It really bums me out how my generation has let Halloween become an adults only party that kids aren't invited to. We let them Trunk or Treat, or hit up a church for a 'harvest festival' but won't let them trick or treat. Those kids that do head out often find slim pickings in people… Continue reading The Trimming Of The 'Ween

The Lady In The Past
This is a new story that was inspired by the desire to do a short, nasty little thing that turned into this, a longer, creepy thing. I REALLY like it. I hope you do to. Fair warning - this is one pass with no edit - so if there are issues they'll be fixed some… Continue reading The Lady In The Past

The Collection
When I began writing as a teenager I didn't really have an end-goal, didn't have an agenda, and didn't see anything but the words as they spun out before me. The older I got the more ambitious I got and the wider my view became. The words and stories still seem like magic, like… Continue reading The Collection
CEMETERY EARTH – a novel of the living dead
There are a glut of zombie books out there. Zombies are the new vampires - everyone is doing them and everyone's version is the best most original thing ever. So why zombies?

Red Dreams – book of terror
When putting RED DREAMS together I wanted to set a tone and it began with the books cover. I wanted stories that would get under people’s skin and bother them. The stories in this book are born of blood and meant to infect you with darkness and to give you very dark, very red dreams.… Continue reading Red Dreams – book of terror
CHARLES BILKWATER – a story
Recently I happened on a Twitter feed through a friend that purports to post horrific things. Eh, it comes and it goes. The feed is pretty lame but while digging through old tweets I did happen upon a few urban legends that they had posted. None were real, and most had 'tells' that gave them… Continue reading CHARLES BILKWATER – a story

They are withering, these things, these monsters, withering like unfed flowers, no matter how much they… Continue reading Bites From A Cemetery Earth
Where We Are
It occurred to me a little bit ago that in the long time I have been writing I have put out or been in a LOT of publications. More than I consider a lot of the time. I made a list and it was pretty ridiculous. I thought I would share it, not out of… Continue reading Where We Are
