“The Wild Hunt:” One Month Since Release!!!

Wow, how quickly a month can go by. Are we already in December? Hold on, let me check outside….yes, it’s December. The chill and decorations confirm it!

Anyway, if you don’t remember, early last month I released my Christmas short story, “The Wild Hunt,” as an ebook from the major retailers. Originally published in Hellbound Books’ 2023 anthology Happy Hellidays, the story follows two sisters who run away on Christmas Eve, only to encounter something ancient and mythical in a blizzard. And no, they did not encounter Krampus. There are enough Krampus stories out there to begin with!

Anyway, during this past month, several people have taken an interest in this little story. In fact, it’s been a bestseller in some of Amazon’s subcategory lists, and a few people have even been kind enough to leave reviews! Considering it was kind of a whim to release this story as an ebook, this is more than I could have asked for.

Then again, writing the story in the first place was kind of a whim. I simply desired to contribute to the number of Christmas stories and songs written by Jews. But not only was it published, but people really enjoyed it and even put it on the Bram Stoker Recommended Reading List for that year. So, I guess these whims do turn out some good results every now and again.

Anyway, because I feel obligated to share them, here are the reviews people have been leaving for “The Wild Hunt:”

I felt the cold wind. I felt the biting pain of the snow on Tatum’s exposed face. I thought at any moment the girls’ father would track them down. This is a Christmas story, right? So maybe Santa would come rescue them.

I won’t say exactly what happens, but Ungar cleverly combines Santa with the Wild Hunt legend. So creative, so unexpected, and so Ungar-like. Loved it!

Priscilla Bettis, Amazon

This story is weighty in its themes and definitely not for the faint of heart. That said, it’s pretty fast-paced and has some creative mythology-inspired monsters. If you like having a quick read, this is worth the purchase.

Rose Black, Kobo

It’s always fun to see how an author will work on something familiar in the horror genre. In this case, it’s the wild hunt where mythical creatures are out there, hunting. This was a fun and enjoyable read that is nice for the Christmas season.

Ruth Ann Nordin, Amazon

Incredible, aren’t they? I’m happy so many people enjoyed the story enough to leave their thoughts. And I’m glad they all find it so creative! In a world where nothing under the sun is truly original, that is truly a compliment.

Speaking of which, it’s the holiday season. So, if you’re looking for a Christmas horror story, “The Wild Hunt” might be a good place to start. After all, it’s got Christmas spirit, and some terrifying spirits as well. Plus, it’s a short and affordable read, which is always nice. I’ll include links below.

And if you like what you read, I would be delighted if you left a review. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps both me and other readers out in the long-run.

That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’ll be sure to get back with you very soon (probably with my annual reflection of the past year and hopes for the coming year). But until then, good night, pleasant nightmares, and watch out for Krampus. His big day is on Friday!

“Hannah and Other Stories:” Two Months Since Re-Release!!!

Hello humans! Wow, time is really moving along, isn’t it? We’re only 38 days away from the end of 2025! Which will require its own blog post at some point, but right now, we’re hear to talk about something else. And that, dear humans, is the second-month anniversary of the re-release of Hannah and Other Stories!

Now, if you don’t know, Hannah and Other Stories is a collection of original stories that was released back in September 2023. The collection contained seven stories, including tales of ghosts, budding serial killers, and carnivorous horses, among other things. (You can see those pesky horses on the cover.) Sadly, the publisher I worked with to release Hannah decided not to renew our contract, and the book went out of print. I decided to re-release it on the two-year anniversary of its original release, complete with a new cover and a new edit.

And thus, on September 23, 2025, Hannah and Other Stories was re-released.

And I’m happy to say, people have been reading the book. It helped that the re-release happened right as spooky season was swinging into high gear, and I was attending so many events. Plus, unlike the first time around, there’s a print version of the book (it’s a long story, don’t ask), which definitely helped. No matter how digital we get, more people prefer print books to ebooks.

