JULY 15, 2017

Forgive this post — it’s a bit self-serving but such is the nature of being an independent author who must market oneself and their work.

Following is a list of stories I have published in 2017 as of July 1. This list is for any and all awards consideration, reprints or consideration for foreign territories.

I’ve categorized the stories per Horror Writers Association guidelines for members who may wish to nominate any of the individual pieces for Stoker award consideration. I’ve also included any applicable reviews and first appearances for individual stories.

From BEHOLD THE VOID (JournalStone, March 2017):

“Fracassi…builds his horrific tales slowly and carefully…he’s especially skillful at creating, and sustaining, suspense.” — The New York Times

“Every story is as unique in its subject matter as it is identical in its quality and excellence.” — This Is Horror

“…a wildly bizarre Dali-esque tale…” — Ginger Nuts of Horror

“Fail-Safe”

Long Fiction:

“The Horse Thief”

(original to this collection)

“[This] story is the strongest embodiment of what seems to be the book’s prevailing theme: our human attraction, often fatal, to the unknown.” — The New York Times Book Review

“The Horse Thief is one of my favourite stories in the book…It’s strange and weird and I loved every moment of it.” — Dark Musings

“Mandala”

(original to this collection)
