Wicked Shadow Press: “Flash of the Dead SPACE!” – Space Anthologies!

I’m back in the popular selling Flash of the Dead series from Wicked Shadow Press. This time in a themed anthology of horror and dark science fiction set in outer space. Pieces less than 2000 words in length. And this time with a reprint from a few years back. While my story is set in a low gravity atmosphere, I would call this next one “humorous space horror.” Ask yourself this question. What if after mankind died out, extinct, dogs were the next in line to rule the cosmos. And what if one dog’s biggest threat…biggest horror…was a smart-alecky cat? Read my tale in FLASH OF THE DEAD – SPACE: “Every Cosmos has a Ruling Class.” All links and pictures will be below, so just scroll down. It’s 280+ pages. I believe my story is the final one. I end the book in epic fashion.

Flash Fiction Anthologies: “Flash of the Flesh” – Wicked Shadow Press!

I’m back again at Wicked Shadow Press in one of their themed flash fiction anthologies. They release a couple of these volumes per year, and the theme is usually different each time, so long as it has its fair share of horror and speculative fiction. Not only that, they sell well in India. So if you’re looking to get read abroad, you might want to look them up. They also produce nice looking books (layout and design). And this in turn has led to me nabbing a few commercial writing gigs (print publishing clips). This time they’ve come out with Flash of the Flesh. This is all extreme horror. As in Rated R scares and up to 1500 words in length. My piece is about a serial killer in my hometown (Brooklyn), who collects the faces of his victims. And sometimes, these visages speak back to him. Introducing my latest flash fiction story: “Whispers from the Mantle.” Pictures and clickable links down below.

FLASH FICTION ANTHOLOGIES: “Blink of an Eye” – Culture Cult Press

For my next piece, I have a brand new speculative tale in a flash fiction anthology. Flash fiction is a kind of story you can read quickly before bed, maybe if you’re on the subway on your way to work, or just waiting in a doctor’s office. They’re not time-consuming, you could say, due to their length. I am featured alongside seventy-four—yes, that’s right, a whopping 74—authors of quick stories falling between 500 and 1500 words in length. My tale is about a woman trapped inside a mysterious marble covered in dark matter. And there’s no way out, or is there? Blink of an Eye Dark Flash Fictions Anthology is the latest release from Culture Cult/Pulp Cult Press, edited by Parth Sarathi Chakraborty, and sold in the US via Lulu, and also in India. Enjoy my flash piece: “The Girl in the Malignant Marble.”