But like I said, people are reading the book. And that makes me very happy. I wanted to share these stories with as many people as possible and give them a bit of a thrill and fright with the products of my twisted imagination. And even better, a few people have left their thoughts on the books with reviews. Which makes me even happier, because that’s a great way to let both authors and other readers know how much you enjoyed a book!

Did I mention every review so far has been five stars? I would post them below, but even excerpts would be super spoiler-y.

Anyway, if you’re looking for something spooky to read; or if you know someone who might enjoy a copy as a gift this holiday season; or you just want to support me, I’ll include links below. You can check out the reviews and maybe see if the book is right for you. And if you do end up reading it, I hope you’ll share your thoughts. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps both me and your fellow readers in the long run.

And that’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’m sure the Americans among us all have a busy week ahead of us, what with Thanksgiving up ahead. But I’ll try to get out another post or two before the month is out. And until then, good night and pleasant nightmares.

“Welcome to Derry” Feels Like Returning to My Beginnings

I first read IT by Stephen King when I was eleven or twelve: the same age as the characters in the flashbacks. And while I had been reading The Vampire Chronicles and most of Anne Rice’s books up till that point, I didn’t exactly classify it as horror (Anne Rice herself preferred the term “Gothic saga”). So, for me, IT was my first jump into horror since outgrowing Goosebumps.

And it expanded my world. Not only did the novel terrify me, but it showed me just what great, mature horror storytelling looked like. From the terrifying and insidious nature of Pennywise and It’s many forms, to how the novel took the time to let us get to know characters both major and minor. I was entranced and enthralled, even as I was terrified, diving deep into the book every opportunity I could get and learning as much as I could.

By the time I finished the book that summer, I knew what sort of stories I wanted to write in the future.

Without IT, I would not be the writer I am today. Or the person. I might not even be blogging to you right now, now that I think about it!

I bring this all up because, if you weren’t aware, there’s a TV show airing on HBO Max called Welcome to Derry. Taking place in the same universe as the movies, the show goes into events during the 1962 cycle, which was the cycle before the first movie. And unlike the movies, which focused on a core group of characters first during their early teenage years and then during their adult years, Welcome to Derry focuses on a wide variety of characters, including school kids, military personnel at the local Air Force base, and the nearby Native American population.

It’s very Stranger Things in its character development and methods of storytelling. And since the creators of Stranger Things were heavily influenced by IT, among other things, I guess it’s coming full circle?

Well, it feels full circle to me, because while watching the show, I feel like I’m getting a reintroduction to the horror genre. Just like I did when I was a preteen and dove into King’s book. It feels like I’m getting lessons in how to do creative and powerful scares, storytelling with large casts, and character development every time I sit down to watch the show.

Which, while being told through a visual medium instead of a literary one, I’m grateful for. While I’ve made strides in becoming a horror author, I still feel like I have a long way to go before I can be at the same level as the authors I admire and regularly read. And while I learn something about good storytelling every time I enjoy a good book, show, or movie, I feel I’m getting a Master Class in the subject from this show.

Hell, I think in the short story I wrote most recently, some of what I gleaned from Welcome to Derry made it into the story. I wasn’t originally going to apply what I learned, but it occurred to me while I was writing, and I was like, “Oh. That’s good. That’s very good. Let’s try it.” And while I haven’t heard back from the alpha reader yet (I only sent them the story last night, after all), I feel like adding those elements gave the story an extra bit of excitement and terror.

So, with only four episodes of the show left (I have my doubts they’ll do a second season, though I would likely welcome one), I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next. And to seeing what I can glean for use in my own storytelling.

In the meantime, I’m going to get to work on some of that storytelling. I have stories to edit and send to the beta readers, after all. Wish me luck!

And in the meantime, good night and pleasant nightmares.

Surprise! “The Wild Hunt” is Now an Ebook!!!

Halloween has passed. Outside my condo, the decorations down. Meanwhile, the music stations and the big box stores are putting up the Christmas trees and the tinsel. People are planning their Turkey Day celebrations as preludes for the holiday season. What’s a horror author who basically lives every day as if it’s Halloween to do?

