New Interview is Live, With Robert Stahl, Where We Talk About Spontaneous Human Combustion.
Posted on January 7, 2022 1 Comment
Robert Stahl is a student, peer, and friend of mine. He wanted to dig in deeper to my upcoming short story collection, SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION (out on 2/22/22 with Turner Publishing). Click on over and read his review as well as my thoughts on some of the stories. Warning—there ARE spoilers. Books are shipping now, so pick up your copy when you get a chance. I think it’s some of my best work to date.
“Writers understand that a story must show a character going through a change, and Spontaneous Human Combustion delivers on that notion with terrifying vigor. The characters in these pages transmogrify in ways that defy comprehension, whether by a glorious epiphany that ultimately vindicates them, or by a fatal misstep that leads to their eternal damnation. “
For more, head on over to his website. THANKS!

2021 Award-Eligible Work
Posted on November 15, 2021 1 Comment
So, not a big year for me, as far as NEW work, but 2022 is looking to be quite active.
I had two stories come out this year—”Saudade” in the PRISMS anthology, and “Rotten to the Core” in the Liminal Spaces anthology. Both are eligible for nominations in the short story category. I would say both stories fit into the dark fantasy and horror genres, as well as new-weird.
