This is so surreal...

This Way Lies Madness has been officially nominated for the Bram Stoker Award! My story Nothing in the Boy is included in this anthology. I'm so honored to share the pages with such powerful, haunting, unsettling voices. Horror dreams come true are strange things... Eeek!

This Way Lies Madness - Flame Tree Publishing In the tradition of Poe’s The Tell-tale Heart, This Way Lies Madness presents fictional interpretations of madness from some of the biggest names in

P.S. Remember when I said I'd be better about posting exciting news?

Well, that was a lie, because I've known for weeks that This Way Lies Madness (the Flame Tree anthology featuring my story Nothing and the Boy) has made it onto the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Awards!!!

Little Red Flags: Stories of Cults, Cons, and Control Twenty-one tales of frightening fanaticism! Nobody joins a cult. They find a family, a movement, a sense of meaning. And nobody falls for a con. They trust a friend, a so-called expert, an opportunity...

I've got a new story out in Dark Matter's latest anthology, Little Red Flags, and WOW was this one a head-trip to write!! A small town medical examiner, a rock-n-roll cult, and a mummified cult leader still feverish to the touch.

Kinda in love with this sick little story...

After the Solstice by Amanda Cecelia Lang – Cupid's Arrow Publishing Every summer solstice, on the same sun-drenched beach, he finds her.

My novelette, After the Solstice, comes out today!!

A dreamy sci-fi romance about two mysterious strangers and a love that only appears on the longest day of the year.

Another fun fact: lately, I’ve been really super bad about celebrating the little-big things I’m proud of, but I’m trying to do better. This feels like a good place to start. 🖤

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

I'm so excited to have a new story out in The Deadlands!! "For Those Who Stay Buried" is a dark fantasy about broken love, feral hope, and taking back your power, however imperfectly.

Spent my entire life deciphering the difference between horizontal and vertical by reminding myself that the "zontal" in horizontal kinda sounds like slanted, which is sideways, side to side...

I was today years old when I realized it has the word horizon in it. Yep, folks, I'm taking a bow...

Swirling stars streak the night sky in the background, colored in shades of purple. The cover of Psychopomp is overlaid on it with checkered yellow and green squares behind it. The cover of Psychopomp, art by Katerina Belikova, shows a woman named Young in a spacesuit/miner's suit. The book cover text reads: author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief Maria Dong "Science Fiction at its best" - Yume Kitasei, author of The Deep Sky and The Stardust Grail. PSYCHOPOMP.