Simple: get in on it!

Some of you may recall two years ago a short story of mine was published in the anthology “Happy Hellidays” from Hellbound Books. The short story, called “The Wild Hunt,” followed two sisters who run away from home on Christmas Eve and come across a group out of ancient myth. I wrote the story because I wanted to follow in the tradition of Jews adding to Christmas music and literature,, though obviously it was a horror story. And, because Krampus stories have been done to death, I decided to focus my story on The Wild Hunt, a mythical group of supernatural hunters, monsters and spirits from legend and mythology.

Now, I decided to release the story as an ebook. It’s been a while since I released a single story like this, and I heard Christmas stories are enjoyed year round, so I thought, “Why the heck not?” Thus, I had a cover commissioned, and put the story out.

Here is the blurb that I’m using for the story:

“Happy Hellidays” from Hellbound Books, where “The Wild Hunt” was first published.

Tatum and Mia have lived under the oppressive thumb of their abusive father for years. But when their father threatens to separate the two sisters, Tatum makes the risky decision to run away on Christmas Eve and take her sister with her. But the blizzard raging isn’t the only danger out there this Christmas Eve. Something ancient and powerful is riding through the blizzard tonight. An army of hunters out of myth and legend.
Will these mythical hunters be the sisters’ salvation? Or their doom?

If you’re at all interested, I’ll leave links below so you can check the story out. It’s a short story, after all, so it should be a quick read, and I remember people really enjoying the story at the time it came out. So, if you decide to check it out, I’m sure you’ll love it.

(Please be aware due to a mistake with the setup on Apple Books, it won’t be available there till Wednesday, November 5th. However, it is available for preorder there.)

And if you end up reading it, I hope you’ll leave a review. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps both me and your fellow readers out in the long run.

Now, if anyone needs me, I had a long day and I might be getting sick, so I’m going to go indulge in some self-care. I just wanted to make sure people knew this story was available to read this holiday season.

So until next time, my Followers of Fear, good night, pleasant nightmares, and have a lovely holiday season.

“Symphony for Walpurgis:” Six Months Since Release!!!

Posted: November 1, 2025 in Novelette, Progress Report, Scary Stuff, Writing

Surprised it’s not a Hannah post? Call it a belated trick and treat!

So, if you weren’t aware, Hannah and Other Stories wasn’t the only collection I released this year. Symphony for Walpurgis is a collection of nine novelettes I released on May 1st, 2025, also known as Walpurgis Night, when witches are said to be their most powerful (you can read more about that here). I put a collection full of novelettes together because there aren’t a lot of venues for novelettes, which are stories between 7,500 and 17,500 words. Unfortunately, not many venues publish novelettes, and those that do prefer shorter novelettes, between 7,500 and 10,000 words.

Thus, Symphony for Walpurgis, which includes four previously published stories and five original stories. And the stories range from tales featuring cryptids, to stories of revenge and giant bats, and even to a story of a Jewish exorcism! Yeah, bet you didn’t know my people had exorcisms.

Anyway, six months have elapsed since the book came out, and what a six months they’ve been! Symphony for Walpurgis has quickly become one of my most popular books at events, and often sells out or gets close to selling out. I guess that cover and my description of the unusual stories inside appeal to horror fans.

In fact, I know it does, because I’ve read the reviews! Here are what people are saying:

Dipping my toes once again into the world of indie horror. And this, a rare read of single author short story collections.

All these stories are so very different, but they’re linked (in my mind anyway) by one common theme… that is, all these stories start out a certain way, but a turn of events during the narrative delivers a quite different story.

None of these stories are especially weak, but I have some stand out favourites: The House of Lafayette Square, Mother of Spiders, The Little Goddess of Horror, and Natural Predators. Even those I weren’t so keen on were solid, just a matter of personal taste.

Not my first outing reading this author, and it certainly won’t be my last.

