Dark Blooms out Now!

Dark Blooms: Girls' Coming-of-Age Horrors

My short story, Spiderella, can be found among the pages of Dark Blooms: Girls' Coming-of-Age Horrors. Spiderella follows an eighth grade Alanna as she struggles to stay true to herself among the pressures of adolescence. Her inner conflict comes to a crescendo on Halloween night as she also faces extrinsic dangers.

I hope you'll grab yourself an ebook or paperback and check out these wonderful tales! Ruth Anna Evans always puts out a fantastically curated anthology.

AHH! An ebook!

Yesterday, Jan 25th, was AHH! That's What I Call Horror's book birthday. This anthology of '90s horror stories is my editorial debut, and I'm thrilled for the world of horror readers to finally get their hands on it.

The ebook is now available at the big major sites, as well as godless dot com (support indie horror!!).

The paperback is a couple weeks behind, but will be out soon! Stay tuned for an update on that.

Check out the current reviews, add it to your TBR, and stay rad!

Chromophobia

Earlier this year, my first EVER short story publication hit the shelves. I am so honored to have a place in Chromophobia: A Strangehouse Anthology, edited by Sara Tantlinger.

My story is titled Toxic Shock. It's about a woman whose monthly period is anything but normal. I hope you'll check out the full anthology, full of stories by women horror authors. Let me know what you think of it!
