Three of my sci-fi drabbles have been published in the Planetside anthology by Shacklebound Books.
My underwater horror story A Sinking Feeling has been published in the Emergence anthology by The Writer’s Cache. It’s the story of two survivors trapped in an air pocket in a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean. And they’re not alone.
I didn’t know how long we had been underwater at that point—we had no way to measure time—but for however long it was, we hadn’t heard any noises outside of our own movement and the occasional groan of the ship’s structure as it settled into the ocean floor. But this noise was different.
Something was moving. And it was close.
My horror story Feed the Worm has been published in the Beautiful Darkness anthology from Dragon Soul Press. If you like stories about carnivorous cosmic murder worms, this is the one for you!
The girl was on her knees, crouched low behind the rear bumper. Exhaust swirled around her, lit up a hellish red by the glow of the taillights. Her hair hung over her face in damp ropes. Breath steamed from her nose in short, rapid bursts. She looked up at Ben. Her eyes were wide with terror. “Hide,” she whispered.
You can also listen to the audio production of Feed the Worm on the Night’s End Podcast.
My short ghost story Butterscotch has been published in HAUS: Anthology of Haunted House Stories by Culture Cult Press. Renting an apartment above a funeral parlor might freak some people out, but not Ellen. Not at first, anyway.
For a moment, I imagined my grandmother laying there on one of the tables, her body cold and stiff, her eyelids stitched shut, her tissue-thin skin pulled taut over her jutting cheekbones. Nicholas had done that, I realized, right in the room where I was standing.
My haunted house story House of Whispers has been published in the A Very Ghostly Christmas anthology by Ghost Orchid Press. The story has all the elements of a classic ghost story: an old Victorian mansion, strange whispers in the walls, mysterious disappearances, and a twist ending that ties them all together.
Three of my horror drabbles, Curiosity Kills, The Fog of War, and Scrapple, have been published in the Short Horror Stories anthology by Shacklebound Books.
Nine of my horror drabbles have been published in the Nom Nom Halloween drabble anthology by Black Hare Press. The first six are originals; the other three are reprints.
My cyberpunk story A Free Man has been published in The Mods anthology by Shacklebound Books. In a world where you can purchase a synthetic replica of a person from a vending machine, the best person to frame for a crime you committed may be … yourself.
My slasher story No Signal has been published in Dead Heat: An Anthology of Summer Horror by Crimson Pinnacle Press. It’s a twist on the common trope of someone in the woods trying to call for help, only to realize that, “There’s no signal out here!”
My horror story Things Are Looking Up has been published in the RISE: Stories of the Undead anthology by Wicked Shadow Press. After a man and his wife are in a fatal car accident, the man decides he will do anything to see his wife one more time … even if he has to dig.
