First Friday Frights is a new monthly reading event at Ghoulish Books (San Antonio’s very own horror bookstore)! On the first Friday of every month, three different writers will read spooky stories to an audience in the backyard area of Ghoulish Books. This is an OUTDOOR EVENT, so please dress accordingly. The readings will begin at 7pm. If applicable, we will also have the writers’ books for sale which the audience can get signed. This event is FREE TO ATTEND but, depending on turnout, we may not be able to seat everybody, so consider showing up slightly early.January 2026’s FFF will feature readings from Johnny Compton, Lesly Julien, and Max Booth III!
More about them below:
Johnny Compton is a Stoker Award nominated author whose short stories have appeared in Pseudopod, Strange Horizons, The No Sleep Podcast and several other publications. His fascination with frightening fiction started when he was introduced to the ghost story “The Golden Arm” as a child. He is the author of The Spite House, Devils K*ll Devils, and Dead First, as well as the short story collection, Midnight Somewhere.
Lesly Julien is the indie comic writer of the spooky comedy Ghost Gauntlet, slapstick fantasy miniseries Savage Wizard, crime thriller miniseries Headcases as well as long gestating horror drama Lost Lake.
Max Booth III is the publisher and editor of Ghoulish Books. This is their bookshop. They are hosting the event. And also reading. Their ego is huge.
