Grab They're Watching Free on Kindle Until 6/18 | Eliza Jabore talks Backstabbers | Dan Howarth talks Lionhearts and Drone


Hello, friends.

I hope this email finds you well and you're having a wonderful day. If not, perhaps a free book could add a little fun and mischief into your life? That is mischief of the ritualistic, occult horror variety because They're Watching is FREE on Amazon Kindle right now until Thursday, June 18, 2026, 11:59 PM PDT. Here's a little blurb to get you in the mood.

“Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella have designed this highly entertaining and fast-moving thriller, an intricate little mind game with an unlikely hero and elements of both mystery and horror that will keep you guessing until the last page.”
S.P. Miskowski, author of I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU

From the hosts of This Is Horror Podcast comes a dark thriller of obsession, paranoia, and voyeurism.

After relocating to a small coastal town, Brian discovers a hole that gazes into his neighbour’s bedroom. Every night she dances and he peeps. Same song, same time, same wild and mesmerising dance. But soon Brian suspects he’s not the only one watching and she’s not the only one being watched.

They’re Watching is The Wicker Man meets Body Double with a splash of Suspiria.

You can grab They're Watching on Amazon US here.

You can grab They're Watching on Amazon UK here.

And of course you can grab it at every other Amazon site, too.

What's on This Is Horror Podcast

Since we last spoke we have eclipsed 666 episodes of This Is Horror Podcast. Renowned Satanist and criminal deviant Dan Howarth was the headliner for episode 666 of the podcast. Okay, so maybe Dan is neither a renowned Satanist or a criminal(ly convicted) deviant but he is a dear friend and extremely talented author. We spoke about his latest novella, DRONE, and his award-nominated novel, LIONHEARTS. Honestly, the only real crime is how many people haven't read Lionhearts yet. A timely cutting-edge thriller in the vein of This Is England. One of the best books I read this year.

And from episode 666 we jump into 667. This time with debut author Eliza Jabore. This is a two-parter so keep your eyes out for episode 668 dropping next week. We spoke about Eliza's writing journey thus far, globetrotting, and her debut, Backstabbers.

Both episodes are available in audio right now and will be available in video over on YouTube soon.

TIH 666: Dan Howarth on Drone, Lionhearts, and Northern Republic

TIH 667: Eliza Jabore on Backstabbers, Writing Through Motherhood, and Getting Stranded in the Jungle
