Bloody Bones

​You can't kill what's already dead.
 
Thirty years ago, the stranger came to a sleepy southern town on the edge of a swamp and the killings began. Wearing a black suit and passing himself off as a traveling preacher, the Dark Man targeted children. But when he took the daughter of the local hoodoo woman, she exacted a terrible revenge.

​Now, a murder and a gruesome burial resurrects the stranger. Can two boys, a witch, and a deputy stop the monster from sating his unholy appetite?
 
Bloody Bones is coming to get you

A PRISONER OF DREAMLAND 

Picture
Here there be manticores!
 
Welcome to Dreamland, where the stars are hungry and unspeakable horrors dog the dreamer’s heels. 
 
Dream logic is as squirrely as March weather. Anything’s possible. The dead may rise, and that lover you thought you would spend your life with but haven’t seen in decades could be waiting around the next corner happy to see you. Or devour you.
 
That light glimmering in the evening mist? Follow it at your peril! And whatever you do in the land of Morpheus in pursuit of adventure or mystery, do not, under any circumstance, as you value your immortal soul, disturb the dreams of slumbering gods.
 
From the cosmic to the ghostly, A Prisoner of Dreamland and Other Oneiric Terrors presents fourteen tales that take the reader on a tour de force journey through the twilight kingdom of dreams.

​​NIGHT'S PLUTONIAN SHORE TRILOGY

My NIGHT TRILOGY--Night's Plutonian Shore, The Clocks of Midnight, and The Mirror of Eternity--is being published by Crossroad Press under their Macabre Ink imprint. So excited!!

In a universe where the world and all we know is just the lowest plane of existence and horrors wait on the astral planes and in the angles of time to feast on the unwary traveler, it's up to a neophyte wizard and a fledgling sibyl to keep the cosmic wolves at bay.

NIGHT'S PLUTONIAN SHORE

Researching sustainable energy, Rick’s best friend Wally has discovered a means to tap into the bioplasmic energy field that surrounds all living things. He envisions trains and office towers running off collective psi. But when he invites his friends to test his psychotronic generator, they unleash demons residing in the human old brain, the seat of aggression and primal drives. 
 
As the body count rises, it becomes clear, for these creatures of the id to survive, their creators must die. Pursued by police and hunted by their doubles, the choice is simple: kill or be killed.
 
Even if the face of the enemy is your own.

You'll find my Lovecratian nightmare 
Rain
in the Valancourt Book of Horror, Vol. 4. This latest addition to the acclaimed series features 15 more great horror tales — all by Valancourt authors — from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. This volume features five brand new stories that have never appeared elsewhere, two rare foreign stories translated to English for the first time, and eight more scarce and seldom-seen tales.
The stories in this volume will take you inside the vivid dreams of a woman who can kill in her sleep; to the set of a reality show where contestants may be transformed into specimens of beauty—or into freak show monsters; to a hotel where guests are besieged by a powerful hurricane—and by something even more terrible and deadly. You will read of the bizarre and macabre adventures of a man seeking a skeleton in 1960s London as a gift for his medical student cousin—and his quest's shocking outcome. You will learn how a simple grammar mistake can lead to a terrible and untimely end for a traveler in Venice. 

A horror anthology like no other, Vol. 4 includes brand new stories by Elizabeth Engstrom, Steve Rasnic Tem, and yours truly!

Hellnotes Reviews calls

in which
“natural disasters (an endless deluge) and supernatural evil blend to produce a terrifying, unforgettable mix.”
