Animal Uprising!
My short story, Upsweep, has been included in Animal Uprising! - the new anthology from Nightmare Press.
“A lion, a hybrid, a bear – oh no! A goat, a gull, and a big black dog! Can’t forget the roaches, the deer flies, and the tarantula hawk, or the abominable insect that rises from the earth! We got creepy crawlers and killer critters for everyone. Oh, you want mythical creatures? How about a malevolent spirit posed as a fox, a rambunctious jackalope, or a herd of unicorn-gazelles on a distant planet? Let’s not forget the supernatural silver stag with the power to raise the dead. Oh, did I mention the giant mantis shrimp? Yeah – we got a giant mantis shrimp. Humankind really has their work cut out for them in this collection of terrifying tales of beastly butchery. Need to know more? Check out Animal Uprising! for all of the mayhem.”
Available on Amazon UK and US

Darling Delinquents Anthology
I have been fortunate to have a piece included in the debut anthology from Sweat Drenched Press.
“Darling Delinquents is SDP's first official Anthology.
The Anthology uses the books interiority as a museum space for a rare species of artist/writer, giving you the opportunity to enter their minds, worlds and obsessions.
This book features work by a wide variety of artists from across the globe. Writers, prosaists, poets and visual-artists inhabit this book with work that can only be called delinquent...darling
Darling Delinquents has everything and nothing that will engage your synapses.
All proceeds go towards SDP’s piggybank to ensure we can continue the work we do over the next year or two.
This Anthology is a coming together of artists and collaborators in the spirit of creative union rather than earning money for a Press; a passion-project all involved have contributed to, knowing that the small amount of royalties we receive goes towards the Press and its running.”

GUNS GODS GLORY & GREED
My redneck death cult poverty porn fun park white trash dangerous game story “Welcome to Hicksville” has been included in the new collection GUNS GODS GLORY & GREED out now from Dumpster Fire Press.
What Dumpster Fire Press say:
‘Like 2021’s year-end anthology CHILDHOOD’S END which contained the themes TWILIGHT OF THE SUPERHEROES and WAITING FOR LUCY examining superheroes and what happened to a certain peanut gang gallery after they grew up… this anthology encompasses both the pulpy western concept HONK-TONK ANGELS which is organized like a pulp/silver age comic with exciting art and satiric ads along with the cult flavored ANIMAL MASKS not only featuring all sorts of cultish antics of the animal variety but political animals as well leading to the great unraveling of society into a more primal world.
Which kind of builds off of our last two anthologies BEDROOM ANATOMY LESSONS and one of my favorite releases WORLD ON FIRE: PROPAGANDIE which threw everything at you from war in Ukraine to ecological disasters, pandemic bullshit along with just good old fashioned nuclear destruction and totalitarianism. The source being political propaganda…so how did we get there in the west which let’s be honest has dominated world affairs for quite some time?
Well, HONKY-TONK ANGELS gives you more bang for your buck looking at that rugged individualism somehow seeking salvation as the human masks come off in ANIMALS MASKS to reveal the beasts inside incapable of finding salvation, so they have to damn whatever they may to establish some wayward path to redemption to damage control what could be construed as sanity in a mad, mad world.
So grab yourself a bottle (glass is optional), get your six-shooter, a bible of sorts (don’t care the affiliation) and get down on your knees for forgiveness…god don’t forgive…it lacks the emotional intelligence manufactured by humankind (emotional intelligence or god?).
Pray/prey and find out.'