MG Mason, Goodreads

Bravo! This might just be Rami Ungar’s best work yet. Offering tales of unearthly retribution, dark mysteries, vampires re-imagined and blood curdling entities, Symphony is a gloriously ghoulish anthology with something for almost every kind of horror fan.

I absolutely adored the introduction; it creates a spooky atmosphere straight away and is so much fun, putting you in exactly the right mood for the horrors ahead. Each story is creative and the characters are so vivid and well crafted– Rami has done an incredible job of filling every page with witty prose, clever descriptions and emotions which pulled me right into the characters’ minds. Mother of Spiders was my favourite tale, and definitely one of the most nightmarish.

Only two stories had plots which I wasn’t so keen on, but even then the writing was still engaging enough to make them enjoyable reads. 100% recommend!

Louise Conway, Goodreads

The best thing about this collection of stories is that I couldn’t predict what would happen next. For that, I give the book 5 stars. I enjoyed all of the stories, but it’s the “I didn’t think this was going to happen” fact that pushed them over the top.

Ruth Ann Nordin, Amazon

From the fiendish imagination of Rami Ungar, Symphony for Walpurgis presents nine stories, each with its own wildly imaginative tale to tell. The author’s acknowledged favorite, The Parasite Man, will make your skin crawl. In contrast, the warmth and psychological insight of The House on Lafayette Square made it this reviewer’s favorite above all. An underlying theme, returned to across several stories but never repetitively, is the revenge of the mistreated, wreaking havoc on a world they never made.

Ann O’Mara, Goodreads

I would include more reviews, but that would involve spoilers of some of the stories. But yeah, it shows how much people are enjoying the collection.

And if you’re interested in reading the book, or you’re looking for something to give your horror-loving family member or friend this holiday season, or you just want to support me, I’ll include links below. You can also read all the reviews that way.

Speaking of which, if you like what you read, please leave a review online so I know. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps me and your fellow readers out in the long run.

That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’m off to the Columbus Witches Ball. Until next time, good night and pleasant nightmares!

Updates on the Second Great Editing

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

So, if you have been here a while, you know I’m in the middle of editing a lot of stories, with the occasional new works sprinkled throughout. I’m calling this the Second Great Editing, as the original Great Editing was back around 2022 and 2023.

And you’re probably not wondering how that’s going, but I thought I would update you on how the Second Great Editing is going. And, to put it simply, it’s going well. Actually, it’s going very well.

The last time I talked about this, back in August, I mentioned that I had two novellas I needed to work on, plus a few new stories here and there. After that, my plans were open, but I had a feeling, of course, that there would be much more editing involved.

It’s been over two months since then, and I’m happy to say I edited those two novellas. One of them, by the way, I’d been putting off for ages due because it required a lot of rewrites. I’m still traumatized by having to rewrite two-thirds of Rose during one of the later drafts, after all. But once I started working on the novella, it came out wonderfully! I had such fun writing the new scenes and even finding a way to slide in Mothman! And as of last night, when I finished the edits on the novella, I couldn’t help but feel it was twenty times stronger than it was before!

Plus, Mothman. He’s a classic cryptid. You got to love any story he’s in, even if it’s just a silly cameo (though whether or not that’s what’s the case here, I’m not telling).

So, what’s next? Well, I wrote three short stories and one academic paper this year, and they need to be edited. So, I think I’ll do that next. I’ll also be sending the novella with the Mothman in it to a beta reader or two to see if they have any feedback for me.

And, I heard about an amazing anthology opportunity that I’m eager to participate in. It’s a long shot that I’ll get in, but I’ll write a story and send it in when the submission window opens. Who knows? I might get in.

And after that? Well, we’ll see what’s what then. But I have a feeling, the kind that usually comes true, it’ll involve editing. Though what I’ll be editing is up for debate.

Just a reminder, Followers of Fear: I’ll be at the Columbus Witches Ball this coming Saturday, November 1st, at the Ohio Brewing Company in Columbus, Ohio. In between the rituals and lectures, I’ll be selling books and doing Tarot readings. If you’d like to join me, I’ll include links to buy tickets below.

