Just in time for Halloween: BEACH BODIES out today!

Hi all!

Earlier this year, I started work on a horror novella with a single directive: It had to shock. It had to be so weird, wild, and out-of-control that no conventional publisher would even touch it.

I found the idea compelling, and the end result, BEACH BODIES, is out today on paperback and Kindle. It's about two twentysomething caretakers charged with maintaining a billionaire's secret doomsday bunker on a deserted stretch of beautiful beach. When three weirdos invade the facility, things get really strange... and messy. One early reader described it as a "Steve Jobs fever dream with 'The Strangers' mixed in," which fits perfectly.

If you're a horror buff, you'll dig two of the sequences in here, which feature gory and inventive kills. If you're not a horror buff, those sections might not be for you, but there are a number of suspenseful sequences I'm proud of, as well as some deep dives into genetics, deep history, and the nature of morality that might make you think.

So, if you're in the mood for some prime Halloween reading, here it is! I dearly hope you enjoy it.
