The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed.

Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

The 5th story in THE JOINING is a theatrical terror. Don't upstage this bride, or it's curtains for you!

(the pun department apologizes, offending parties have been shot)

Thanks to @jacklothian.bsky.social for providing this tale. THE JOINING comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

Heigh ho! The 4th story in THE JOINING is told from a marrow-sucking marital bed. What's sweetest in life lies nearest the bone, after all...

Thanks to @jduckwriter.bsky.social for submitting this excellent (and oddly romantic!) story! THE JOINING comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

The 3rd story in THE JOINING is a false-faced frolic. What will you wear to the wedding feast... and whose skin is it made from?

Thanks heaps to @jeswrites.bsky.social for submitting this story to our anthology. THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social

The second story in THE JOINING is a hungry guest. She'll whet her appetite on wedding cake for now, but she's looking for more than that pleasant full feeling. Get what I mean?

Thanks to @jawmccarthy.bsky.social for providing this story. THE JOINING comes out in 2 months!

The first story in THE JOINING is a sticky scenario. Come for the romance, stay for the zoology lesson! Or is it entomology? Never mind that, just suck the juices out with us!

Thanks to the great @tlbodine.bsky.social for submitting this story for our anthology.

I've gotten some new follows recently so it's time for a re-intro.

I write books, I edit anthologies, I repost fantasy art. I've got a body horror novella out on sub, and I've got 2 books coming soon.

Time to introduce a character from BRIDES IN THE DARK who I haven't talked about much yet. Meet Fay, Patrick's mother. Sweet-tempered with her son, but quiet and scheming and ruthless when she needs to be, Fay never shows her full hand to anybody.

Thanks to @faffuart.bsky.social for the artwork!

THE UNWELCOME was my first major release (my first two books were a college project and an accidental novella) so while it's not really my debut, it holds a special place in my heart as my first... something. I dunno. It feels significant somehow.

Thanks for continuing to show it love!

Thanks much to Timothy Halpin for this amazing rendering of Stella, one of the two romantic leads of my upcoming fantasy novella BRIDES IN THE DARK!

Stella usually has what the book calls a "mocking" personality, so seeing her so demure is a rarity.

It's September. Maybe it's a little colder. Maybe the days are a little shorter. Maybe you're spending more time indoors, cowering from the dark. There's no better time to curl up with 14 great horror stories, including the titular novelette "Bury Me Cold."

5 Facts About BRIDES IN THE DARK:

1. I came up with the title first! It's a play on the TTRPG system "Blades in the Dark," and once I had a name like that, I challenged myself to come up with a story that suited it.

Brides in the Dark comes this February from @quillandcrow.com! Not a modern fairy tale, only a new one... that combines world mythologies, classic Grimm stories, and a bit of modern romance as well.

Have you preordered and added it on Goodreads yet?

Nearly done with dev edits for BRIDES IN THE DARK from @quillandcrow.com. Me and @lmorris-writer.bsky.social have been working sooo hard to bring you the darkest and most heart-breaking version of this twisted little fairy tale possible, and I truly think y'all aren't ready for this.

Coming 2026!

Paperbacks of my debut horror novel are currently ON SALE for about 7 schmackos, USD. If you're hankering for a character-forward body-snatching slice of slasher pie, now's your chance!

After all:

WE'VE ALL GOT A KILLER INSIDE US.

In Wicke, men hunt their wives in the forests. On the Burning Coast, they snatch them from the sea. But in Patrick’s mountain village of Blackfrye, boys lure brides down from the night sky itself.

And these make the happiest marriages of them all.

Don’t they?

At the end of this month, I'm going to be in a play! VOICELESS is a little romantic fantasy story with hags, curses, jiu jitsu, and a big dumb ogre guard played by me! This will be my first time acting on stage since middle school, so I'm pretty pumped.
