Ghoulish Book Festival Announces Johnny Compton as 2023 Guest of Honor

We are thrilled to reveal that next year’s Ghoulish Book Festival will celebrate five guests of honor. We have already announced Trevor Henderson and Hailey Piper, and today we are announcing GoH #3: Johnny Compton!

Johnny Compton (he/him) is a San Antonio based author whose short stories have appeared in several publications since 2006, including PseudopodStrange Horizons and The No Sleep Podcast. His fascination with frightening fiction started when his kindergarten teacher played a record of the classic ghost story “The Golden Arm” for her class. The Spite House is his debut novel through Tor Nightfire.


The Ghoulish Book Festival will occur on April 14, 15, and 16 2023 in downtown San Antonio, TXBadges are available now.
