Linda Addison introduces:
Beatrice Winifred Iker (eye-kerr) grew up in the picturesque (and undoubtedly haunted) valley of the Great Smoky Mountains. As a child, they spent an incalculable time in their grandmother’s living room staring at the unending ridges and peaks; eventually, they decided to write about this bewitching place.

It’s time for Summer Reading, and we have some new authors for you to acquaint yourself with. What’s fun this month is there are links so that you can read pieces by Phoenix Alexander and K.M. Szpara directly. Save the links on your phone and read them wherever you’re traveling!

So much good reading this spring! We’ve all been catching up on reading for the Bram Stoker Awards® and reading new releases in journals, books, and elsewhere. Hope you enjoy this month’s lineup of writers of dark things. The excerpts alone have added a few books to my stack.
