Transatlantic CoffeeΒ by Neil James I’ve pictured this scene a thousand times. A table by the window, people-watching in Manhattan, waiting for Sapphire. Rush hour’s a restless river of frantic wipers, headlights, and honking horns. …

Illustration from the Augur issue the story appears in, with an adult hugging a child with lake weeds in the background, and a gray fish spirit in the foreground. Text says, BSFA shortlist news! My story "Of Seagrass Fins and Slippery Fingers," Augur 8.2, is on the BSFA shortlist! A child-stealing lake spirit is no match for a mother who won't give up. BSFA members & Eastercon attendees can vote!

COMING SOON!

Digging through an old hard drive, I found a few things I thought I had lost.

One of those things was the first horror story I ever completed.

I have never thought myself all that good at short fiction, but, alas, I plan to release it to the world.

Is it good? I'll let you decide

Messy seascape in oils: viewed from a beach, waves breaking onto the rocks in the foreground with dark, sheer cliffs either side. An ochre sky, with dark clouds to the left, with an orange sun appearing; patches of blue, white and pale yellow - also reflected off the ocean.

Hare-Raising Summer (Paperback) β€” Cat Eye Press LLC Shop the first installment in the Navigating Nightmares series!

So, I wrote this book, and I’m pretty proud of it. It’s an interactive horror story called Hare-Raising Summer. It’s a little creepy, a little scary, a little cheesy, and hopefully a lot of fun. I hope you’ll check it because I totally want to write more of them.

Review: For Human Use by Sarah G. Pierce | FanFiAddict Synopsis: Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken the w ...

In her funny and vicious debut, β€œFor Human Use,” Pierce wields discomfort intelligently and makes the unthinkable imaginable- all without collapsing into mere shock, provocation or its own audacity.

"Mr. Felts"

A piece directly inspired by the true villains of Appalachian History and culture. The hollow nature of the capitalists who kept us in company towns. A horror that still is felt to this day.
