Read “The Pine Arch Collection” for Free

My new short story, “The Pine Arch Collection,” is now live over at The Dark. I’m always happy to publish in this magazine. Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Sean Wallace are excellent and diverse curators, and the fiction they give us is never behind a paywall. This is a slightly idiosyncratic story in that it’s told entirely […]

The Dark is currently running a Kickstarter to fund their next two years, raise author pay rates, and cross off other important wish list items. Please check out the nice list of rewards and consider making a pledge before April 4th. They are one of my very favorite publishers of short fiction for a few […]

Trying to Love Two Demons

Sometimes I feel caught between horror and that ill-defined land of “literary fiction.” I’m not interested in a “versus” argument or any sort of pretension here. I love both equally, I read both equally, I mash them into a ball together, and, most importantly, I don’t think there’s much of a difference between them, anyway, […]

I Have This Terror

I have this terror that one day while my pup and I are in the back yard, just the two of us at home, I will fall down dead. She and I are always alone in this terror. It is a cold morning (for it is winter as I write this, and the terror lives […]

Un Lugar Mejor a Best Book of the Year

Libros Prohibidos has chosen Un lugar mejor, the Spanish-language translation of my story collection, Greener Pastures, as one of the best books of 2017. Being on a list like this, anywhere in the world, is an honor that always knocks the wind out of me for a moment, so many thanks to these fine folks. […]

Don’t Get to the Point

One piece of genre fiction writing and submitting advice that has always annoyed me: The speculative element must be introduced right away in a story. I saw this “rule” a lot when I was starting out, and though it’s obviously not written in stone (hence the quotation marks), it usually felt pretty rigid, a semi-official […]

Two New Interviews

Eddie Generous at Unnerving Magazine recently called me up to grill me with excellent questions for their podcast. You can listen to it over at their site and hear me use my real voice in real time. Sadie AKA Mother Horror asked me some questions for her blog, covering everything from what scares me to what […]

New Interview at 31 Hath October

Brian Lillie asked me some questions for his 31 Hath October project, and in the interest of avoiding discussing my collection, Greener Pastures, to death, we focused on the writing of my first novel. You can read my babbling here. Some light spoilers for the novel can be found, but nothing beyond what you’d find […]

New Story “Drawing God” Published

There are shadows over Main Street again. Small-town horror has long been a fascination for writers and readers. The bulk of Stephen King’s huge body of work takes place in sparsely populated places, after all. It might seem strange at first glance for Lovecraftian horrors to turn their indifferent and destructive glances on a small […]

Imaginary Blurb

I was idly writing a fake blurb for my not-quite-finished novel The Lighted Hand (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 […]
