The Cutest Thing in the World Two sweet young women renting an apartment are not what they seem. Irving, an overworked maintenance tech gets sucked into one of those jobs that never seems to end...

"The Cutest Thing in the World" is live on @metastellar.bsky.social!

Ecstatic to announce that my short story, "The Cutest Thing in the World," will join the renowned @metastellar.bsky.social's collection of speculative fiction

Recently finished @johnlangan.bsky.social's debut anthology, "Mr. Gaunt," and it was clear from the first story why Langan has become such a heavyweight in the genre. The collection is an unbroken chain of supernatural thrills with no weak links, whose end I was sorry to find arrived too soon

Had fun disentangling the twisty circles author Freddy Durbin wove together in his short story, "Intrusions" in @justkeepupmagazine.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's "She Said Destroy" - efficient, merciless, and savagely alive, Bulkin's anthology dishes out short spec horror whose shadows will linger. Looking forward to picking up "Issues with Authority"

Update on Gene Wolfe's "Seven American Nights": Spent most of yesterday going down a literary rabbit hole and the further I went, the more the pieces fit, like an Escherian tapestry. To any who might read it, I highly recommend referencing this timeline when you're done.

Gene Wolfe's "Seven American Nights" is one of the most mind-bending plots I've ever encountered. Every detail seems steeped in enigma and double meanings, and I'm still peeling back the layers and unwinding the twists. What a great novella!

Had the pleasure of picking up @lairdbarron.bsky.social's Imago Sequence on my honeymoon, and the stories therein made our romantic excursion that much more exquisite. Barron has perfected the sauce of contemporary cosmic horror!

I'm elated to announce that my brilliant editor/fiancée is now my loving editor/wife! 🖤

Picked up a random anthology at the used book store and was inadvertently introduced to the twisted imagination of Bentley Little. This guy is a real sicko and I'm loving it!

Microfiction #3: Over the possum's skull, bees sip nectar out of buttercups, because nothing's ever really over.

Super excited to have my latest piece out as part of @blackharepress.bsky.social's Short Reads series. Out now on ebook and soon to be available in hard copy!

picking out her next read

High praise from @justkeepupmagazine.bsky.social! Humbled to be one of the first voices presented in this new and exciting publication

@jennifleck.bsky.social's enchanting prose breathes fresh life into ancient mythology in "Venus Looks Coldly over Her Shoulder" in February's @chmmagazine.bsky.social

Recently finished "Hex" by @thomasoldeheuvelt.bsky.social. Now that's what I call spec horror!Plenty of authors hit on interesting angles but so few actually see them through to their full potential while also sticking the landing. And what a landing it is!

So sad to hear that @coffinbell.bsky.social is shutting down! Check it out while the site is still up. Every issue is great.

Just finished Edenville by @rebelsam94.bsky.social, a thrilling carnival ride of freakish small town horrors. Awesome debut novel!

Some appreciably meta madness in last month's @chmmagazine.bsky.social in "Introduction to the Collection by Anonymous" by @charliehughes77.bsky.social

Here's another microfiction. This one's titled, "In Silence." He brings her roses weekly, telling himself they'd win her heart if she was still alive

Revisited one of my favorite strange fiction shorts, "The Fibers" by Daniel Beauregard in Propagule Magazine

Nobody wanted my single-sentence fiction, so I'm posting some for free. This one's titled "The Return" Release came in a dazzling pointillism of serenity that blotted out the pain and slipped imperceptibly into eternity.
