My novel Scratch is published today by Dark House Press, and I hope you’ll consider taking a look.

I’d call it a literary folk horror/monster story, with deep forests and shapeshifting and animal attacks and stone walls and solastalgia and a narrator who doesn’t find human beings quite as fascinating and special as we find ourselves.  And it began with something I read in an interview with the novelist Molly Gloss years ago (in an interview about her wonderful novel Wild Life):

“Here’s what it comes down to: I want to live in a world in which it’s possible to believe in giants living deeply secret in the forests. When the wild woods are entirely gone, that possibility won’t exist for any of us anymore.”

You can order a copy from your local bookstore, directly from the publisher, or from Amazon, Powells, and all the usual places (or ask your library to add one to their collection), if you’re so inclined.

Thanks.
