Continue reading →: “Horrifying things, inconceivable to the human mind.” – Spiritism (1962)Recently, I stumbled upon a library of K. Gordon Murray releases on the Internet Archive. (Which would have been worth it for this thing alone.) Given my predilections, I knew what I had found immediately, but for those who have spent their lives in more worthwhile pursuits than I, who…

Continue reading →: This Is the End (of the Year)For a recent freelance assignment, I did some research on why the new year falls when it does (at least, for those of us who mostly use the Gregorian calendar). The answer is complicated and, as with the answer to most questions, boils down to, “There are several compelling theories,…

Continue reading →: Best HorrorI didn’t publish a lot of new stories in 2025, but I had fun with the ones I did, including the two (and a half) stories in the Starlight Theater Halloween Double-feature zine that I did with artist Patric Bates, and my story “The Phantom of the Wax Museum” in…

Continue reading →: Two Came for HalloweenFor those who haven’t been following along, I have not one but two books that came out this month, both of which are currently available – one of them for a very limited time!

Continue reading →: Hollow Earth Expeditions: Inside at LastIt’s publication day! Notes from Underground arrives in bookstores today, and should be landing in the hands of those who pre-ordered any day now, if it hasn’t already. Among other things, that means this will be our last Hollow Earth Expedition, and that you’re getting it a day early. I…

Continue reading →: Hollow Earth Expeditions: The King of FearI like to think that the stories in Notes from Underground contain more melancholy than terror, but this is still a horror collection, and these are still horror stories. You don’t have to take my word for it, either – one of them made it all the way into Ellen…

Continue reading →: Hollow Earth Expeditions: A Warning to Future ManWhile each of the stories in Notes from Underground is linked in some way with my conception of the Hollow Earth, not all of them take place within it, or even adjacent to it. Some involve other phenomena that merely intersect with the Hollow Earth, including two stories preoccupied with…
