There are shadows over Main Street again. Small-town horror has long been a fascination for writers and readers.

I was idly writing a fake blurb for my future novel (because why not?) and it sort of turned into a micro-story of its own. No spoilers for the book are here outside of the vaguest thematic sort. “I finished this Wehunt novel and took it outside and beat it to death with a shovel in […]

The Haunted Omnibus recently posted an in-depth and thoughtful review of Greener Pastures. I very much appreciate the time and effort put into this just as much as the kind words themselves.
