The Veil Is Thinning: A Busy Fall Ahead
The veil is thinning, the days are getting shorter, and fall is almost here—which means it’s about to become a very busy time for horror writers. I’ve spent much of this year working on several projects that are finally starting to come together, and this fall should see several very different kinds of horror heading out into the world: a new writing-craft series, an old-school punk-rock zombie novel, the first issue of a new pulp horror magazine, and an audiobook release.

Hunted Is Out Now!

A Few Updates...
It’s been a little quiet around here, so I wanted to check in and share a few updates on what I’ve been working on over the past several months. Back in October, I released the fourth entry in my Terrifying Tales series. This latest volume contains seven new short stories including two that feature H. H. Horowitz, a character I’ve had a lot of fun exploring. This series has become a place where I can experiment, lean into classic pulp horror, and tell shorter, sharper stories
