Novellas
I had two novellas come out this year:
Out of the Drowning Deep, a genre-mash up of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, murder mystery and noir, wherein biblically accurate angels team up with a human and an automaton to investigate the death of the pope on a remote and desolate planet.
“Fuckthemostholygodsandalltheirangels. The slim chance vanished. The disaster became real. The dead body was none other than His Holiness, the Pope.”
Grackle, a ghost-story/folk-horror road trip, wherein protagonist Andi goes chasing rumors of a haunting, and discovers different ghosts altogether than the one she was expecting.
“They called her Grackle. As if she wasn’t a person but a broken-winged bird they’d taken in, a shivering creature who should be grateful for whatever scraps they threw her way.”
Short Fiction
The Penthouse Suite at the Plague Pit Hotel, a short story about the possibly true, secret origins of clowns, published in Fear of Clowns: A Horror Anthology
The Slow Music of Drums, a short story about experimental music, digging into buried family secrets, and unearthing things better left alone, published in Northern Nights.
The Slow Music of Drums is also available in podcast format for your listening pleasure, thanks to the lovely folks at Pseudopod!
Reviews
I contributed regular short fiction review columns to Apex Magazine and Locus Magazine throughout the year.
