We’re racing toward the end of Halloween month, but thankfully around here, horror fiction is a year-round event. But for in-person events, that’s a wrap on this year! Next place you’ll find me is MystiCon in late January.
But virtually, I had the pleasure of returning to the Books in the Freezer podcast. This is one of the best places for book recs, and I had a blast chatting with Stephanie about my recent collection Teenage Girls Can Be Demons along with talking about books and movies that fit the theme, coming-of-rage.
And with another release inbound March 3rd from Bad Hand Books, it only made sense to come back to The Bad Signal to talk about the upcoming return to print of my noir/horror/dark fantasy novel No Gods for Drowning, along with chatting about the new cover by Anna Chiara Stagi, and my recent releases A Game in Yellow and Teenage Girls Can Be Demons. Three very different books, so it was fun getting to hop between them in one discussion!
Also, my 2022 story “Hollywood Werewolf Conspiracy” was recently read aloud on Cool Zone Media Book Club, so give it a listen!
Lastly, A Game in Yellow made the Men’s Health article “The 52 Best Horror Books of 2025” alongside works by Jenny Kiefer, Cynthia Pelayo, Gretchen Felker-Martin, Isabel Canas, Stephen King, Stephen Graham Jones, and more. It’s been another beautiful year for horror, and it’s lovely seeing my strange erotic cosmic novel among these.
I also have a new story out, second to last of the year, and it’s a pretty special one! “Life Begins at Injection” is a prequel story to my recent novel

I expect this will be the last update of a long, long year. Ending it with a bang is my erotic horror story, “In Subspace, No One Can Hear You Scream” that appears in Mycelia issue IV. At this club’s show, there’s more happening than meets the eye. 
In the short fiction realm, Gothic horror magazine Love Letters to Poe published my coming of age tale “The Inheritance Thread” in their most recent issue. It’s a story of lineage and burdens, and the long-sought voice of a mother. The magazine’s podcast, available on both the site and podcast places like Spotify, has an audio version to, narrated by my wife J. The page also includes a short interview with me about the story.
