AMERICAN CANNIBAL
Edited by Rebecca Rowland
COMING MARCH 7TH, 2023
Includes my short story, "Flesh Communion"
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to (rep)eat it.
A mother and daughter negotiate the Oregon Trail with grisly results; an elementary teacher watches the carnage of The Challenger explosion spill over into her own classroom. A possible prospector traveling west is drawn to an isolated inn where no one walks away hungry; a 1950s housewife shares the gruesome repertoire of behavior expected of a proper lady. Prohibition and women’s suffrage, the Civil War and the Vietnam War, the JFK assassination conspiracy and the Y2K hysteria: the annals of American history are reimagined with a side order of cannibalism by twenty of the biggest names writing horror fiction today.
Forget what you read in the textbooks.
Everything you were taught about the Land of Liberty is about to be history.
NIGHTMARE SKY: STORIES OF ASTRONOMICAL HORROR
Edited by Red Lagoe
Includes my short story, "Star of San Luis"
The very dust of the stars' explosive pasts traveled lightyears across the unknown, and now that dust pulses through our veins, drawing our eyes up, back to our origins. Since the dawn of humanity, the stars have called for us to gaze upon their brilliance, and we sit around campfires and make up tales of their histories. Tales which are often fraught with horror.
Ranging from psychological to apocalyptic, sci-fi to bizarre, quiet to gruesome and all the horrors in between, these 28 dark stories and poems explore our awe-inspiring-and terrifying-human connection to the stars. Take a look through the eyepiece and into an astronomer's failing mind. Observe an obsessed lover who can't get enough of the celestial view. Board a space station as the last remaining people debate whether humanity is worth saving. And ask yourself... What will you do when the sky begins to devour us all?

DANCING IN THE SHADOWS: A TRIBUTE TO ANNE RICE
Edited by Rebecca Rowland & Elaine Pascale
Includes my short story, "Blood of the Rougarou"
With her hauntingly beautiful reimagining of archetypal monsters from classic horror, Anne Rice was the undisputed queen of contemporary gothic literature. Her contribution to the movement first established by Shelley, Stoker, and Stevenson revitalized and continues to inspire dark fiction writers and readers. Dancing in the Shadows pays tribute to Rice’s legacy with tales from today’s most innovative authors, drawing from the darkness where vampires and witches, mummies and rougarous, spirits and demons move to the music of nightmares.
