please welcome Bailey Knight to the cemetery! 1. What does the word “horror” mean to you? If it frightens me, I’m probably into it. I love horror because fear is universal and unavoidable. We are[...]
Last week I put a call out asking women writers of horror to touch base with me about a new series I'm adding here on the blog. Very quickly, I received five enthusiastic responses. Amy Lukavics, gotta love her first name, is a huge fan of horror. I love her enthusiasm about our blog and she seems like a gem! Her novel, DAUGHTERS UNTO DEVILS, is soon to be published with Harlequin Teen. Check it out on Goodreads here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18748653-daughters-unto-devils Thanks to Amy for allowing us into her mind and sharing her love of horror with[...]
