Yeah, I have a new flash fiction story featured in Horror D'Oeuvres. It's a strange little one. Here's how it begins: Jeremy needed to use the bathroom. He could no longer convince himself he could wait until lunchtime. His bladder pulsed, almost painfully; he could feel it bulging, expanding. He had to go--now! He raised his hand. Mrs. Mullins pretended not to see. He squirmed in his seat. He jiggled his palm. She ignored him and continued to lecture. He dropped his hand and tried to think of something to take his mind from his ballooning gut... Read More >> For the rest

Ah, there's that feeling again, more of my dark imagination unleashed on the world. Makes me happy. Here's the synopsis: A neglected and abused little girl…A hopeless drug addict…Horrifying visions of bizarre beings that may or may not be human…A haunted desert refuge that could hold the key to everything…and all of it tied together by a mysterious jar that contains the secrets of good and evil, reality and nightmares, creation and death…and everything in between… Following a family tragedy, Kayla, a twelve-year-old orphan, and Garty, a college dropout and junkie, are sent to spend the summer with an enigmatic uncle neither of them have ever known, at his palatial desert home in Los Alamos, New Mexico, the birthplace of the Atomic Bomb. While Garty struggles to come to grips with his reckless past, and Kayla attempts to discover her place in the world, their Uncle Xander reveals the true purpose for them being there. Soon, dark secrets will be revealed. They will be shown things that will change their perceptions of the physical universe, because nothing is as it seems, and no one is safe from the terrifying secrets awaiting them. When the strange jar is opened, otherworldly horrors slip forth with ambitions of dominance, oppression and terror. Eden will be reborn. So, look what I'm doing right now... These sheets are to be signed and numbered for the limited edition hardcover of MARROW'S PIT. It really is a feeling like no other to touch these pages and put my personal mark on them, such that it is. MARROW'S PIT is a crazy ride from start to finish and I hope people enjoy it. Coming in March 2014... Built to encompass the entire range of lifeless mountains, it had always, relentlessly, clanked on and on. Within, vast halls and endless corridors were filled with the sounds of metal on metal, with hissing steam, with squealing gears. In the eyes of its citizens, it was sacred, deified, omniscient. Enshrined in their mythology for innumerable generations, it had gone by countless designations, but its truest name was perhaps its plainest: the Machine. For Ballard, the Machine is a place of tedium, and ignorance, and cruelty. He sees little use in his mundane job and secretly questions the purpose of the Machine. When tragedy strikes, Ballard is forced to embark on a paranoid journey that will take him outside of the Machine, and everything he’s ever known, over the edge into darkness, past the point of no return…toward the blackness known as Marrow’s Pit.
