Sneak Peek at SOUR CANDY by Kealan Patrick Burke!

This isn’t officially announced yet, but next year Cemetery Dance Publications will be publishing a signed Limited Edition hardcover of Kealan Patrick Burke’s incredible novella, SOUR CANDY, and I thought it might be fun to show off the signature sheets now since this is such a cool looking book:

New Serial Novel Launching In January: One Candle Against the Night

One Candle Against the Night is a novel I’ve been thinking about writing for a very long time, so the challenge of writing and publishing the story as a serial chapbook series for my supporters on Patreon seems like the perfect way to make sure this book finally gets written.

That’s why, in January, I’ll be printing “One Candle Against the Night: The River Town” as an exclusive chapbook for my��Patreon supporters at the $5 or higher Rewards Levels.

This is the first section of the novel, and...

Brian James Freeman, Your Website Needs More Pop-Up Ads! (Um, no thanks!)

A lot of people in the writing business have been telling me I really need a pop-up window on my website that begs visitors to sign-up for my mailing list… but no… just no…

New Rewards, New Levels, Still Time To Qualify For Big Rewards!

I’m making some improvements to my Patreon rewards levels for those who might be interested in signing up before the big rewards kick in:

Halloween Carnival: Volume Five Received a STARRED REVIEW From Publishers Weekly!

Halloween Carnival: Volume Five has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and here’s just a bit of what they had to say:

“In this nail-bitingly tense short horror anthology, each of the five stories packs its own particular punch… This miniature cavalcade of spine-tingling and thought-provoking horrors lives up to its name and is the perfect Halloween treat.”

It’s never too late for a little Halloween in your life, so please feel free to grab a copy if you haven’t already!
