Ten Brides

This is a flash piece I wrote for The Future Fire's Tenth anniversary writing contest. Even though the word "contest" is plainly stated, my brain somehow glossed over it and I didn't realize it WAS a contest until I was contacted and told I'd tied for the win. So I've got a couple of lovely …

I don’t want to go into space

It has recently come to my attention that I'm not ready to go into space.

The Last Werewolf

Frankenstein’s Army

Hand to god, I am not making this up. Here's a mash-up that probably falls into the category of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Dutch director Richard Raaphorst is trying to revive (pun intended) his WWII Nazi-zombie horror project, which began life as 'Worst Case Scenario'. The gist of it is Hitler …

How Dark is Too Dark?

So I'm steaming along with the vampire novel, kind of wrapping things up and bringing things to a close, and thinking now about the revisions ahead of me. There are parts of the story that will be getting an extreme makeover, and some of that will involve upping the horror quotient by several degrees. All …