And if you’re not able to come but would still like to support me, or you’re looking for a spooky book for Halloween or for someone’s holiday presents, then I’ll include a link for my books page. From plant/human hybrids and strange gods to Mafia-hunting serial killers and carnivorous horses, I have something for every horror fan to enjoy!

And if you end up reading something of mine, please leave a review online so I know. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback. And it helps both me and other readers out in the long run.

That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. Until next time, good night, pleasant nightmares, and only a day and three hours till Halloween. Am I the only one salivating from excitement and bloodlust? Or are you salivating as well?

“Hannah and Other Stories:” One Month Since Re-Release!!!

Well, here we are. A month has passed. And is it just me, or did it pass by fast? Must be because so much happened in that month.

Anyway, you’re here, so let’s get to the meat of this post. As you know, last month I re-released my collection Hannah and Other Stories after it had gone out of print at the beginning of the year. The collection contains seven stories of ghosts, budding serial killers, and carnivorous horses, among other things, and now has a gorgeous new cover and edit, too.

And I’m happy to say, people have been showing interest in the collection. At my most recent event, in Chardon, I sold nearly half my copies of Hannah. I’ve also heard from several people who have bought copies or plan to buy them in the future. To know that people are reading and enjoying my books just makes my day. Especially since it’s October!

And now we’ve reached the one month mark. Honestly, after the book went out of print, I wondered what it would be like when I reached this point. Hell, since this the first time the book is out in a paperback edition (don’t ask, it’s a long story), I’ve been dreaming about where things would be once the paperback came out. And while not everything is the same as my daydreams (no dragon/motorcycle hybrids to ride around, for one thing), some of the details are right.

Like the smiles on people’s faces when I sign their books. And the photos I get from people who are excited when their copies come in the mail. Those moments mean the world to me.

Anyway, there’s still a little bit of October left, and I have a few events left before the end of the year (more on that later). So, if you would like to check out Hannah and Other Stories yourself; if you would like to support me; or if you’re looking for gifts for family and friends this holiday season, I’ll leave links below. After all, what horror reader wouldn’t love a book full of carnivorous horses, cosmic beasts, and the Paris catacombs, to boot? Especially around this time of year!

And if you end up reading the book, I hope you’ll consider leaving a review. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps both me and your fellow readers out in the long run. Plus, it’s just a nice way of letting authors know their work is being read and appreciated.

And what’s not to love about that?

Also, one more thing, Followers of Fear: in two days, my friends in HWA Ohio and I will be holding another Scary Saturday event at the Columbus Metropolitan Library! From 12p-4p on Saturday, October 25th, 2025, at the library’s Main Branch, me and my fellow horror writers will be doing readings, playing silly games, and even giving away a prize basket! And costumes are heavily encouraged.

You can register for the event using the link below.

That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’m off to work, and later to drink in celebration of the big anniversary. Until next time, good night, pleasant nightmares, and 8 days till Halloween! Have you met the carnivorous horses yet?

“Hannah and Other Stories:” Two Weeks Since Re-Release!!!

Well, we’re well into October, which means its every horror fan and horror writer’s favorite season. It’s also the season where the latter do our damnedest to get people reading our books, so I might as well keep up the tradition. Specifically, I’ll be promoting Hannah and Other Stories, which has been out in both ebook and paperback for two weeks now!

So, in case you didn’t know, Hannah and Other Stories is a collection of short stories that I originally published through BSC Publishing Group back in 2023. The collection contains seven tales, including tales of ghosts, budding serial killers, and carnivorous horses. Unfortunately, when my contract with BSC Publishing Group ended, the book went out of print, so I decided to re-release it on the two-year anniversary of its original release. That was two weeks ago, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

And, for the first time, the book is available in both paperback and ebook (we only did ebook last time). Not only that, but it’s got a new cover and a brand new edit. It’s even better than before!

And since we’re in the middle of October, it’s perfect reading for Halloween season, so I’m hoping plenty of people will want to read it. In fact, I’m doing quite a few events this month just to get the book in people’s hands (more on those below). With any luck, people will not only get copies, but read it. Maybe even review it.

