About the author
Clay Vermulm
9 books24 followersBorn on the frigid, windswept plains of Cut Bank, Montana, Clay has now set down proverbial stakes in the Pacific Northwest where he likes to climb rocks on the days it's not raining. For the other ninety-eight percent of the year, he enjoys writing, reading, and playing board games with his partner Deanna as his cat criticizes his every life decision from her carpeted tree palace.
Clay decided to turn his writing hobby into a writing career in November of 2020. Since then, he has written thousands of words, eight short stories, two novels, and his novella Crevasse, which was picked up by City Stone publishing in November 2021 (November is apparently a good month).
Aside from writing, Clay has also created and produced one season of his podcast Sinister Soup, climbed Half Dome in Yosemite Valley, and gotten engaged to the love of his life (also in November, for the record). If you want to know more than that, you'll have to join his newsletter.

Bad Spirits is a superb collection of horror fiction--well edited, thoughtfully ordered, and diverse enough to keep you entertained from beginning to end. The stand out for me was Yggdrasil, but there were certainly a few other close contenders. The stories in this collection have a lot of depth for horror and aren't just run-of-the-mill murder fests. You'll get chills and feels when you dive into this one.
