That Friday feelin’ calls for a #BlackstoneShowcase that offers a fang-tastic twist on the vampire genre! Horror, social commentary, and a bite of buddy comedy collide in Michelle McGill Vargas’ wildly entertaining debut, AMERICAN GHOUL!🧛♀���🧛♀️🧛♀️Perfect for fans of #GradyHendrix and #SilviaMorenoGarcia, sink your teeth into the synopsis (and preorder the September 3rd release via the 🔗 below)! You can’t kill someone who’s already dead. That’s what Lavinia keeps telling her jailer after—allegedly—killing her mistress, Simone Arceneau. But how could Simone be dead when she was taking callers just a few minutes before? And why was her house always so dark? Lavinia, a recently freed slave, met Simone, a recently undead vampire, by chance on a plantation in post–Civil War Georgia. With nothing remaining for either woman in the South, the two form a fast friendship and head north. However, Lavinia quickly learns that teaming up with this white woman may be more than she bargained for. Simone is reckless and impulsive—which would’ve been bad enough on its own, but when combined with her particular diet, Lavinia finds herself in way over her head. As she is forced to repeatedly compromise her morals and struggles to make lasting human connections, Lavinia begins to wonder, is she truly free or has she merely exchanged one form of enslavement for another? As bodies start to pile up in the small Indiana town they’ve settled in, people start to take a second look at the two newcomers, and Simone and Lavinia’s relationship is stretched to its breaking point … . . 👻Learn more about #AMERICANGHOUL: https://lnkd.in/gH3bmwMp . . . #MichelleMcGillVargasthe #americanghoulbook #supernaturalfiction #supernaturalbooks #vampirebooks #vampirefiction #southerngothic #noirfiction #noirhumor #horrorbookstagram #horrorbookslove #horrorbooks #horrorfiction #occultfiction #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #bookcoverlove #newbookalert #bookcoverdesign #bookcoverart #bookcoverreveal

Today's first #pubday announcement brings you this chilling tale from an iconic author. #SHARKNIGHT by R. L. Stine is available NOW in multiple formats! 🦈 Limited signed editions are available at Barnes and Noble! Dear Readers, Sharks are scary--and popular. They seem to swim closer to shore these days, and shark attacks bring real horror to beaches. At the same time, people love watching sharks, and millions tune in to the many shark documentaries and shark horror films on TV. Thinking about this, I began to wonder: What if a twelve-year-old boy found himself in shark trouble? And what if the shark trouble was just the beginning of his problems? What if he soon found himself used as shark bait? Could he survive? Those were my first thoughts. And those questions led to Shark Night. I hope it will be scary--and popular. --R.L.
