Another Horror Collection — Obsidian Edition


KJK Publishing
has announced another in its long-running The Horror Collection series, and this time, it's the Obsidian Edition, to be released later this year, most likely in the fall (ebook and trade paperback editions). This one will feature my story, "Willow Bend," along with 16 other tales of stone-cold terror (see the table of contents below).

"Willow Bend" was originally slated to appear in 2018, in an anthology titled Voices in the Darkness from Ulthar Press, but following the sad, untimely passing of Ulthar's owner, Sam Gafford, the book never happened. So, I'm mighty pleased that the story will at last see the light of day in an awesome new anthology. As always, I will post additional details and ordering information when those become available.

I still have more fiction forthcoming from KJK Publishing, so... beware the future, my friends!
