October/Halloween 2026 recap

October and Halloween has come and gone and at SFFWorld, we had something new go up close to every day during the month of October (20 Countdown to Halloween posts)! 


But first…I attended NY Comic Con with a press pass this year (Check out my catch-all post at SFFWorld) and one of the great outcomes was the Horror panel moderated by Becky Stratford. At the author signing following the panel, Becky and I chatted for quite a bit, subsequently exchanged emails and she invited me to write an essay for her “Why I Love Horror” series. No big deal, just participate in a series of essays that also included writers like Stephen Graham Jones, Tananrive Due, and Paul Tremblay. Here’s that link: Why I Love Horror.


Here are the books I spotlighted/reviewed:


I Know a Place by Nat Cassidy





Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones





The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson





Monstera by Delilah S. Dawson





When the Night Comes Knocking by Katherine Daniel





Mazywood by Tananrive Due





Lethal Kiss by Taylor Grothe




All told, some incredible novels I was able to feature at SFFWorld in Spooky Season 2026.
