If you’re a horror fan, you have a soft spot in your heart for the legendary horror magazine, Rue Morgue. They interviewed me about Girl in the Creek, which was thrilling. It’s so exciting to see my book cover up on their front page:

Even more amazing was the writer’s kind words about the novel:
“GIRL IN THE CREEK is an outstanding book, proving that Wagner is a horror writer at the top of her game, with a refined, assured voice deftly executing exactly what she aims to do.”

Hooray!!! I’m going to be happy-dancing the rest of the day.

Some pretty exciting updates have happened in the past month. For one, I’ve learned I’m a finalist for the Locus award for Best Editor! I’m so proud of the work I do at Nightmare Magazine, so it’s fantastic to be recognized.

Another amazing thing: Girl in the Creek was given a STARRED REVIEW in the Library Journal!!! The reviewer called it “A tightly written master class in horror, this is a short, well-paced novel where every detail matters.” You can check out the full review here.

I admit I saved that clipping to read and re-read. I saw a review at a different publication (no names, but its initials might be PW) definitely missed the point of the novel. I know this book won’t be for everyone, but I’m so happy one reviewer loved it!
