New release, folks!!
My new book, The Demon Seeds, dropped live today. Monumental thanks and kudos to Nicholas Grabowsky for making this happen. Thank you, sir!!
Released today through The Society of Misfit Stories is my story “Bearwalker.” Happy to be part of this new series. Here’s a blurb about the story: Detective Berlin doesn’t believe in the supernatural. But when a series of unexplained, grisly murders sends shockwaves through the city of Reno, he turns to an unlikely source to help him track down the killer. Because Albert Taylor is more than the publisher of The Occult Files Magazine. He’s also one of the best monster hunters you’ll ever meet.
Like dogs?
Are you a dog person?
If so, then let me introduce you to a dog named “Sarge,” who is featured in a story in the new issue of 9 Tales, Told in the Dark. Sarge is a service dog and something happens to him. SPOILER ALERT: not! My lips are sealed!
But if you’re curious, you can pick up the latest issue of 9 Tales, Told in the Dark in ebook format here:

The new summer 2015 issue of The Horror Zine is out and includes my horror short story “The Haunted Academy” (this is a shorter, catchier alternate version of the novella by the same title that was released by Midnight Frost Books). The shorter version was written years ago, inspired by things like Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran (who was sort of the inspiration for the character of Christian). During that time I wanted a story that was tight and compact.
A few years later, I decided to expand the story into a novella, removing some of the characters (including Christian) and replacing them with new characters that I got to flesh out more, like Jan and Erica, who seemed more appealing ( though I still like Christian). So the two versions are definitely different, not just in length.
Which one do you prefer?
Thanks to editor, Jeani Rector.
