ACCEPTANCE: ‘Spiteful Little Creatures’

· Leave a comment ·

I’m delighted to announce my short story ‘Spiteful Little Creatures’ has been accepted to appear in A Midnight Kind of Place’s Wasps anthology.

With uncanny body horror and sadistic trauma, this is a short little tale about cruelty and comeuppance. ‘Spiteful Little Creatures’ asks the reader to empathise with a much despised being, putting the audience in a vulnerable position full of fire and pain.

A Midnight Kind Of Place is a UK-based publisher specialising in short horror fiction, celebrating voices from the past and present. A new home for up-and-coming voices in the horror community, they focus on dreadful yet emotional tales that will creep you out and break your heart.

The release date for the anthology has yet to be definitively decided, but it should be out sometime next year. Follow this blog for updates!

ACCEPTANCE: ‘Pre-order Now’

· Leave a comment ·

I’m hyped to announce that my short story ‘Pre-order Now’ will be included in Agita Publishing‘s Side Hustle horror anthology.

A dark comedy horror told entirely through webchats, ‘Pre-order Now’ follows a man selling photos of corpses on the dark web for some extra cash and all the weirdos he interacts with. Unforunately for him, not everyone agrees with his dubious money-making scheme.

Described as a horror stories for late capitalism, Side Hustle is an anthology of horror and dark science fiction stories about the extra work we do to stay afloat. A particularly insidious aspect of late capitalism is that a lot of people can’t survive without taking second jobs, gig work, seasonal employment. Depending on your source, it could be as much as a third of the world’s population. These jobs are already horrifying enough: no benefits, shitty pay, dangerous conditions. But what if they were… darker?

Also featuring stories from: Lauren Bolger, Poppy Z. Brite, Mae Murray, Cardigan Broadmoor, Sasha Brown, Laura Dehaan, Felix I.D. Dimaro, Yasmeen Fahmy, Jennifer Lesh Fleck, Nick Hertzberg, Akis Linardos, Casey Masterson, Jorja Osha, Michelle Sturges-Brown, Emily Y. Teng, Kristina Warlen, Andrew Whalen and K.A. Wiggins.

Due to be published: March 2027