And speaking of which, if you’re at all curious and want to read Hannah this Halloween season, I’ll include links below. And if you enjoy what you read, please leave a review or rating online somewhere. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps me out in the long run.

Until next time, my Followers of Fear, good night, pleasant nightmares, and 24 days till Halloween. Has anyone else started growing horns and a forked tail, or is that just me?

One more thing, my Followers of Fear: this Saturday, I’ll be in Chardon, Ohio for the Ohio Viking Festival and the Cryptid Con & Curios Fest (sort of like a double festival or a festival within a festival). I’ll be selling books and doing Tarot readings from noon to 6 PM, so if you can stop by, please do. I would be happy to see you.

“Hannah and Other Stories:” One Week Since Release!!!

Wow, can you believe it’s been a week since Hannah and Other Stories was released? And wow, what a week it’s been! Rosh Hashanah, the return of Law & Order, a million things at work, the release of my article “Scary Catharsis” (which you can read here). And now, we’re back at Tuesday.

And already, the new edition of Hannah and Other Stories is getting a lot of positive feedback. I’ve got a five star review on Amazon just a few days after the release, and, at the time of writing this, there are hopefully more on the way. Hell, one of the supervisors at work said he was going to read it (he preordered a copy a couple of months ago), so he might leave a review!

And with October up ahead, I have some events coming up. I’ll be selling books directly to readers. Hopefully, some of them will be interested in reading Hannah. I mean, a book full of stories featuring ghosts, budding serial killers, and carnivorous horses? If that doesn’t sound like great Halloween reading, then I’m a tuna fish. And I’m not.

Speaking of which, if you would like to check out a copy or the review of Hannah, I’ll leave links below. And if you like what you read, it would mean a lot if you left a review. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and it helps both me and your fellow readers in the long run.

That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. I’m off to a full day of work and hopefully more stories to work on tonight. Until next time, good night, pleasant nightmares, and…31 days till Halloween?!

NOW IS THE TIME, NOW IS THE HOUR. WORDS ARE OUR MAGIC, HORROR IS OUR POWER!

Oh, one more thing, my Followers of Fear: I got a surprise event on Saturday! Bite This by Annie, aka The Spooky Bakery, is a goth bakery with a rotating menu, and they also like to help out the local writing community. And, with October here, they’re letting me and my fellow horror writers sell our books outside their bakery!

If you’re at all interested, please stop by the Bite This by Annie Bakery at 3009 North High Street, Columbus OH 43202 from 9 AM – 3 PM. Me and my fellow members of HWA Ohio will be selling books, I might be doing Tarot readings, it’ll be fun. Hope to see you there.

My Article “Scary Catharsis” Has Been Published in The Horror Zine!!!

Ever read a horror story or watched a horror movie and felt your stress just melt away? If you’re outside the genre, you might not. But if you’re inside the genre, it might happen quite often. In fact, I’ve often talked about the soothing effect of horror on certain fans, both here and on YouTube. And now, I’m pleased to announce that an essay I wrote about the subject, “Scary Catharsis,” has been published on The Horror Zine!

I’m very pleased, as this is a subject I’m quite passionate about, and The Horror Zine is a well-known publication and website among horror fans and horror creators. So, to have the essay published in such a cool magazine is an honor. And who knows? Maybe this article will get people who would never have considered it to try horror to relax. You never know.

I’ll include links to the article and to the October issue, in which the article shows up, below. If you like what you read, please let me know what you think. Also, let me know what horror films or books you consider very cathartic and relaxing. Personally, I find Prince of Darkness never fails to put me in a good mood. And when I was moving, Needful Things by Stephen King helped keep me somewhat sane during the transition.

Also, thank you to Jeani Rector for publishing my essay and for being so patient with me. I know it wasn’t easy.

That’s all for now. Until next time, my Followers of Fear, good night, pleasant nightmares, and 35 days till Halloween. Remember, chupacabras need homes too.
