Welcome to my nightmares.

A little song about me...

There's some seriously bizarre shit about the name "Tobin" when you look at sources like the Urban Dictionary.

I'm not saying they're not true, but they are bizarre.

Anyway, if you want to know a little bit more about Tobin...well, my buddy Gary made a song.

(...and...trigger warning...this song is in about as much poor taste as anything else pertaining to me...)

GEORGE WATERTOWER AND OTHER CHILDHOOD TERRORS. This is an anthology I was invited to (as a Watertower Hill author, and it's all about urban legends...those ghosts and hauntings and killers' stories we all heard around a camp fire or at a sleep over, created to scare kids straight...or scare them out of their minds.

My expertly edited voice files should be back (thanks, Gary!) and ready for upload, and now, I wait with supreme anticipation for the brilliant Jenn Johnson to bring the actual stories to life.

The deadline for the incredible Jenn Johnson to complete the narration of UGLY STORIES, Vol 1 (which means it should be available roughly April 7 or so...)
UPDATE: serious delays on this one, looking like it'll be available around May 11 or so.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: turns out, May 16 was the magic day. Not bad...ONLY five weeks late!

I'm really stepping outside my comfort zone, but the UGLY STORIES collections have short notes about each story, detailing either how I came to write the story, or how I feel about it, or some other info. I thought, for the audiobook versions, why not record those personal recollections myself. So, today, I got down all my parts for the audiobook.

Anything that happens to be noteworthy in the otherwise dull life of this horror author will be noted down for posterity here. How exciting!
