FAITH — When a gentle schoolteacher falls into South Carolina’s blackwater, he’s saved by an ageless woman born of the river—and cursed with her hunger. This is no romance.

I’ve just signed my first international publication contract.

A Rulebook for Ghosts will appear in Black Sheep: Unique Tales of Terror and Wonder (Hobb’s End Press, May 2026).

The ghosts negotiated well.

Litany in G major Snoring. Snoring and snoring and snoring. And every snore takes a new shape. First the phone on the nightstand, bzzz, bzzz, a notification that doesn’t exist. Then a truck in the street, but there is ...

Three nights. Four. Twenty. No sleep.

The neighbor’s snores crawl through the walls like cords wrapping my throat.

I must do something.

I Don’t Want To Die I’m in a hospital room. An ER cubicle, to be more precise. The snot left behind by crying won’t even let me smell the mix of disinfectant, despair, and simulated humanity that usually lingers here. ...

Maybe writing from an ER cubicle is absurd.
Maybe polishing words while an IV dangles from your arm is ridiculous.
But what else can I do with the fear?

The english version has a PS.

I’m alive. So I write.

El meu primer rebuig.
Sense nom. Sense comentaris. Només:

I això ja em val. Ja he entrat al joc.

It’s here. My first rejection.
No name. No notes. Just: Dear author.
And honestly? That’s all I needed to hear.

Today I did my first magazine submission in english. Wish me luck! #WriteAs #Booksky #WritersOfBlueSky #DarkLit #WeirdFiction #IndieAuthor

“Success is simple,” they hiss. “Buy reviews. Pay for promo. Build a $700 website.”
Nightling, if I wanted to burn money, I’d at least light candles and chant.
This isn’t marketing—it’s a séance for the gullible.
