Sidenote, I re-upped my HWA membership after many, many, maaaany moons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, I got to talk about <em>creepypasta<\/em> on Gavin Purcell&#8217;s very cool podcast, Way Too Interested. The creepypasta expert was the wonderful Lucia Peters. It&#8217;s a fun podcast where you basically are interested in a weird topic, and Gavin invites on an expert in said topic, then you all&#8230; talk about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/waytoointerested.com\/creepypasta\">Check it out here<\/a>. Or don&#8217;t. I&#8217;m not your dad. Yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And over at LitReactor, Gabino Iglesias talks about the books he&#8217;s looking forward to that are coming out in 2022 &#8212; some real classy picks on there from the likes of Alma Katsu, Paul Tremblay, Ursula Vernon as T. Kingfisher, Clay McLeod Chapman, Eric LaRocca, Cassandra Khaw, and more. &#8220;And more,&#8221; by the way, is a not-subtle hint that maybe just <em>maaaaaybe<\/em> <strong>Wayward<\/strong>, the sequel to <strong>Wanderers<\/strong>, is on that list, <a href=\"https:\/\/litreactor.com\/columns\/15-books-im-looking-forward-to-in-2022\">which you can find here<\/a>. And here I note too that Gabino has a fistful-of-teeth book coming out soon, a shiv-in-the-kidney read that will blow your ass away &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hachettebookgroup.com\/titles\/none\/the-devil-takes-you-home\/9780316426916\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Devil Takes You Home<\/a>, out the same day as Wayward, August 2nd, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, speaking of Wayward, you can preorder it at B&amp;N today using the code PREORDER25, for 25% off.
