Author of Weird Fiction and Horror
Issue #9 of Horror Bites Magazine is out now! It contains seven stories of horror from authors T. Thornton Gray, W.C. Jones, Travis Lee, J.S. Rogers, Ezekiel Kincaid, Dimitar Fabijanic, and myself with my short story, “Cairn Shore.”
The first six people can download it for free through Gumroad by using the code Castle-free.
If you prefer to pick it up elsewhere, it’s available digitally on Amazon as well.
Like most people who write, I’ve read quite a bit this year. Of course, not as much as I would like to, but what I’d consider an average amount.

Some might be published in 2018, some might have been published in 1998, even some earlier than that. Also, these are listed in no particular order.
Without further adieu…

Aphotic Realm released their fifth volume, Eldritch, about a week ago (a bit late to the announcement).

Joshi, and beautiful illustrations by Juan Fleites and an artist showcase for Evgeniya Egorova‘s work.
You can purchase Eldritch on Amazon!
