“Country of the Snake” — Recommended Reading

I’m very pleased to learn that editor Ellen Datlow has included my short story, “Country of the Snake” (Fright Train, Haverhill Press, 2021), on her recommended reading list for Best Horror of the Year Volume 14. Fright Train, edited by the Switch House Gang (Scott Goudsward, John McIlveen, Charles Rutledge, and Tony Tremblay), is a wonderful book all around, so I’m in seriously great company.

Check out Fright Train here. And Best Horror of the Year Volume 14 here.

Ride on the Fright Train

Here is the cover to Haverhill House’s upcoming anthology, Fright Train, which features my new short story, “Country of the Snake.” The art by Makio Murakami is absolute dynamite; at least, I think so. I hope you do too.

The Switch House Gang consists of editors Charles Rutledge, Scott Goudsward, John McIlveen, and Tony Tremblay. Look for the anthology in October. I will post updates as they are available.

“Out in the darkness a mournful whistle howls, the ground shakes, and steam hisses as the Fright Train pulls into the station. From the Victorian Age to contemporary times, fear rides the rails in these tails set on and around trains of all kinds. Climb aboard and let 13 of today’s best and two classic horror writers take you on night journeys to destinations unknown.

Featuring stories by: Amanda DeWees, Christopher Golden, Scott T. Goudsward, Bracken MacLeod, Elizabeth Massie, James A. Moore, Lee Murray, Errick Nunnally, Stephen Mark Rainey, Charles R. Rutledge, Jeff Strand, Tony Tremblay, Mercedes M. Yardley, Charles Dickens, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
