The British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) Long List came out at the end of January, and lo and behold, Weathering Youth is one of the collections that was nominated!

My friend Raven Oak is currently running a Kickstarter for The Bell Ringer and Other Holiday Tales, a collection of art and short stories with a holiday theme. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and having read some of Raven’s stories in the past, the stories are certain to be equally great! This Kickstarter is a very […]

The Strange Garden and Other Weird Tales by Alex Kingsley (2023) is dark and hilarious in equal parts, weaving seamlessly between the two, sometimes even in the same story. A number of the stories are previously published, but the collection also includes some new stories as well. As with many collections, I enjoyed the majority […]

Denizens of Distant Realms is a brief collection, with only six short stories. All of these stories have stuck with me over the years, though, and I’ve even recently been writing another story that fits into the same tangentially shared world of these six stories. If these stories were placed in chronological order, I think […]

Some of the stories approach horror, while others are just slightly spooky. Doorways can lead to many marvelous places. In this collection, however, the scenes they reveal are shrouded in gloom […]

When I’m writing in a superhero universe, I generally write heroes and not villains. But for “A Sixteen Step Plan to Supervillainy,” I decided to try out the other side of the fence. After all, villains believe themselves to be the heroes of their stories, so why not write a sympathetic villain story? “A Sixteen […]

My latest book review is up at Mad Scientist Journal, for Why Didn’t Someone Warn You About Prince Charming? by Jameson Currier. It’s a collection of short stories with gay male protagonists, and it’s a really neat look at how one author has written variations on a common theme! You can check out my review here, or […]
