Wicked Shadow Press: “Halloweenthology 2026 – RAZOR CANDY!” – Horror Anthologies…

Some of you who follow my website may know that the last couple of years I’ve been in a bunch of seasonal horror anthologies from Wicked Shadow Press in Kolkata, India. Well, this year I’ve got an “extreme” paranormal story in their Halloween-themed anthology, Halloweenthology 2026 – Razor Candy! It’s the kind of ghost story you don’t see every day. About a farmer and his collection of dead kids. And one of these kids is more supernaturally powerful than the rest in October, and only the month of October. This story never appeared in print. Only as a podcast adaptation (audio). Halloweenthology 2026 is the perfect place to finally read it in its original literary format. The ending hits with a punch; hey, you know me and my children’s horror. Read my latest offering in Wicked Shadow’s Halloween book: “The Children of the Barn.”

CHRISTMAS HORROR: “Merry Creepsmas” – Wicked Shadow Press

My next story is also a newbie. And while the anthology it is being featured in is holiday oriented (one of Christmas-themed horror)… My short story could best be described as dark, dystopic science fiction. It is a tale of warning. With DeepSeek and humanoid robots a reality, the future if we are not careful. A tale of man versus machine. A tale of one prisoner explaining Christmas and yuletide blessings to his captor. A tale of human versus AI. Or, just perhaps, if we are not careful, what AGI might become. There are a lot of great holiday stories in this book. The layout and presentation from Wicked Shadow Press is nothing short of excellent, and these books are hot in India. Prepare yourself for my brand new story of what generative AI might evolve into in a few decades: “For my Enemy on Christmas.” Ordering details at the bottom.
