Take Him

New and free to read online, my story Take Him was recently featured as an editor’s pick on Gavagai. When you click the link, it takes you to my author page where you can scroll down past any nonsense to find the story. The site is a bit odd in that stories don’t seem to have permanent links. Sorry about the rigamarole.

This one leans toward quiet horror. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Read Take Him on Gavagai.

If you’d like to say hello in person, buy a book or zine, or get something signed (no boobs, please), I’ll be participating in the horror book fair ONE OF US at Public Space One in Iowa City on September 5th from noon to four. Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Kraus will be there, too, which is really cool. Somehow, I made it into the press release, even though the article is mostly about him. Here’s the details:

One Of Us Literary Showcase Returning To Iowa City

Perhaps I’ll see you there?

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