I'm a writer of SF, horror, weird fiction. My short story collections include PUNKTOWN and THE UNNAMED COUNTRY, while my novel DEADSTOCK was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award and my novel MONSTROCITY was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award.

Director Polly Schattel's short film AFTER THE FALL (based on my story by that name) can now be seen on the YouTube channel Crafty Short Films. Following a mysterious, possibly apocalyptic event, a grieving family contemplates their own lives in an unknowable cosmos.

My newest book is the horror novel THE IDOL. Sigrid Kant is a rare type of individual in possession of an uncanny charisma. However, those most strongly bewitched by her beauty experience the strange compulsion to sacrifice their lives to her, in order to prove their devotion... a.co/d/hntPjyU

I don't know what to write about for my first post here. I *could* plug my latest book, but I don't want to come across as obnoxious (so soon, at least). So...I enjoy collecting cool, potentially inspiring images, such as this mixed media piece by Jennifer J Renzel.
