I've read many of Fracassi's novels, loved them all.

This is my favorite.

In about a month my new horror novel, SARAFINA, releases in the US & UK.

This one has flown under the radar a bit, but I sincerely believe it's my best novel to date, and one I'm very proud of.

It's also really damn scary.

FAIL-SAFE goes into production this summer and will be released by Sony Pictures and be produced by J.J. Abrams, directed by J.T. Mollner, and star Oscar winner Brie Larson.

I hope folks will check out these stories and the others from the collection.

My debut collection, BEHOLD THE VOID, contains nine stories and an introduction by horror legend Laird Barron.

Two of the stories are being adapted into feature films.

ALTAR is in post production and will be released by studio A24.

I recently listened to A Child Alone with Strangers by Philip Fracassi @pfracassi.bsky.social and didn't follow up after.
This book is awesome! The story is easy to get yourself lost in. There's a story behind the story and maybe another one inside that hidden story.
One of his very best!

started "the autumn springs retirement home massacre" by philip fracassi (hi @pfracassi.bsky.social!) and it's really nice so far -- i LOVED "boys in the valley" (about vampires attacking an orphanage) and i think he has a knack for these settings where people must care for each other so directly

Look forward to hanging out with Jo Kaplan and Brian Asman in a few weeks to promote Jo's upcoming release from CLASH Books, THE MIDNIGHT MUSE.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, come by and say hello and grab some signed books.

When it comes to this industry it’s all about perseverance, especially on the rough days. That said, be kind to yourself and give yourself a guilt-free break when you need it.

I had a dream that someone sent me a screenshot of a 1-star review of one of my books and the review was "Even the periods were poorly written" and in my dream I thought that was pretty funny.

I am almost done reading The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre. First book I have read by you but it will, most certainly, not be my last! I am looking forward to your oeuvre entertaining and scaring me!
Thank you for this book!

@pfracassi.bsky.social is a modern master - chilling, heartbreaking, prolific. I don't get every deluxe edition from all the authors I follow, but I really wanted these lovely @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social titles: BEHOLD THE VOID, BENEATH A PALE SKY, NO ONE IS SAFE!, and the new FOUR TO DIE FOR.

Reminder while we're between two consecutive Fridays the 13th: @pfracassi.bsky.social's slasher novel THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE is excellent gateway horror for folks who love thrillers. Fact is, it's not about slashing so much as how to live when you're facing down death every day.
