Book launch on Thursday

Local author Rebecca Cuthbert has published her second book, “Creep This Way: How to Become a Horror Writer with 24 Tips to Get You Ghouling,” which is out now from Seamus & Nunzio Productions.

Cuthbert’s first book, a poetry collection titled “In Memory of Exoskeletons,” was published in 2023 with Alien Buddha Press.

“Creep This Way” is half memoir, half craft text, with short vignettes and practical advice for writers looking to find their footing in the horror genre. Readers will find helpful tips on attending conventions, finding community online, creating author websites, and more. Each chapter ends with a section asking readers to try the methods for themselves.

A book launch will be held in Fenton Hall, room 105, at 5 p.m. Thursday. After a short reading and Q&A, books will be available for purchase and refreshments will be shared.

Additional planned book events for Cuthbert include the Fredonia Literature Festival, or Fred Lit Fest, on April 26 from noon to 5 p.m. in the Williams Center at SUNY Fredonia; and the Nightscape Studios Horror Festival on Oct. 12 in the Northwest Arena in Jamestown.
