Greetings from the great northern forest!

There’s a lot going on.

First, I’m in a new anthology from Titan books edited by Johnny Compton, titled “Where Devils Stand”. The anthology features the best horror writers in the biz, and will be distributed worldwide in hardcover. I really like the concept I wrote for this one. The theme is “the moments when we stand at the crossroads where devils appear”

“a long time ago. His father often met him on trips out here, but not this year. Cancer made sure of that. The last thing he ever told Bishop was that Bishop was”
