Welcome to the sixth year of Celebrating All Things Spooky! Last year’s celebration went well, so let’s continue the tradition with more horror game reviews and another video game giveaway.

But first…

If you enjoy horror stories inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, be sure to check out my novella The Book at Dernier, which follows a scholar digging into dark secrets that should have remained hidden, and my novelette It Came Back, which is about a young woman who uncovers a deadly secret in her family’s past.

But if you like your spookiness to be a bit more lighthearted, my novella The Zombie Mishap is a comedy about the misadventures of two scientists after they accidentally create a zombie.

In addition to these, I also have a few short horror stories available as well: “Rokurokubi” in Wicked Words Quarterly, “Sand” (another Lovecraftian one) in The Mad Scientist Journal, and “The Artist” in Final Masquerade.

While I’ve included the Amazon links here, information on all the ways to read my fiction can be found here.

And now let’s move on to the free games.

Another Horror Game Contest

After taking a look at the way things worked out last year, I’ve increased the range of potential prizes:

• Yomawari: Night Alone
• Detention
• Dead Age
• Lakeview Cabin Collection
• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location
• $15 sent through PayPal
• You pick a game for me to review!

These copies will all be Steam codes.

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. I will start playing it in November.

Now, as with the previous two contests, your participation in discussions on my blog posts throughout the month of October will determine your score.

Rules

• No purchase is necessary.
• Only comments made between October 1, 2018 at 12:00 PM EST and October 31, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST will be counted.

• 1 non-spam, non-anonymous comment on a Celebrating All Things Spooky blog post = 2 points.
