Not a Speck of Light

I first came across Laird Barron a dozen or so years ago when I was working my way through Ellen Datlow’s yearly horror collections. Since then he has become one of “my” authors, those whose next book I eagerly await. One of the best things that I ever read on Twitter was what I think […]

Grooming my Grandfather

This story of mine was based on many years of a very similar dream. I would visit my mother’s father as he sat on a chair on a concrete slab in the backyard of his home. It was a yard I knew well from my childhood. Though he was dead and would not speak, he […]

Blur

My story Blur falls into the category of “I really like this story that I wrote”*. Perhaps you might like it as well.

The Only Good Indians

Well far out dude, what the hell is this? What just happened? I don’t generally have the patience or inclination to write book reviews, and this is not one. I read quite a bit of horror, because I like it, but you wouldn’t know what I was reading if you were there with me while […]
