The October 2020 Edition of The Big Thrill

October kicks off the spooky season, and what better way to celebrate than with chilling new reads from some of the genre’s most thrilling writers. Andrew Pyper delivers a chilling tale of a First Family haunted by their dead son, Dean Koontz presents a terrifying parallel universe, Jeremy Robert Johnson gives us a riveting teen nightmare, and Tim Waggoner debuts his first how-to compendium on writing horror. This month, we get up close with Lisa Unger, J. J. Hensley, Kyle Mills, Antony Johnston and many more! Plus, New York Times bestselling author Lee Child turns the tables on his biographer, Heather Martin, for an exclusive interview about…well, Lee Child, of course. The October issue of The Big Thrill is live now—and it’s scary good!
