If you happen to have an Amazon Kindle, you can now download the entire New Voices in Horror Volume 1 anthology.

My short story “Anatomy of the Terrible” is also included in the anthology.

The anthology is currently #26 in Anthologies – let’s see if we can get it into the top ten by the weekend!

Three of My Stories Accepted to Northern Haunts Anthology!

Three of my stories (“Lures: A Fish Story”, “Raven’s House”, and “Coventry Greens”) will appear in Northern Haunts: 100 Terrifying New England Tales, the upcoming anthology from Shroud Publishing.

I have no doubt that a host of great stories will fill this book. Shroud Publishing’s Tim Deal is the editor, and he is also the mastermind behind Shroud: The Journal of Dark Fiction and Art and the anthologies Abominations and Beneath the Surface.

Proceeds from the sale of this book are going to the American Cancer Society, so I urge everyone out there to buy a copy – heck, buy two or three and give them out as Christmas gifts. You’ll be getting some great fiction and helping a worthy cause.

You can already preorder Northern Haunts: 100 Terrifying New England Tales. The title will be available in hardcover as well as trade paperback. Click here or on the cover to order your copies!

New Voices in Horror Volume 1

The e-book version is now available! My short story “Anatomy of the Terrible” is featured in New Voices in Horror Volume 1, an anthology envisioned and put together by David “Doc” Byron and edited by Corey Scales. The anthology will boast quite a few great authors, including Joseph D’Lacey (author of Meat) and Simon Wood (author of Working Stiffs, Accidents Waiting to Happen, and Scrubs, which he wrote under the pseudonym Simon Janus). It promises to be a fun and frightening read.

Click the cover to head on over to the New Voices in Fiction website and purchase the e-book.

“Anatomy of the Terrible” is the story of Kagan, a man who is on the run for brutal murders that he didn’t commit…or did he? His fragmented memories recall something else, something supernatural. And now an unseen force is beckoning him to the New Mexico desert.
