New Episode of The Cullenoscopy… with Grady Hendrix | New Signing Events | Rose City Comic Con Masterclass | Alone Against… The Deathlords of Daemonrot | New Books | Events
A new episode of The Cullenoscopy is live! This time around, I’m spending some time with one of my favorite authors—Grady Hendrix—and we’re discussing ghosts and haunted houses.
We explore what actually makes haunted house stories frightening, why ghosts continue to fascinate readers and audiences, and why the places we inhabit can become some of horror's greatest monsters.
Along the way, we swap recommendations for some of our favorite haunted house novels, movies, music, board games, and video games, while also talking about adaptation, horror storytelling, sleep paralysis, real-life ghost experiences, and why sometimes the scariest thing in a haunted house... is the mortgage.
Give it a watch… and please like and subscribe!

This month, I have a few signings scheduled. As you may already know, I’ll be signing at Distant Planet Comics and Collectibles in Columbia Missouri on August 15th. This is part of a fundraising initiative for The Midnight Lantern Foundation.
Then, on August 26, I’ll be signing (along with JimmyZ Johnston) at Bonesy Jonesy in Jonesboro, AR!
And then—then—we’ll be signing in New Orleans on Friday. August 28th!
We’re trying to procure one more signing on Saturday, but it hasn’t quite come together yet! Stay tuned, though!
During Rose City Comic Con in September, I’ll be teaching one of the masterclasses!
Mine will cover exactly how I managed to weather the ups and downs of the comic book industry and keep myself working. It’ll be candid and informative and fun. This is a ticketed event, but I’ll make it worth your while.

Alone Against… the Deathlords of Daemonrot is a meatgrinder dark fantasy solo adventure in the tradition of the Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy books.
This game involves decision-making, dice rolling, collecting treasure, avoiding curses, and battling monsters in a quest to survive a deadly, terrifying dungeon! The adventure itself is dark, vicious, and full of horrors. You’ll love it.
RIPCORD #5
Dillon has come a long way to find her little sister, traversing treacherous terrain and battling it out with bad-guy bikers and relentless Ripcord rejects. Now she must face the final boss Sera and her gang of feral fiends if she wants to take Janelle home alive. But who are we kidding? They don’t stand a chance!
Witness the bloody conclusion of this exciting series from master of horror Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun; Deluge) and queen inkslinger Aneke (Bylines of Blood).
