After two years on the shelf and coffee table, I am finally reading from the Book of Mythicality. My wife and I started watching this show and 2017, and recently got back into it heavily (thanks to quarantining). Who else enjoys the show? And yes, one of my go-to bottoms is a Grinch themed Christmas pajama. You're welcome. The more you know! 😉 #gmm #goodmythicalmorning #rhettandlink #bookofmythicality #rehttmclaughlin #linkneal #currentlyreading #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookstagram #coffeetablebooks #curiosity #friendship #creativity #tomfoolery
This one drops late summer/early fall. It is, of course, part of #Twenty digital series, and connects to the universe found in several other stories, including #SquirmingDisease. I should have digital ARCs ready for it in April. #scifi #fantasy #postapocalyptic #endworld #newworld #aidenmerchant #indie #indiewriter #indieauthor #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #horror #suspense #booksofinstagram #igreads #LydiasShadow #interstate81 #coronareads #coronavirus #selfisolationreads
Don't forget: I have something releasing every month of 2020 (most of which are short stories, part of my Twenty digital series). // In May, this short will be unleashed for free download. It is a gritty crime/drama about a young woman's escape from sex slavery. // If you want to review this (or any other release - #Pray just came out this month, and #squirmingdisease will be April), send me a DM. #tenebris #crime #drama #twenty #promotehorror #horrorreads #crimereads #suspense #horrorbloggertribe #horrorishealthy #thedoglives #booksofinstagram #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #indieauthor #aidenmerchant #indie #goodreads
I am in the front matter of the new Gemma Amor novel, White Pines! I did a beta read on this a couple months ago, and it was so awesome being able to see this book in its early drafting. Now, I'm reading it again to see what all got changed after my beta spin. I will be featuring it (and my review) in the June/July issue of SCP Magazine (@snowcappedpress). @manylittlewords #whitepines #GemmaAmor #supernatural #horror #suspense #folkhorror #fantasy #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaholic #betaread #CruelWorksOfNature #griefisafalsegod #tillthescoreispaid #dearlaura #snowcappedpress #scpmagazine
I loved Creature, but was less enamoured in Slash. Maybe because this one was written to be its own Halloween or Friday the 13th type book, and I'm not a fan of slasher horror. My review will come to Dead Head Reviews soon. #bookshelf #bookreviewer #bookreviews #horror #horrorbloggertribe #horrorreads #slasher #finalgirl #monster #flametreepress #HunterShea #creature #slash #bookaholic #bookaddict
Don't forget: I have something releasing every month of 2020 (most of which are short stories, part of my Twenty digital series). // In April, this one will finally be unleashed. Some of my loyal readers read early versions of it last year, so it's about time I get it out there. // If you want to review this (or any other release - #Pray just came out last week), send me a DM. #squirmingdisease #twenty #horror #bodyhorror #bugs #insects #promotehorror #horrorreads #horrorbloggertribe #horrorishealthy #booksofinstagram #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #indieauthor #aidenmerchant #indie #goodreads
Onto Volume 5! I have been loving this Locke and Key series. The Netflix adaptation is a lot different - and, no surprise, the comics are better - but I'm enjoying both. I think this series is my favorite from Hill, aside from N0S4A2. #joehill #gabrielrodriguez #lockeandkey #comics #graphicnovel #Netflix #horror #fantasy #darkmagic #n0s4a2 #constantreader #bookaholic #bookaddict #2020goodreads #bookstagram #horrorreads #horrorishealthy #currentlyreading
The pocket edition of #HorrificHolidays received a facelift for its second printing. What do you think? If you have the first printing, it is now very limited in existence. #shortstories #horror #horrorreads #holidays #christmas #newyearseve #valentinesday #thanksgiving #horrorishealthy #aidenmerchant #halloween #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #indie #indieauthor #horrorstories
My new physical/digital magazine, SCP Magazine (in connection to @snowcappedpress), is in the layout stages for its summer debut. I'm looking for writer contributions, including reviews, columns, essays, and original stories. Want to be a part of this? Message me today! Some details can be found on my website. #snowcappedpress #scpmagazine #indiepress #fictionbooks #fictionpublicity #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #booksofinstagram #bookreviewer #bookrecommendations #submissions #storysubmission #writerswanted #constantreader
A couple of hours ago, I posted pictures of all my trade paperback releases. Here, you see (most) of my pocket editions. I currently do not have my own copy of #Pray, and #Nineteen was never made available in this size (due to cost). I should also note the new printing of #HorrificHolidays got a facelift, as seen here. #aidenmerchant #DeadAsSoonAsBorn #KillforThem #shortstorycollection #shortstories #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #indie #indieauthor #horror #crime #suspense #fantasy #scifi #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaholic #constantreader
Fun with trade editions! All of these have been released in the past year. I guess I've been a little busy. I will be posting my pocket editions next. #aidenmerchant #DeadAsSoonAsBorn #KillforThem #Nineteen #HorrificHolidays #Pray #horrorreads #suspensefulbooks #drama #crime #fantasy #scifi #indie #indieauthor #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #author #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookaddict
My new novelette, #Pray, is available now in pocket and trade paperback via Lulu. It will appear on other online retailers shortly. The digital edition should be out this weekend on Amazon. I've been slacking recently - life's been kicking my ass! #horror #monsters #monsterstory #horrorreads #horrorbloggertribe #aidenmerchant #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #snowcappedpress
