Bloody Caleb SPOILER Interview at HorrorAddicts.net!

For those who have finished Lilitu: Bloody Caleb, Emerian Rich was good enough to interview me at HorrorAddicts.net. However, readers should be warned that it's a SPOILER Interview, and is meant to be read after you've finished reading Bloody Caleb, not before!

Once again, heavy, heavy spoilers. If you're good with that, you can find the interview here: https://horroraddicts.wordpress.com/2025/11/26/an-interview-with-horror-author-jonathan-fortin/

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season.

To promote the book, I'm going to be doing a few events this month.

I'll also be reading at Litcrawl with the Bay Area chapter of the Horror Writers Association! We'll be reading Saturday 10/25/25 8pm - 9pm at Silver Sprocket in San Francisco.

Finally, we don't have a flyer for this yet, but I'll be tabling at the Hillsdale Barnes & Noble in San Mateo on Saturday 11/8 at 1pm - 3pm. Alas, no live reading, but I will be selling & signing copies.

Until next time!

FREE BOOK: SAINTKILLER: A Lilitu Novel

Enjoy Gothic Horror? Then check out SAINTKILLER, a FREE NOVEL I wrote so people can check out the LILITU universe. At 45k words it's much shorter than the main books, making it perfect for those of you with ADD (hi!), but is still substantial enough to feel like a real book. This also lets it be a more focused "pure" horror novel. I'm really proud of how it turned out, and hope you'll give it a read -- whether you read the first one or not! It's designed to work for newcomers and fans alike.

Summary:

"Three years ago, the Nightfall blotted out the sun, allowing demons, vampires, and satyrs to take over Europe and enslave its mortal populace. One such mortal is 23-year-old Sybil Ashwell, a timid English maid whose fear of her demonic rulers is matched only by her lust for them.

When Sybil is purchased by a new master, she is whisked away to a labyrinthine Edinburgh mansion surrounded by ravenous monsters. Worse, Sybil soon learns that the mansion’s dark halls will play host to an unholy ritual…one performed by Mother Pursha, a succubus nun whose god may be the most terrifying being in the universe.

With time running out before the ritual completes, Sybil must overcome both her fear and her desire in order to escape…but her only way out may lead her deeper into darkness. For locked deep within the mansion’s dungeon is a succubus who wants freedom just as much as Sybil does. A succubus with crimson red hair. A succubus who Sybil’s captors call the Saintkiller…

SAINTKILLER is a self-contained Gothic Horror novel set within the nightmarish alternate 19th century world of LILITU, designed to satisfy fans and new readers alike."

I really hope you'll give it a read. It's pretty dark, so fair warning. If you like what you read, don't forget to pre-order Lilitu: Bloody Caleb, coming out October 3rd!
