Read me!

It's been a busy last few months, and I'm pleased to see some of last season's stories making it to print.


Idolators of Cthulhu

There are those who chant the eldritch songs, who gather in nameless places to celebrate the return of the great Old Ones. For millennia their tales have not been told. Within these haunted pages you will find their stories of yearning, terror, murder, and a faith that defies the understanding of humanity. Come and look into the minds of the Idolaters of Cthulhu.

That's how the new anthology from Alban Lake Publishing is being described. With stories expanding the popular Cthulhu Mythos originated by H.P. Lovecraft, this anthology explores the darker side of an already dark subject. 

The Idolaters of Cthulhu is edited by H. David Blalock and Herika R. Raymer. The anthology is structured in three parts with a foreword by Blalock and atmospheric poetry from classical writers adding to the overall picture. The anthology opens with Beyond the Wall of Sleep by Lovecraft himself and closes with the powerful poem Afterwards by Clark Ashton Smith.

My story, "Fatwa" is the second story in the Incursion section.

Copies are available from Alban Lake Publishing and from Smashwords and Amazon.


 And in the FLASH category:

 I'm also happy to report I will have TWO new flash pieces in the lovely graphic anthologies produced by The Daily Nightmare.

(In case you missed it, my piece "RIP Ellipses" can be found here:  22 More Quick Shivers)

The new anthologies, one focused around the concept of "bugs" and the other featuring authors from the Midwest, will be decorated flash fiction, words transformed into images via creative typography. I was extremely impressed with Daily Nightmare's previous anthologies and the word on the street is that they're going to try a Kickstarter for a color edition of one of the new ones! I'll post the links when they become available.

I'm a guest at this year's Imaginarium in Louisville, KY, so stop by and say hello!

I'm in the News!

















As part of February's "Women in Horror Month," promotion, my publisher,  Charon Coin Press, is being exceptionally kind and giving me some media mention!

First up,  I have an interview on the main site, where I share my view on what being a women in the horror industry is really like:

And I also have a guest editorial article over on HorrorTree,  "Short Kisses and Dark Nights," where I talk about the short form in horror fiction:

Just in time for Halloween: 22 More Quick Shivers

 
So Yay!


My flash piece, "RIP ellipses," a 100-word story about an inept necromancer, has made it to print.

Here's the 411 on this project:

22 Quick Shivers from DailyNightmare.com is a different kind of graphic literature. This second annual anthology presents a collection of 22 horror tales, each 100 words in length, that each re-tells a nightmare posted on DailyNightmare.com. The twist is that each story is graphically typeset to enhance the mood and invite the reader to slow down and experience the sensations of a nightmare.

It's a beautiful book, and I'm excited to share a table of contents with some pretty heavy hitters in the horror community.
