The Bloody Bucket
Nat’s dream job comes calling when a college needs someone to take charge of an annual haunt. One year before, Nat’s predecessor went inside the haunt—but he never came out. Soon, Nat finds herself confronting the ghosts of her own past as well as curses bubbling forth from the land itself.
“Douglas Ford’s The Bloody Bucket is a potent blend of history, hauntings, twisted horns, and ancient evil in a dark academia tale that is steeped in Florida unease and stained with blood. Full of stories inside stories, of goats and crows, possession and poetry, sacrifices and open wounds, The Bloody Bucket is a masterpiece of the occult and deeply, deeply disturbing. Expect to see this one on all the award lists.”—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Monster Stories
“Where do you find inspiration for a deeply terrifying haunt? Sometimes it’s there in the history of the land right under your feet, in the tangled web of stories passed down for generations. Steeped in the lush and sometimes dangerous landscape of Florida, The Bloody Bucket is a chilling reminder that while we may try to forget the past, it’s never all that far away. Ford skillfully weaves history, folklore, and just the right bit of the terrifying occult into a mesmerizing tale that will resonate long after you close the cover.”—Jennifer McMahon, author of My Darling Girl
“Douglas Ford is a Floridian witch doctor, the anti-Carl Hiassen, a swampland shaman capable of imbuing every page with the humidity and kudzu and blood of the Alligator State and exposing its scaly underbelly. The Bloody Bucket overflows with the brackish beauty of a writer besotted by an unplumbed region and regaling the rest of us with its exquisite literary spillover.” — Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Ford has concocted the perfect mixing one part Gothic, one part slasher, and one part Florida folklore. The Bloody Bucket will intoxicate you but it will not leave you hungover. Instead, you will want to return to its pages to imbibe again and again.”—Elaine Pascale, author of The Solstice
“Ford delicately weaves a web of myth, folklore, and the supernatural, expertly exploring both personal and collective trauma. I’ve not read a better story about Florida. This book is truly special.”—Robbie Dorman, author of Words of Christ in Red and Underneath
“Reading The Bloody Bucket is like sleepwalking into the dark and tangled cypress swamps of Old Florida and succumbing to a fever dream, where the bloody heart of a long-dead beast echoes like a war drum, stirring up spirits, monsters, and devils, whose dark histories and terrible secrets are woven into a rich tapestry of folklore. This is Douglas Ford at his absolute best, a tangled web of haunted history steeped in blood, grief, guilt, and terror. Destined to be one of the year’s best horror novels.”—Derik Cavignano, award-winning author of The Art of Dying and The Burying Point
“A delicious dark blend of Dark Academia, dark history, dark folklore, a touch of Hell House LLC, a dash of Sinners.

Douglas Ford welcomes 2026 with a chilling triumph, delivering a tale that proves, yet again, why his name echoes with reverence among modern horror aficionados. The Bloody Bucket is a masterclass in atmospheric dread, a story steeped in myth, folklore, and the uncanny pulse of the supernatural.
At the heart of the novel is Nat, whose dream job quickly curdles into a waking nightmare. Tasked with overseeing a college’s annual haunt, she steps into a role still shadowed by the disappearance of her predecessor—who entered the haunt one year earlier and never returned. What begins as a professional opportunity soon becomes a deeply personal reckoning, as Nat is forced to confront not only the sinister forces tied to the land but also the ghosts she carries within herself.
Ford’s prose is lush, evocative, and unflinchingly immersive. He drags the reader into the murky depths of Florida’s darkest swamps, where every page feels thick with humidity, history, and the whisper of something ancient stirring beneath the surface. The narrative simmers with tension, each chapter tightening the noose as Ford blends hauntings, occult secrets, buried curses, and the dangerous folklore of the deep South into a single intoxicating brew.
What makes The Bloody Bucket stand out is Ford’s uncanny ability to balance terror with beauty. His storytelling is both visceral and poetic, capturing the eerie charm of Southern Gothic horror while delivering a finale that is as breathtaking as it is terrifying. The ending hits with the force of a revelatio; painful, inevitable, and unforgettable.
Douglas Ford has crafted another gem, a tale that grips you from the first page and refuses to let go. The Bloody Bucket is not just a horror story; it’s a journey into the heart of a land where history bleeds, curses linger, and the past is never truly buried.
A must-read for anyone who craves horror that is rich, atmospheric, and hauntingly delicious.

