Hey, friends. I hope I find you well and you've had a good and peaceful week. In just over a month, my debut novel, HOUSE OF BAD MEMORIES, will have been out one year. Time flies when you're having fun and podcasting and writing, huh? To commemorate the occasion, we are running one hell of a competition at This Is Horror. You have the chance to win a signed A3 print of the cover art from legendary horror artist, Vincent Chong, in addition to various goodies from Michael David Wilson (hey, that's me) and Cemetery Gates Media. Find all the details about the House of Bad Memories competition here. To be able to take full advantage of the competition, you need to have read House of Bad Memories. See, the artwork has A LOT of easter eggs and the competition is about finding as many as you can. To make things a little easier for those who haven't read the book and indeed for those who want to re-experience it as an audiobook, I'm trying something I've never done before. Below there are 10 codes for the House of Bad Memories audiobook that you can redeem.
