As you’ve probably heard by now, my novelette “Blood and Paper Skin” was accepted by The Dark Sire, a local Ohio horror publication, for serialization over three issues. And, as of today, The Dark Sire, Issue 8 is available for purchase!
For those of you who don’t know, “Blood and Paper Skin” is about a bunch of young adults who go out to buy some drugs, only to be kidnapped and thrown into a prison-like room. There, they meet their captor, who goes by Old Man, and has brought them to this place for a sinister purpose.
I’m so excited for you all to read it, and I hope you enjoy reading it over the next several months. Part 2 will be serialized in late October, I believe. Right in time for Halloween! I’ll let you know for certain when it’s available.
And please make sure to leave your thoughts once you’ve read the issue. The Dark Sire is a great magazine of horror and psychological fiction that tries to support its authors as much as possible. With that in mind, the support from readers is quite important. I hope you’ll support them and even subscribe to the magazine, so it can continue to publish and give voice to a new generations of authors.
Though honestly, that cover should give you all the reason to read it and provide feedback. I mean look at that cover! Look at it!
Also, make sure to check out the other recent publication I’m in, the undersea horror Into the Deep. It has my novelette “Cressida” in it, as well as a number of great stories from a variety of authors. Actually, it’s been high in Amazon’s rankings since release, and just got its first review the other day (thank you, Priscilla Bettis, my loyal Follower of Fear). The paperback is now available, so make sure to order a copy if you wanted one.
That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’ll be up early on Saturday for a special release event for Issue 8 from The Dark Sire themselves. Until next time, pleasant nightmares!

Aw, thanks for the shout out.:-) I got my (digital) copy of The Dark Sire. I’m looking forward to reading it!
Yay! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I super-enjoyed this first installment of your kidnapping story! I am rooting for the abductees to escape. And I tike Grey. He’s likable and relatable and has a cool name.:-)
Thanks, Priscilla! That means a lot to me. I’ll let you know when the next installment is due out.
The cover is terrific.
Did you see my dad’s impression of it on Instagram?
No, I didn’t. I’ll need to check it out.
It’s both accurate and hysterical. 😂
