Every year, the Horror Writers Association runs a blog series called Halloween Haunts. Horror writers at every level share their halloween memories or talk about something spooky. Often they give away copies of their most-recent books. On October 31 this year, the HWA will treat one lucky winner to a Kindle Fire HD6.
I’ve participated for the last several years and will again toward the end of this month. I’ll be talking about The Exorcist and its influence on Lost Angels on October 28. If you want to win, you should comment on that day.
Check out the horrors at http://horror.org/category/blog/. I’ll post the whole schedule of writers below.
