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

Posted on October 26, 2026

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.”

Wicked Shadow Press: “Flash of the Dead HALLOWEEN 2026…” – ANTHOLOGIES!

Posted on October 1, 2026

It’s October (aka spooky season), so that means I’m back in Wicked Shadow Press’s Flash of the Dead Halloween Anthology. This time for 2026, and they really went with a nice cover this year. As always, they’ve got a tremendous lineup. Most of the stories are what’s called “flash fiction,” and these are tales which usually run between 500 and 1,500 words in length. What I like to call small bites. While most of the stories are themed around All Hallows’ Eve, my tale is about the horrors of time travel. You know, like being stuck in a time period you can’t adapt to or like very much? Or being in quarantine. Or, even worse, the horrors of being forced to reside with somebody you don’t like… and ingest castor oil. Read my story in Flash of the Dead Halloween 26: “Nothing but Time and Oil.” Pictures and links will be below as usual.
