Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror
Hey, want to know what someone besides me thinks of the forthcoming book? Corners of the Deep Dark s tenacious antiheroes pulled me along on a brainy puzzle journey that left me wanting to read their next adventure. That blurb comes courtesy of Victoria Janssen and is much appreciated because a) blurbs are nice and b) [ ]
Corners of the Deep Dark is a space opera that drops on September 8th. You can get the first chapter as a free download from this site or the new Payhip store.
Today I and a bunch of other authors learned that Science Fiction Weekly has reprinted stories from Daily Science Fiction. My story Kill Switch is among those reprinted without permission. I have already emailed nastygrams and DMCA takedown notices, and I know I am not alone. Science Fiction Weekly describes itself thusly: Daily Science Fiction [ ]
Novels The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones (2025): This historical (with a modern frame) tackles genocide head-on. The bloody revenge portions don t quite rise to the level of power fantasy, and the you-are-what-you-eat body horror is overall excellent (if somewhat overplayed by the end).

Celebrate Halloween in July with this multimedia bundle. $20 for a bunch of creepy stuff. (My ghost story Always an After is in there.) I like the nod to Gravity Falls in the bundle name. As can be inferred from the dogs names (Dipper and Mabel), we re big fans of the show in this household.
So I finally, finally finished cleaning up the book manuscript.

But in the meantime, I have a series style guide, [ ]

The bundle runs from June 26 – August 17, $10 for 10 books ranging from shorts to series, science fiction to self-help. My short story Femme Prédatrice is included.

I m making an exception here, because I ve previously spoken well of Atthis Arts and the Bells. I ve known [ ]
I ve put Femme Prédatrice up for sale on itch.io. I ll doubtless put it up elsewhere, too, but I mainly wanted to get it in an upcoming book bundle and maybe get some more eyes on Animal Noir. I also enjoyed making a noir movie style title card using GIMP and a photo (originally in color) [ ]
Yep, it s another Pride-themed book bundle. $40 for 40 books, running from June 18–30. The Relative Positions of Dead Things in the Dark is in this one.
