Aurealis Magazine reviews my novel NIGHTMARE REEF
Aurealis #190 includes a review of my novel Nightmare Reef (Severed Press, 2025), which was a finalist for the Aurealis "Best Horror Novel" Award.
In part, reviewer Thomas K Slee writes, "Nightmare Reef is gripping but doesn’t pull its punches. It’s not a book for the squeamish. If you can handle the thrills, it will keep you hooked long into the night. Just don’t read it while you’re on a boat."

| My lack of knowledge about India under British rule really hamstrung me. Most of the political, cultural, linguistic, and symbolic references sailed straight over my head. While I considered doing some research, I ultimately decided that homework sho ...more | |

| Going in, I thought this book would comprise two novels. Wrong! Instead, it's two collections of loosely-associated short stories and poetry with anthropomorphic animals as a central device. I enjoyed every tale! Kipling has such masterful control of ...more | |

| I first tried to read this collection in 2011. Now, as I turned the pages in 2026, I remembered exactly what had bothered me... There's no depth. Every story has the same format; the protagonist wants something and, in a predictable twist, he/she doe ...more | |
