CONTACT 2: BLOOD & STEEL available now

 The Kindle edition of CONTACT 2: BLOOD & STEEL went live today. Hoping print soon follows.

My story, "Misery Hill," is historical, set during the end days of the Spanish-American war.

recent read; BLACK HONEY by Steve Van Samson

 

BLACK HONEY (And Other Unsavory Things) is a powerhouse eclectic collection of chilling tales. Touches of Hammer films, modern horror, wry humor, and twisted slices of everyday life can be experienced in this honeycomb of eleven tales of terror.

Come for the fantastic stories by Steve Van Samson, and stay for the incredible interior art by Derek Rook. It's a winning combination you won't soon forget!

Coming soon .. soonish .. Blood & Steel

Screaming Banshee Press gave the go-ahead to share the cover of their next release, a military horror anthology; CONTACT 2: BLOOD & STEEL. Hoping to have it out late summer. I have a story under "& More" ;)

I will, of course, update when book is released and available.

LONELY HOLLOWS

It's been awhile! I am, once again, appearing in an anthology! This time the stories are folk horror.

LONELY HOLLOWS by Pavane Press.

My story, "The Cellar Man," is in excellent company!

The paperback and hardcover editions dropped early, and can be ordered now. The Kindle edition is on pre-order, still slated for May 21st delivery.

recent read; EMPIRE OF BLOOD AND SAND

 If you're looking for a new, dark fantasy/grim dark novel, look no further than EMPIRE OF BLOOD AND SAND by Alister Hodge.

In a brutal desert empire, Jael Crowfeeder survives as a Beast Hunter. Last of his kind and despised by society, he’s betrayed and thrown in prison just as a legion of man and monster storm the border. Forcibly conscripted, Jael will soon wet his sword in the front lines.

I liked this one a lot.

I already have the (just released) sequel CITY OF STONE AND RUIN, waiting on my Kindle.
