Starvation should never be a weapon of war. Children should never be targeted.

By anyone.

What's your favourite urban legend? Which ones terrified you as a child and crept behind you all your life?

How about three brand new urban legends?

"Mysterious. Horrific. Heartfelt. Knock on Wood drips with atmosphere and oozes with carnage while evoking an uncanny sense of beauty a la the Silent Hill franchise. It is seldom to find such a darkly beautiful tale as unsettling as this one."
- Felix Blackwell, author of Stolen Tongues.

Anthology Spotlight ✨️

Screams From Beyond the Veil contains my story "Peeping Polly."

Have you ever wondered what would happen if an urban legend was more truth than lore?

You're welcome...

Think castles, shapes behind curtains, and an eyeless ghost out for revenge.
She's watching you 👀

Anthology Spotlight ✨️

Scorned contains my story "Asking For It"

Have you ever wanted to see a bad man get what's coming to him?

You're welcome...

Again.

Think DV survivor, home invasion, and the type of happy ending we all want. Karma comes for us all.

Anthology Spotlight ✨️

Bloody Hell contains my story "They Stalk the Rows."

Have you ever wanted to see a really annoying tourist get their comeuppance?

You're welcome...

Think leprechauns, potatoes, and a booming Irish tourist industry. All that glitters isn't gold.

Current WIP. A historical/folk horror mish-mash.

Think Celtic tribes, sacrificial ceremonies, old gods, and the savage other.

More bodily fluids than anticipated 🙃

Human monsters, isolation, final girl vibes, Irish accents... Hush, My Darling has it all and then some!

Megan, Finn, and all the others will always hold space in my mind. Ted will always hold space in my heart 🐾🖤

Sequel novelette, Quietly Through the Trees coming in 2025.

Mannequins, death, gore and more...

Short, sharp and shocking, Test Town is the perfect intro to my writing. The response has been really positive, and I have a full-length novel in development!

We all need more mannequin horror in our lives 🙌
