This is a quick. last minute post to say that I will be doing a bookstore event tomorrow, November 19th at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn. I will be joined by A.C. Wise, Clay McLeod Chapman, with Ellen Datlow and we will be reading from the Day & Night anthology.
You can get tickets here
This should be a fun event and a good chance to check out NYC’s new independent horror bookstore!
Hope to see you there!
So, I mentioned in my year end wrap up in December that 2025 was shaping up to be an exciting publication year. I also said that there were a few things I couldn’t announce publicly yet.
Well, I can’t announce everything, but I’m happy to share that my essay “Accessibility Toolkit for When Things Go Wrong” is now live over at Uncanny Magazine! It’s about what to do when an accessibility plan for an event doesn’t work as you expect. It pulls from examples that I’ve seen or heard about over the years.
The second piece of news – which I’m thrilled about – is that I’m going to have a story in an Ellen Datlow’s Night & Day anthology! The anthology is model after the old Ace double features were one half of the book would have one novel and then if you flip and rotate the book 180 degrees, there would be another. My story, “The Wanting”, will be in the “Day” half and the company it keeps in this entire anthology is pretty amazing. It will be hitting shelves on September 2nd, 2025!
More news coming soon (I think), but I’ll leave you with this short story recommendation in the meantime: “They Bought a House” by Osahon Ize-Iyamu over at Nightmare Magazine.
I’m happy to announce my first horror story is now live in Nightmare Magazine! It’s called “The Family in the Adit“. I’ve never written horror successfully before and this was an experiment in stretching my abilities as a writer. I’m quite pleased with the result. I’m not going to go into too much detail about the history or the process of creating this story, because I do that here.
The song I used as a soundtrack for this story was “Tell Mama” by The Civil Wars.
Hope you enjoy the story!
