In Vermilion

Online magazine ergot. specializes in experimental horror fiction, a unique sort of niche that of course delights and interests me. A new story comes out every Friday, and I always look forward to reading what they publish. This week, I’m pleased to say my new story “In Vermilion” has a home there.

It’s very short. It starts at a party. It’s possible that it ends with selkies starting a new civilization, but who really knows? These are things that it’s up to the reader to decide.

Read “In Vermilion” on ergot. and let me know what you think.

As a reminder, I’ve got about 100 (correction: sold out) copies left of my perverse horror-erotica chapbook based on the 1981 Zulawski film Possession. Only 200 will be printed, so this is a limited run. Told from the point of view of the Creature, it’s a short novelette of extreme horror, but it’s also a prose poem, the sort of thing you might call “lyrical splatter” if such a genre exists.

To purchase a copy, Venmo @horrorsong or PayPal to PayPal.Me/horrorsong – make sure to include your correct mailing address, please!!! – the total cost with shipping is $8 US, $9 Canada, $10 everywhere else.

Thank you for reading! If you enjoy my writing, please follow. I only post when I have new work to share and news of upcoming releases or events.
