Sept. Updates: New Author Profile on Wrote a Book, Horror Movie Checklist & Live Readings

We’re fully into Spooky Season now and I’ve been busy decorating my shelves with skulls and potion bottles, working on my Halloween costume (hint, it includes wings), and promoting the perfect addition to everyone’s Fall reading list, “In The Night, In The Dark.”

A few exciting announcements!

I have a new author spotlight up on “Wrote A Book” where I talk about my writing history, process, and how my horror movie poems came together. You can check it out here: https://wroteabook.org/author-spotlight-allison-goldstein-about-in-the-night-in-the-dark/

Bear and Bird Boutique – All you South Florida ghouls already know about TATE’S Comics + Bear & Bird Gallery, it’s Broward’s go-to spot for comics, toys, outsider art, and all kinds of incredible pop culture memorabilia – and now you can find me there too! “In The Night, In The Dark” is available for purchase at both the Bear and Bird Gallery in Lauderhill, FL and Schenectady, NY.

Are you ready to step into the dark? I’m actively working on some live book readings and signings for “In The Night, In The Dark,” just in time for Halloween, including October dates in Miami and Delray Beach. Stay tuned and all will be revealed soon….

I’ve also been working on some fun Halloween-inspired designs, like this Horror Movie Night Checklist – because the only thing I love more than a spooky to-do list is checking the items off one at a time (so satisfying). What’s your must-haves for a horror movie watch party?

Allison Goldstein’s Poetry Chapbook – In The Night, In The Dark is Available Now!

In The Night, In The Dark Poems by Allison Goldstein - Book Cover

I’ve waited for this day for years and I can’t believe it’s finally here. My first poetry chapbook, In The Night, In The Dark, is live and available from Bottlecap Press!

A haunting ode to Universal Monsters, 80s slashers, and Final Girls, In The Night, In The Dark is a razor-sharp collection of ekphrastic poems inspired by classic 20th century horror films. From The Bride of Frankenstein’s first hiss to Pamela Voorhees searching for her son’s lost heart, each poem explores the cinematic chasm between dread and desire.

Dark, witty and unsettling, the poems reimagine horror films not as passive nightmares, but emotional reckonings, including “Dracula,” “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” “Night of the Living Dead”, and “Suspiria”. Allison Goldstein’s deftly crafted collection meditates on the transformational impact of our collective terror – both on and off the screen.

Are you ready to step back into the dark and confront what haunts you?
