2026 (So Far)
Moving forward, I’m going to try and use this space a bit more frequently for updates on newly published stories etc. I regularly announce these kinds of things on social media (see the Contact & Connect tab), but for those of you who’ve made the entirely sensible decision to steer clear of that mess, I’ll try to keep things updated here too. In the spirit of catch up, here are my stories that have seen the light of day (or at least gotten a breath of fresh air on the reprint circuit) so far this year:
Horror Library Volume 9
“I Send You a Kiss” was published in Horror Library Volume 9 from Dark Moon Books. This is my second appearance in this consistently excellent anthology series (see “Skandalopetra” in volume 7) and it’s an honor share a TOC with the likes of Brian Evenson, Bentley Little, Poppy Z. Brite, and many other terrific writers working at the dark end of the street.
Tales to Terrify Episode 728
“The Head in the Pantry” (originally published in Cosmic Horror Monthly Issue 54) was given the audio treatment on episode 728 of the Tales to Terrify podcast. Stephen Kilpatrick did a terrific job interpreting this piece for the discerning spooky stuff listener. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
Frost Zone Stories Book 3
“Path of Totality” was featured in Frost Zone Stories Book 3. There aren’t many publications left with an explicit focus on quiet horror—a subgenre I often find myself writing in—but this one from Canada is an excellent example. Lots of stories in this issue that are well worth checking out.
Saros SF Issue 5
“This Was the Planet of Sound” was the final story in Saros Speculative Fiction Issue 5. The content warning provided for the piece is “mass extinction” so yes, it’s pretty dark but still a tiny bit hopeful. All of the stories in the issues take sound and silence as a theme, and it’s fascinating to see the varied ways in which the selected stories interpret this. This was also the first (but hopefully not the last) foray into editing for Ariel Marken Jack, an excellent writer that you should definitely to check out.
Trembling With Fear: Katabatic
Finally, my flash fiction piece “Katabatic” was published on Horror Tree’s Trembling With Fear feature. This one is admittedly pretty strange even by my standards, and I’m honestly not quite sure what to make of it. Creative writing is weird.
That’s all for now, but I’ll have more work out later this year in Supernatural Tales, Chthonic Matter Quarterly, and a few other places. Stay tuned...
