Blog postFrom Tallhat Press, with a gorgeous cover and nine creepy interior illustrations by Yves Tourigny, comes my newest chapbook Music of the Moldering. This is a limited edition book, and it's going fast.
Strange things are afoot at the James S. Fresser Funeral Home. The new owner, Marcus Walther, has let things slip. Is it the exhaustion? The burden of responsibility? Or is it the old radio he found in the woods, the one that plays the strange, unsettling programming he remembers from his tee -

Blog postIn Vernon, Connecticut, in an L-shaped plaza set off a bit from a smaller L-shaped plaza (they formed a kind of a box around a Denny's where I spent a lot of time, mainly ordering the two-egg breakfast with fries, joking around with my brother and our friends, and bothering an older, put-upon waitress with the unlikely name of "Kitty"), there was a supermarket, like any other shopping plaza supermarket. At the front, on the right as one walked in, they had put up framed pictures of the

This fully illustrated chapbook will consist of 25 loosely connected flash tales of horror and the weird, each written by me and illustrated by Yves.

Blog postI present Nathan Ballingrud's full introduction to my book Creeping Waves. Needless to say, I am in his debt. Enjoy!
Station Identification: WXXT by Nathan Ballingrud
Nobody saw this guy coming. The small and indie press horror scene is a pretty self-aware bunch. Everybody might not know everybody, but everybody certainly knows of almost everyone, including a lot of the up-and-comers. With the proliferation of onli -

Blog postIt's been a busy year. The highlight was the publication of my story "Rangel" in "Year's Best Weird Fiction, Volume 3", edited by Michael Kelly and Simon Strantzas.
Here's what one reviewer had to say: I have a gut-level dislike of weird/horror stories about Halloween (it's a little too on the nose), but man, did I love this one. Like Glenn Hirschberg in "Mr. Dark's Carnival," Bartlett successfully uses the holiday festivities to emphasize a strong sens -
Blog postA WORD (from my forthcoming B-sides compilation Dead Air.)
The stories in this book were written between 2004 and 2009, approximately. Some of the poems were written as early as 1990, slightly modified in 2016. I started writing the stories on my Livejournal page in 2004. Some of them have since been modified or blown apart, and have appeared in similar or very different contexts in my books Gateways to Abomination and Creeping Waves. My vision for what Leeds is has changed since these ea -
Blog postInexplicably, or perhaps because I wrote it at 5 in the morning, I neglected in my Autumn Update to mention the fact that my story "No Abiding Place on Earth" is in the newly released Nightscript Vol. 2. When I read the first volume, I vowed to write a story for the second, and now I'm thrilled to be in an anthology with this impressive crew:
Michael Griffin, Kristi DeMeester, Christopher Slatsky, J.T. Glover, Eric J. Guignard, Malcolm Devlin, Gwendolyn Kiste, Ralph Robert -
Blog postGreetings all. It's been a busy time, in life and in writing, and to top it off, I've been stepping up promotion of my most recent book Creeping Waves.
I had the pleasure recently of being interviewed by Natalia Munoz on the Bill Newman show on WHMP, Northampton, Massachusetts. My stories take place in the fictional city of Leeds, Massachusetts - a thinly (very thinly) veiled Northampton, named after the lovely village of Leeds. The interview includes a brief reading. Gi -