4.5 ⭐
I fell in love with this author when I read their collection of short stories, and this novel has definitely cemented that love. This novel is weird and disorienting with such wonderful and bizarre characters!
Firstly though, I need to praise the writing style, which I find so good and it suits me perfectly! I can’t describe why, it just is.
Now for the story, it’s a mix of urban legends, occultism, dark magic, elements of santeria, supernatural, possession, cryptids even, but in such a way that it works. I didn’t question myself once about all those elements together because they are skillfully blended so that the story makes sense.
When I was still at the beginning of the book, I was reminded of “Big Fish” by Tim Burton (based on a novel), in the way how the reader find immersed completely in the story and falling for it completely, not doubting the veracity of the accounts once the attention has been grabbed.
That’s how I felt all the way through, completely fascinated by the characters and the stories they were narrating. I love how the author specified when it was a character’s narrative, as I felt like a little kid around the fire, eager to listen to the character’s story.
And the fulcrum of the story surrounding the bloody bucket was fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time, and so very actual! Women judged by the patriarchy just because they are successful and independent. What a shame. And yet, the women in this book are like that, independent and successful, with a lot of pride and fire!
One thing I need to say though is the animal death in this book which was very upsetting, although I understand the reason for it. So, consider this your trigger warning.
If you haven’t tried this author yet and are ready for something unsettling and different, this book might appeal to you.
Thanks to the author for a copy and this is my honest opinion.

The Bloody Bucket is an atmospheric blend of dark academia, folklore, and slow-burn horror. What starts as a dream job running a haunted attraction quickly spirals into something far more sinister, rooted in cursed land and buried history.
Ford excels at building unease — this is more creeping dread than jump scares. The setting feels alive, and the folklore elements give the horror real weight. It’s layered, eerie, and increasingly unsettling as it unfolds.
If you like your horror moody, mythic, and steeped in atmosphere, this one’s worth the read.

Another wild ride!
This is another great story! Douglas is so creative. I never know where his stories are going to take me.

The Bloody Bucket is a fantastic supernatural horror story set in a small Florida town at a community college.
Our protagonist, Nat, reluctantly takes a position as an adjunct professor teaching horror literature. She'll also be in charge of a haunted house the students put on every year to raise money for charity.
That's the setup for this wildly imaginative and terrifying novel. With so many great characters and creepy local lore, this book has surprises waiting around every horrific corner. From the legend of the titular establishment, The Bloody Bucket, to the mystery of what happened to the last professor from that class, to the (perhaps) unhinged unreliable narration of one of her students and even to a prison where a certain inmate has his own almost unbelievable yet horrific story, they will all flow together throughout the course of this book.
And as the pieces start falling into place, the picture it paints is one of racism, misogyny, and religious fervor going to the extreme. Those themes are all present and done in an unflinching manner which lends itself to this gruesome narrative.
There's also a bad ass librarian who plays a big role and I always appreciate a book where a librarian is a bad ass, because in real life they are!
We'll hear the stories of some of these characters told from their perspective and these chapters are as creepy as they are completely engaging. In fact, if any of them had a standalone book dedicated to them I'd be all in on reading. They're interesting but they also SEEM like these come from an unreliable narrator. But whether there's truth to these claims is something you'll have to read and find out for yourself.
There's never a dull moment in here which makes it one of those books you'll read far into the night with the doors firmly locked tight. It's a banger of a horror novel and I highly recommend it.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Douglas Ford has written a horror novel open to a myriad allegorical interpretations, some intentional, some not. Set in Florida (and the author's fictional Vissaria County), it beautifully combines dark academia themes with folk horror, demons, witchcraft, urban legends, spirits, racism, (also a zombie crow, a one-horned goat, and a huge alligator), to come up with a truly wonderful yet totally weird horror story of one young woman's trauma and her journey of overcoming it. Interspersed with engrossing narratives by the many characters populating the novel, the story starts slow but soon builds up to a engrossing tale hovering between fantasy and folklore, full of Easter Eggs and nods to the author's other books and stories (especially his "The Beasts of Vissaria County").
The cast is large, but this is clearly one woman's story. Hired to teach a course on horror and simultaneously supervise a student group tasked with the annual building of a haunted house, she immediately finds herself involved in several strange happenings and bizarre stories around her predecessor (he vanished the previous year while going through the haunt); her own dead mother (many flashbacks reveal a riveting background story of obscure family drama); a female student who claims to be possessed (the leader of the student group responsible for the haunt, and a major character in the story); the haunt itself (a creepy, liminal place); and, finally, a mysterious old man who's been raising rabbits while he's incarcerated in a Florida prison.
The story has so many unpredictable turns, reveals, and twists, it's impossible to summarize. It delivers a unique reading experience, which will either confuse impatient readers or wow more patient ones. The meaning of the title completely surprised me; the backstories entertained me; the ending made me truly happy.
I eagerly recommend the book to fans of weird horror, rural horror, and dark academia. I confess it wasn't easy to bid these characters farewell - hopefully we'll see them again!

