I really enjoyed writing this story - it's an Egyptian-themed cosmic horror, and I just love how it came out. The book, 'Flash of the Dead: Egypt', looks fantastic, it's a really good anthology of flash fiction horror. 💙📚 🩸📚 #horror #egypt

New Book Tuesday! My copy of ‘Small Town Shadows’ just came in from Wicked Shadow Press. A fantastic looking collection of horror written by a bunch of amazing authors. My story, ‘Harrow’s End’, is biblical horror set in a small town full of big secrets.

New Book Day! I just got my copy of ‘Whatever’, the Gen X anthology from Altitude Press. This is not a horror anthology, it has a lot of amazing stories full of great 80s vibes. My story, ‘Midnight Mixtape’, is a story about loss and music and just a little bit of magic. 💙📚

Great book news this morning! My Egyptian cosmic horror tale ‘The Seventh Gate’ has been accepted into a new horror collection! This story was fun to research, I really wanted to get away from scary mummies and cursed pyramids. I’m so happy people will get to read it! 💙📚 🩸📚 #horroranthology

Life is short, have fun! #dinosaurs

We made it to Friday, but at what cost??

Because someone asked me about it today, I'll share it here: I think my grossest story to date is 'The Garbage Chute', in the anthology KrankenHaus. It actually made an editor gag. High praise for a horror author! Who else has written really gross, gory stories? 🩸📚 💙📚 #horror #gory

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit is a dark, electrifying page turner that perfectly blends gritty police work with chilling supernatural horror. Officer Mary Riley’s plunge into a hidden world of impossible crimes is intense, atmospheric, and impossible to put down." 🩸📚 💙📚 #urbanfantasy

What do we think about Mondays? What should I post to 'drive engagement' (or just entertain folks)? I'm sure someone who is social-media savvy has a whole plan for this sort of thing, but I'm a Gen-X horror writer, so... 🩸📚 #authorreading 💙📚 #horror
