Sorry to interrupt your social media doom-scrolling! I just wanted to remind you that my horror short story collection, WHERE THE SHADOWS ARE SHOWN, is available for purchase on September 30 through Godless.com (ebook only), Amazon (paperback and ebook), or get a signed copy through JoshsWorstNightmare.com (email josh [at] joshsworstnightmare [dot] com).

Whether you asked for it or not, WHERE THE SHADOWS ARE SHOWN contains most of the short stories I’ve written from 2017 to 2022, both published and unpublished (though I’m saving a few of them for my forthcoming eco-horror collection).

If you’re still on the fence, in the latest episode of Josh’s Worst Nightmare Oddcast I answer the age-old question “Where do you get your ideas?” by going over the (spoiler-free!) inspiration of each and every damn story in the book.

While art is subjective, I’m confident enough with WHERE THE SHADOWS ARE SHOWN to make a money-back guarantee to all you Dark Readers: If you don’t find one story you really get a kick out of and one story that totally turns you off, I will refund your purchase.

I, of course, have no idea which stories will have what effect on you. In fact, thus far reviewers have favorited some of the stories I consider my weakest, while totally ignoring the ones I think are my best. Which doesn’t matter to me in the slightest because all I care about, Dark Reader, is that just one of my scribblings resonates with you and another disturbs you.

So, I hope you’ll check out the trailer for WHERE THE SHADOWS ARE SHOWN, listen to the podcast episode, buy, read, and then bury your copy of the book somewhere deep in the forest for the next hapless soul to stumble upon in their darkest hour.

Now I’ll quit bothering you so you can get back to having arguments with strangers you slightly disagree with on the internet.  

Darkly,

Josh Schlossberg