The Bloody Bucket is a supernatural thrill ride that brings to focus some of the dark history and colorful culture that Florida holds.
Nat is a young teacher that is corralled into assisting with a paranormal class at the local college. The big “class project” every year is creating a haunted house that is themed and scares your pants off! Nat gets pulled into the lives of some of her students, while navigating her own dark past that manages to keep resurfacing.
Ford does a fantastic job luring the reader in. I didn’t want to put this story down. People joke with reading just one more chapter, then another. Expect to want to keep reading because you have to know what happens next! Folklore, both actual and fabricated give this story some bite! Prepare to delve deep in the dark swamp for this one! Truth is sometimes hard to swallow, but that doesn’t mean we can push it aside and forget. We are supposed to learn from our history and Ford does a marvelous job shining a spotlight on this one. Check out this awesome cover too! Book comes out 2/10!

This is such a sneaky little synopsis. It doesn't even hint at the depth and breadth of this novel.
Nat is a complicated character, supporting her equally complicated brother. She is hired as an adjunct professor to teach her favorite subject, horror literature. She will also be advisor to the students as they plan their annual haunted house. Her predecessor has disappeared, supposedly going into last year's haunt, never to be seen again.
What follows is an intricate plot involving ghosts, cursed land, childhood trauma, and so much more, woven together in a spellbinding tale of epic proportions that the author somehow makes seem effortless.
There is so much going on here that I am amazed at the author's skill to keep so many plates spinning in the air while never dropping one. The group of students is small enough that I did not feel overwhelmed by too many characters, especially considering one in particular plays a bigger role. This was a surprisingly dark tale and is my first 5 star read of the year.
My thanks to Douglas Ford for the paperback ARC.

Wow! What a wild ride. Ford blends Florida folklore, supernatural elements, ugly racial history, personal trauma, and weird creatures into a stew of horror that works on multiple levels. It's a creature feature, dysfunctional family saga, and a cautionary tale with narrators who may or may not be reliable. I'm impressed with how he included so many elements in one tale. Many of the subplots could be expanded to standalone novels.
The protagonist, Nat, is far from perfect. She's struggling to support her younger brother after the death of their father and takes on an adjunct teaching position of horror and the occult. The position includes riding herd on the construction of a haunted house by her students. No one wants to talk about her predecessor at the college or why he's no longer there.
The path from accepting the job to the eventual construction of the haunted house is weird and wonderful. There are crows, alligators, speakeasies, and even a guest appearance by a blues legend. I promise you won't be bored! Highly recommend.

Ford does it again! He takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinarily horrific. I am a long-time fan, but I believe this may be my favorite of his.
It’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed The Bloody Bucket. It is right up my alley: gothic with a dash of slasher. The writing hearkens Oates, Faulkner, and Poe and the content is vivid enough to find a place on the big screen.
Shared legend is interspersed with private traumas. The characters are well developed and Ford seamlessly dives into diverse perspectives that add rich nuances to the tale of “the bloody bucket.”
Each page brings the reader closer to a hidden treasure; one that exposes the lore and allure of historic and mythic Florida. I am not going to give away any spoilers; instead, I urge you to read The Bloody Bucket for yourself.
Get this one on your bookshelves. And get yourself a red raincoat!

Reading The Bloody Bucket is like sleepwalking into the dark and tangled cypress swamps of Old Florida and succumbing to a fever dream, where the bloody heart of a long-dead beast echoes like a war drum, stirring up spirits, monsters, and devils, whose dark histories and terrible secrets are woven into a rich tapestry of folklore. This is Douglas Ford at his absolute best, a tangled web of haunted history steeped in blood, grief, guilt, and terror. Destined to be one of the year’s best horror novels.

I absolutely loved this book! Florida Gothic at it's best!
Nat gets an offer for her dream job, but is it too good to be true? What exactly happened to her predecessor? No one offers any concrete explanations.
Ford mixes history, lore, and a bit of fantasy into the story. What comes out is nothing short of a masterpiece!

The storyline is as muddy and lackluster as the book cover. The author took a bunch of popular horror tropes, threw them all together, and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, the outcome was the literary equivalent of Nutriloaf.
