BIG NEWS!
I’m thrilled to officially announce the sale of a new story collection.
BENEATH A PALE SKY, a brand-new collection of eight stories, will be published in Summer, 2021, from Lethe Press in paperback, ebook and audiobook editions.
The stories in this collection have been individually published by the likes of Cemetery Dance, Dark Discoveries Magazine, Lovecraft eZine and several anthologies. The collection will also feature an original novella.
In addition to the stories, BENEATH A PALE SKY will feature an Introduction by New York Times Bestselling novelist, Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box, Inspection and the upcoming Malorie.
I’m grateful to publisher Steve Berman for bringing me into the fold at Lethe Press, where I’ll be joining authors such as T.E. Grau, Daniel Braum, Livia Llewellyn, Will Ludwigsen, Anya Martin, Robert Levy, Kurt Fawver, Nate Southard, and so many others.
I’m especially excited that BENEATH A PALE SKY will be released during the 20th year of Lethe Press’ existence. An amazing accomplishment in today’s publishing world.
Lastly, the story collection has also been sold to Dilatendo Mentes Editorial for a Spanish edition, which will be released in 2022. Other international editions are in the works, so stay tuned!
But wait! That’s not all!
Lethe Press will be reissuing my out-of-print novella, SACCULINA, in brand new paperback and ebook formats. SACCULINA (called “terrifically scary” by The New York Times) was originally published by JournalStone, and has been out of print for almost two years. I’m grateful to Lethe for bringing it back into the marketplace. The release date, as of this announcement, is pending.
I will also be partnering with Lethe to to reissue my story collection, BEHOLD THE VOID, which is currently in print from the amazing Lovecraft eZine Press. Lethe will take over publishing duties in order to create more seamless distribution opportunities for both story collections. The look and feel of the existing edition will be the same. I want to thank Mike Davis at eZine Press for generously helping facilitate the transition and for being a wonderful publisher in the genre.
The reissue edition will be available in August, 2020.
I look forward to working with Steve Berman at Lethe Press on these projects, and will provide more details as they become available. Special thanks to Josh Malerman for signing on to do the Introduction.
I can’t wait to share these stories with you.
