“Homecoming” will be included in Nightscript Volume 8 (coming October 1st, 2022). There are some incredible authors in this TOC such as Steve Rasnic Tem and Daniel Braum – I’m honored to be amongst them. Thanks to Mr. C. M. Muller!

“The Scariest Story” is included in the anthology We Are Providence from Weird House Press. We Are Providence is a group of Rhode Island horror writers – this is our first anthology. It had its release at NecronomiCon 2022.

“The Passing” will appear in Nightscript Volume 7 (coming October 1st, 2021). I’m thrilled to be a part of this stellar collection as I’ve been an admirer of C.M. Muller‘s anthology and his aesthetic for some time. The anthology will also include such formidable contemporary fiction authors such as Clint Smith (The Skeleton Melodies, Ghouljaw and Other Stories, et al).

“The Passing” is an ode to inheritance, voluntary or otherwise, particularly concerning the transmission from an elder to a descendent all of the family stories and metadata which must be preserved. The old lady in the attic and the young boy to whom she has presented a sacred necklace of ash tree beads ending in a little horse, and an equally sacred book printed in gothic fraktur letter, have roots (to some degree, literally) in the legend of the Old Norse Poetic Edda, which includes the great tree at the center of the cosmos known as Yggdrasil. Will the boy’s heartwood be strong enough to bear the Green Crown?
