One Hell of a Month

Unfortunately, it’s been an unpleasant month quite literally from the start. The worst of it is that the collection I had due out from Cemetery Dance in only a couple of months (I literally already had the edits sent back) has been cancelled. This is entirely due to changes in the company’s paperback line rather than any personal/professional beef, but it’s still incredibly disappointing. That said, I’ve been been invited to bring up the book there again at the end of the year if it hasn’t been picked up elsewhere, so there is that.

Meanwhile, The Terror at Miskatonic Falls is now due to drop on February 7th, so there’s at least still something to look forward to.

Ginger Nuts of Horror (Interview) and a Poem

Just a super-brief update to share my interview on Ginger Nuts of Horror: https://gnofhorror.com/horror-author-interview-patrick-rutigliano/?fbclid=IwAR2YW0NrwrJIoJCwllF0_eKfvDBSACp_FLTXTYs9is2fhKsXdrWouYA-Qjk

I’ve been working like mad the last several months, and my most recent project (a novella collection) is getting close to done. One more novella to go…

A Brief Update

Hi, folks. Radio silence to the contrary, I’ve been very busy the last several months. I now have enough short stories roughed out to probably fill two collections when they’re polished up, and I’m halfway through work on a novella collection. On the publishing side, my poem “Whitebait” appeared in Brigid Gate’s, Dangerous Waters: Deadly Women of the Sea, anthology. I also have a poem (“The Order”) slated for release in the next issue of Witch House Magazine. Weirder still, I have three poems in the upcoming The Terror at Miskatonic Falls anthology from Cemetery Dance after twelve long years of seeing it go through development hell (kudos to Kevin Lucia for keeping that one alive even after Shroud folded). I’ll drop the applicable links below (and one for “The Last Look,” just for good measure–much love to you if you leave a rating and/or review).

Release Day!

The Last Look is officially released! It was one hell of a long road getting here, but it was worth it. Much love to Bleeding Edge Books for putting it out and to every one of you fine folks who decides to pick up a copy. Happy reading!

Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BX6Q21ZD/

The Last Look is Available for Pre-Order!

The day has finally come! My novella, The Last Look is now available for pre-order on Kindle with its release proper on the platform coming March 4h. I really hope you guys dig this one, and a million thanks to anyone kind enough to drop a review!

A First Look at The Last Look

Things on The Last Look are moving ahead nicely. I just sent the edits back to the publisher today, and I have the book’s cover available for you fine folks to check out. Needless to say, I can’t wait to get this one out to you all.

Another Book Finds a Home

Hi folks,

So, as you can probably gather from the title, I’ve got more good news on the publishing front. My novella “The Last Look” has found a home with Bleeding Edge Books! Needless to say, I’m very excited to get this story of mine to you all. I’ll continue to update you on progress as it occurs. Until then, cheers!

A Poem and Announcement

It’s been a while since I last posted here, but I’ve got some good news to report. Firstly, my poem “The Gate” is available to read for free over at Witch House Magazine (as is the whole issue). You can check it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wBLM1NU2Hsn-nSli7Sd8JYxklplq3JuS/view

And in truly crazy news, I have officially sold my short story collection “The Neonate and Other Anomalies” to the good folks at Cemetery Dance! Needless to say, I’m still reeling in a bit of shock from that one. If all goes well, the book should become available in 2024. I’ll keep you posted.

Direct purchases through the publisher mean more money in authors’ pockets, so I recommend doing so whenever possible.

In other good news, the (very) Lovecraft-inspired poem I had picked up by Hypnos Magazine is also available in Volume 9 Issue 2, so give that a look here if you’re so inclined:

Meanwhile, the wait on (two) of the books I submitted four months ago continues…
