I have a brand new folk horror story in this big anthology just released in time for Halloween by Hellbound Books Publishing and edited by Jae Mazer. Technically, you can even consider it one part “Horror-Mance.” Think supernatural folk meets dark romance. It’s called Hellbound Books Anthology of Folk Horror. It’s got a tremendous lineup. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for creepy, seasonal, folksy fare. My story is about a single mother who dates a pumpkin man. The story is told from the perspective of her son. And this pumpkin man has a dark secret. He’s a charming guy with a classy car, and he drives a locomotive. But where do those train tracks and that locomotive in the pumpkin patch lead? To hell? Why is this creature serenading this kid’s mother? You can find out in my new story: “Mom’s New Boyfriend: The Pumpkin King.”

I’m pleased to announce that I have a brand new paranormal story set in my hometown in BOOK 4 of Frost Zone Stories. I don’t know whether to describe this as a book or a journal. It’s really nice. Contents put together professionally. Quality. So I’ll throw it up in both Books-Anthos & Magazines. Frost Zone Stories describe themselves as a publisher of ghostly/supernatural fiction they like to call “Quiet Horror.” And boy oh boy, do I have a haunting, atmospheric tale for you. It takes place in the heart of Times Square soon after the Nixon/Watergate scandal. High crime levels. The Son of Sam. The NYC Blackout. Yes, the 1970s! And everything in this tale, the businesses and places mentioned… These are real establishments. I grew up not too far from here. The age of Triple X movie theaters and drug-dealing pubs and arcades, long before it became the Disneyland that it is today. This is all real history here (well, minus the ghosts). I’ll leave all pics and essential links below, like I usually do. Read my “New York Horror” story: “The Bar that Remembered.”
