What a way to start October! I’m so thrilled to have the master of mayhem, the high priest of horror, the incredible Michael West here with me today to promote his new book, The Wide Game. Before I let Michael have the stage, let’s take a look at his new book!

On the advice of his wife, Paul Rice is making plans to attend his 10th year High School reunion. Returning to his boyhood home of Harmony, Indiana, he finds that he is still haunted by memories of that time-memories of Deidra, his first love, and memories of the Wide Game. It was ten years ago that Paul and his friends watched their day of fun become a race for their lives, a fight for their very souls.
Now, as he meets the survivors of that day once more, Paul makes a chilling discovery: the incomprehensible forces that toyed with them have yet to finish playing their own game.
The Wide Game is one of the Harmony, Indiana horror novels from Michael West, which also include Cinema of Shadows and Spook House.
To kick off October right, I asked Michael to give me his top ten horror picks – either short stories or novels. So from a truly twisted mind, here’s your suggested reading list for the month!
