Hey humans!
I did an interview with Ginger Nuts of Horror, yep you heard that right, talking about what makes me the horror lover I am today. Check it here
And in case you haven't heard, here's a bit of paise for Speculation Publications' Vampire Hunters: An Incomplete Record of Personal Accounts.

"The strength of this anthology lies in its diversity—not just of authorship, but of tone and form. One piece might read like a 19th-century Gothic confession, dripping with candle wax and regret; another pulses with the adrenaline of a modern-day field report, complete with coordinates and tactical advice. There are quiet tragedies, ferocious battles, and even the occasional dark humor. Through it all, the vampires remain terrifyingly real—not romanticized monsters, but predators whose cunning evolves with every passing generation.

What’s most compelling is how the anthology plays with the idea of legacy: this isn’t just a book of horror stories, it’s a record, an archive handed down through desperate hands. You get the sense of a world teetering on the edge of a shadow war, and these documents are humanity’s last-ditch effort to understand and survive it.

While the subtitle warns that this is an “incomplete” record, that feels less like a shortcoming and more like a narrative choice—suggesting there’s more out there, hidden or lost. The fragmented nature of the accounts may not appeal to readers seeking cohesive plots or recurring characters, but for fans of atmospheric horror, cryptic lore, and epistolary fiction, this is a rich and satisfying read."

"As a lover of gothic fiction, folklore, and anything vampiric, this book hits all the right notes. It’s not romantic or polished; it’s brutal, and eerily believable. If someone is drawn to the shadowy, mythic side of horror with a scholarly flair, Vampire Hunters delivers a chilling, beautifully constructed descent into darkness.
This book is a dark and immersive anthology that reads like a bloodstained archive pulled from secret vaults. Framed through journals, sketches, and found texts, it spans centuries and continents, giving voice to generations of vampire hunters. Each entry feels raw, intimate, and unflinchingly grim, capturing the psychological toll of those who’ve faced monsters and sometimes become them."
