PHANTASMAGORIA, issue 27, is now on the newsstands and includes a reprint of my story, "Thea Was First", and a brand-new interview with me.

The penultimate story in my new collection, OTHER SIDES, is "The Somnambulists". Is it horror? Is it weird? Is it fantasy? Who the fudge knows, but I think you'll like it. It was first published in Shadows & Tall Trees 8.

The eleventh story in OTHER SIDES, my new collection, is “Shepherd Not Sheep”. It’s a weird tale that falls in that liminal space between fantasy and horror. No surprise, considering it was originally published in Bourbon Penn.
