Here are a couple small samples from my latest book Red Dreams. A Taste For Angels It was finally dark. The air was heavy with thick waves of heat and sweat that made it feel like he was in a room full of animals that were hiding but there. It was hard to breathe. Hard… Continue reading Red Dreams Sampler

The End, The Beginning, And The Rest

Gee Willikers and the Haunted Penis–a story
Another Halloween story. I read this one last night at the Skelebration to end the night. Utterly ridiculous but fun to write, and again, if ya dig it, buy a book!

Invocation – a story
The first thing you may ask is - why on earth are you giving a story away? Well, I like the story, and I want people to read it. That's the easiest answer. But truly, this is a way to let you see what I do, and how I do it. And if you like… Continue reading Invocation – a story
The Blood Red Prairie – a story
In honor of Father’s Day I wrote my dad a short Western. I hadn’t written a Western before and it was pretty fun. Not sure I’d do a lot of them but it’s always good to try something different to see what you end up with. This is what I came up with. The Blood… Continue reading The Blood Red Prairie – a story
Appetizers – a story

Appetizers She shouldn't be out this far, out this late, and certainly not alone. She knew… Continue reading Appetizers – a story

Your Dust – a story
I had mentioned recently the notion of drafts and how a story forms and is changed through writing drafts so, in that spirit, I offer you the first draft of a new story. This was a story that came to me, as most do, with a fleeting notion of someone not being able to… Continue reading Your Dust – a story
The Old Man – a story
This is an older story, sort of a Lovecraft homage. More of a mood piece than anything else. If ya dig it, there's more goods like this in This Beautiful Darkness. The Old Man To those that saw the old man walk his usual route for what must have seemed like their entire lives, he… Continue reading The Old Man – a story
“Are you ready to learn?”
Excerpt from THE BOX The screams, the screams had hung with him almost as much as the smell had, but the screams were worse. More real. The frightened shrieks of animals being slaughtered. Being butchered. Cut open from throat to belly as they writhed in sickening agony. As their life and entrails splashed to the… Continue reading “Are you ready to learn?”
