, “My kid wants more of your books,”

​Before I crash tonight, I just want to say something.

I love writing horror. It’s my first language. It’s the thing that lives in my bones.

But when parents walk up to my table and say

, “My kid wants more of your books,” that hits different.

You have no idea how cool that is to me.

Scaring adults is one thing.  

Earning a kid’s imagination? That’s sacred.

If you’re a parent who lets your kids read, imagine, explore weird worlds, ask big questions — thank you. Seriously. Thank you.

Stories saved me.  

If my books get to be part of a kid’s imagination, even a little bit? That’s the greatest thing I could ever do.

Keep reading.  

Keep imagining.  

Keep thinking for yourselves.

That’s the real rebellion. 🐐📚
