About

You’re in for a bloody good time with Craig DiLouie and Emily A. Weedon, as they discuss their classic stories of slashers and vampires. DiLouie’s The Summer Fun Massacre follows a Texas deputy investigating a new massacre at a summer camp where a deadly tragedy occurred nine years earlier and his connection to the case. Weedon’s Hemo Sapiens follows a local police officer whose pregnant wife frequents a medspa that may have ties to a series of blood-drained murders. Together, they’ll explore the dark side of horror, bloodlust and the things that lurk just beneath the surface.

Surviving the massacre is just the beginning in this razor-sharp summer-camp slasher with a bloody twist from horror master Craig DiLouie.The Summer Fun Massacre swings back and forth like a bladed, unstoppable pendulum, gory slasher tale to eerie mystery and back again.” —New York Times bestselling author Peter Clines It’s 1992, and in the heat of Texas, camp Summer Fun rests by a crystalline lake surrounded by a shady forest. The counselors have set out the kayaks, prepped the kitchens, and refurbished the cabins.

These women are out for blood. “Filmic, funny and genuinely terrifying, Hemo Sapiens is part detective story, part vampire myth and an all-biting (pun intended) exploration of the horrors of pregnancy, and the power of sisterhood.” — Paola Ferrante, author of Her Body Among Animals Detective Luke Stockton is preparing for his first child with his wife, Beatrice, but balancing work and home is a challenge as she is behaving with increasing strangeness. Beatrice begins to frequent a medspa offering mysterious prenatal checkups, leech treatments, and vampire facials.
