Why Horror?

Photo by freestocks on Unsplash Hey, folks. Walt here again to talk about, what else, Strangleroot Books & Games. This time around, I’d like to answer a question that I’m sure some of you’ve been asking, which is: why the hell do you want to open a horror-exclusive bookstore? Given that until a few years ago, most bookstores didn’t even have a dedicated horror section, that reaction makes sense.…

Hashtag Probed - Ch. 11

Donna limped along in the dark forest, swearing with each step. Her knee was swollen and bloody and her face and arms stung where she’d been scratched by random branches during her tumble. Night had fallen as she walked and she’d spent the time trying to piece together the bits of information Darren had given her.Stewart was alive. He was alive and hiding because he’d gotten himself into some…

Chapter 4 | Wolves Among Us

Hi, folks. It’s been a long time since I posted any fiction. Wolves Among Us is still progressing, albeit slower than I’d expected with everything else going on. I guess better late than never? Anyway, here’s Chapter 4. Chapter 4 Mel, Kurt, and Tommy followed Sessions out of the room, up the stairs, and then down a corridor. He stopped before a door and unlocked it, handing the key to Kurt.…

On the Road Again

When I was a kid, there was nowhere more magical than the bookstore (although the toy store was a close second). I have vivid memories of spending hours perusing the shelves at my local used bookshop, credit ticket for my trade-in books clutched in my sweaty hand. I think the first new bookstore I ever went to was at the mall, so it was probably Walden or maybe B. Dalton. It was a long time…

The Future of Publishing Is Small

Unbreaking the Publishing Industry The publishing industry is fucking broken. Depending on your source, only 1% to .6% of the books submitted to trad publishers actually get published (with or without an agent). However, even if you’re one of the blessed few to land a deal, you’re not out of the woods. Most books sell fewer than 2,000 copies in their lifetimes. Many sell fewer than 1,000…

Bookstores Are (not) Dead

Once upon a time, most communities had at least one small, independent bookseller. I have very fond memories of the used bookstore where I grew up, a little hole-in-the-wall place called Potluck Books & Things, and the huge BUY/SELL/TRADE emblazoned on the glass entry door (and the incredible smell of the place). We had multiple bookstores in most malls (B. Dalton, Walden Books, etc.). Then…

HONK HONK #09

It’s Friday. I’ll be honest I’ve been having the roughest time ever and I have absolutely not reached out to anyone or accepted any help regarding it. I don’t know how I can spend so much time assuring people their voices matter and disregard my own completely. Well, I do know, but that is a long conversation related to my childhood trauma. The collage above was made with Halloween props and an…

Hashtag Probed - Ch. 10

#probed TOC I did not send out chapters 7, 8, or 9 via email, so you may have missed a few things. Refer to the button above for the links to those. On the table in front of them was an assortment of colors and textures and materials—cotton, spandex, lace. Some of the items had been worn and some still had the tags on them. The supervising alien in charge of human intake, Ylzrrk, hovered above…

Starting a Podcast & a Mobile Bookstore

2026 looks to be a pretty crazy year. I turned 50. I signed up to run my first marathon. I published some books and started a print-only zine. And now I’m starting a podcast and a mobile bookstore! Yes, you read that right. I haven’t really talked about either of them here, mostly because they’re still in the pre-production stages. The Podcast The podcast is The Spec-Fic Speakeasy and, as you…
