Coming Soon — The Weird Cat!


The Weird Cat is a new anthology edited by Katherine Kerestman and S.T. Joshi, which features — among a stellar list of both classic and contemporary authors of dark fiction — my short story, “Nimbus.” I do not exaggerate when I tell you that this is one of my most unsettling and emotionally engaging works of fiction. The book, due in October from WordCrafts Press, is now available for pre-order from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com.

“...Cats dwell in a larger world than our own — the gulfs and abysses of which we can obtain but a shadowy glimpse. In The Weird Cat, you delve into that larger realm through more than three dozen short stories, poems, and essays by masters of the craft including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, H.P. Lovecraft, Mary A. Turzillo, Christina Sng, Darrell Schweitzer, and others.”
