Yes, it’s that time of year again! Welcome to the 2019 run of Celebrating All Things Spooky!
Special Events
Let’s start off with a sale. From October 5 – October 31, eBook copies of my horror novella The Book at Dernier and horror novelette It Came Back will be on sale for $0.99 at Amazon.
Of course, my zombie comedy The Zombie Mishap and my short stories, all of which are listed here, are available as well.
Prefer physical copies? I’ll be signing copies of The Book at Dernier, The Zombie Mishap, and the pulp fiction collection Domino Lady Volume 3 at Wellsboro’s BookFest on October 19.
And if you’re here for video games, don’t forget that this year I also worked on Two Till Midnight, a horror game available now from Steam.
Here on the site, October will once again be filled with horror game reviews and news… and of course, a contest!
2019’s Celebrating All Things Spooky Contest
This year, the available prizes are:
- Two Till Midnight (gift sent through Steam)
- Yomawari: Night Alone (gift sent through Steam)
- Yomawari: Midnight Shadows (gift sent through Steam)

- Dead Age (Steam code)
- Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location (Steam code)
- Lakeview Cabin Collection (Steam code)

- You pick a game for me to review!
If you choose the review option, your chosen game must be something I either own or is easily obtainable, which you can discuss with me beforehand. It must be a single game, not a collection (although the chosen game can be part of a collection). I will start playing it in November.

If you participated last year, this probably looks pretty similar. Any questions? Let me know in the comments.
Let the celebration begin!
” I will start playing it in November.”
Sooo when would you otherwise start playing Paper Mario: Color Splash?
It’s not exactly scheduled in somewhere, so… “eventually.”
I am laughing at your new “not a collection” rule. Muhahahahahaha!
Yes, while you getting two games as your review choice last year wasn’t too bad, it did make me realize that I’d left a dangerous loophole in the rules. XD
It’s really generous how you do this every year. If anybody hasn’t played Detention yet, I’d recommend picking that as it’s simply amazing. Easily one of the best horror games out there.
Detention was fantastic. I keep hoping the developers will re-release their second game on Steam. That whole disaster was so unfortunate.
God, me too. It has been so long though, I almost give up hope. They did put Detention on mobile phones recently though so they are still busy looking at older works. I wish I’d know about it and gotten it before it was removed.
I saw them promoting a film adaptation of Detention, too, so that’s pretty cool.
I was following Devotion news up to its launch and was happy to see all the positive reviews it was getting, but I made the mistake of deciding to wait instead of getting it at launch.
A film adaption would be way too cool. I didn’t know they were doing that.
Maybe one day they will restore it. It’s surprising what does eventually make its way to Steam.
Here’s the information I found about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detention_(2019_film)
Oh it’s out already? Thank you so much for link. I gotta watch it.
You’re welcome!
Do comments on this post count for the +2 points? Because I WILL win and I WILL make you play Downpour.
And do replies count? Because I just realized there’s a visual novel that I would love to see your reaction to, just because it’s so strange and yet I love it so much. However, it’s hard to find a copy of, and some copies include hentai scenes. :/
Yes, comments on this post count for +2 points, and replies count as well.
Hey, one of the games I’ll be discussing later this week is a horror visual novel with hentai scenes (and they make the whole thing even more disturbing), so don’t let that stop you! Although do keep in mind that if you win, the game you pick for your review must be easily obtainable.
