THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR, the anthology I edited for Denver Horror Collective, made it on to Horror Writers Association 2022 Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot for the anthology category.
Have you picked up your copy yet?
There are those who don’t simply hunt their demons down, but gleefully grab them by the throats, squeeze the life out of them, and dip their pens in the blood to chronicle the tale—we call them horror fiction writers.
This October, celebrate Halloween season by confronting the demon on your chest with Atlas Obscura and six horror authors. Gathered together at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop, authors will unveil their psyches, recount the battles they’ve waged against their own personal demons, and share the stories these clashes inspired.
TICKETS (Drinking tickets include a selection of white and red wine.)

I’ll be reading and selling/signing books in Denver, Colorado tonight, February 23, at 6pm-8pm at the BookBar (4280 Tennyson St. Denver, CO 80212) along with over a dozen horror writers!
I’ll read a selection from my short story, “Viremia,” published in Campfire Tales by Deadman’s Tome and selling copies of that book as well as Demons, Devils, and Denizens of Hell by Hellbound Books, which includes my short story “There Shall Be No Night.”
RSVP here.
Here’s the deets:
My short story, “The Cat’s Meow,” received a Silver Honorable Mention from the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest!
What does this mean? Not much, really—simply that my story beat out a few thousand other entries to be selected for a category slightly above the ordinary, non-metallic Honorable Mentions, but far, far below the actual winners, finalists, and semi-finalists.
(What’s more important is that “The Cat’s Meow” will be published in Disturbed Digest by Alban Lake Publishing in June 2018.)
One thing that’s been keeping me up at night: If I’m a writer of the future, does that mean I’m not a writer of the present?
This Friday night @ 5 pm PT / 6 MT / 7 CT / 8 ET come to the online release party for Demons, Devils and Denizens of Hell–which includes my borderline blasphemous short story, “There Shall Be No Night”–to enter contests and win free giveaways from Hellbound Books!
Yours ghouly (god that’s awful) was featured in the Horror Writer Association Colorado’s Member Spotlight!
My blasphemous short story, “There Shall Be No Night,” will be published in 2018 in Demons, Devils, and Denizens of Hell 2, an anthology by Hellbound Books!
Check out the rest of my published and forthcoming fiction here.
