My next novella is debuting as a free podcast

My next novella will be out within month or two. It's about a young couple whose baby won't sleep. Does he have nightmares? Is their new home haunted? Or is something even darker burrowing into their American dream?

Can't wait? You don't have to.

I'm sharing the entire thing as a podcast prior to publication. Subscribe to The Baby Monitor: A Podcast of Family Horrors either on iTunes or on Soundclou Read more of this blog post »
