It’s a new anthology, The Vampire Connoisseur, and I’M IN IT! OMGosh, I’m a published author! (Squeal!) I’ve read all 16 vampire stories. They’re all good, fun, enjoyable, and not your typical vampire tales. Yes, I have some faves:
“The Red Angel” by Lisa Hario because it’s kinda sweet, but it’s still a horror story.
“Poem of the Riverbank” by Gary Robbe because of the way the author achieved a sense of dread and because the prose felt so refined.
“Parasites: A Tale of Route 66” by B.J. Thrower because the ending was truly horror-filled but not in a fangs sort of way.
My story, “The Sun Sets Nonetheless,” is about a Midwestern man fighting off vampires. It was inspired by a wind gust that blew white petals off a flowering tree in our back yard. The image stuck with me, and I wrote a dark story around the image.
Okay, here it goes, my very first shameless self-promotion: Please pick up a copy of The Vampire Connoisseur, here’s a link, and it’d be extra cool if you could leave a review on your fave review site.
Have a fang-tastic New Year!
Priscilla Bettis

Thank you, Priscilla! It has. I was invited to participate in an upcoming horror anthology with 12 other authors. Black Hare Press is keeping the title and cover under wraps at the moment, so I can’t tell any more than it’s going to be mind-bending. 🙂
