Hey, I got a book signing Saturday, August 8th from 1pm to 4pm at Half Price Books in Oklahoma City! Be there!
"You gotta run. Run toward them." Never Leaving is out now from Infested Publishing! A haunted house story about a family fighting back. Enjoy a tale of love and chainsaws! On KU, Amazon, and bookshop! bit.ly/3Xu1HJz
You were distracted and now they’re lost You tried to find them, no matter the cost It’d been forty years, no hide nor hair When you heard their whispers, quite a scare! You swear you saw them behind the door But you looked and no one was there anymore (1/2)
Cosmic horror for under a buck! Con artists Serling and Price have found a strange device that allows them to create haunted houses. Unfortunately, they realize too late that the machine can do so much more… Only 99 cents: shorturl.at/fCEZ9
No rats in the wall Not one varmint at all Because you got a spider cat! There’s more everyday You can’t scare them away, Those clever spider cats! Now they got you wrapped up And you’ll soon be a husk Thanks to your spider cats!
Not even removing the parentheses from the form letter. At least it’s not the sixteen paragraph AI scam letters. Lol
When you die there’s a test, and it’s your very last one, You head across a tightrope bridge over a vast, gaping maw. Take a breath and keep your balance true, or you’re done, Left falling face-first into searing breath and a toothy jaw. (1/2)
Gramma’s Place A weekend at Gramma’s, oh what fun! All the woods and creeks and places to run She’s marked the trees so you know what’s safe With old animal skulls and nameless graves (1/2)
They dug up the doctor and his ol’ horse too All for no reason, just something to do But their bones were a mess, mixed up and jumbled So they trot with a wobble and run with a stumble In the dark they may seem like sinister cutthroats But you’re fine as long as you carry some oats
We’re at the zoo and off to the races Cuz all the monkeys have switched their faces They peeled ‘em off and are in the run Who knew the zoo could be so fun!
Got my copy! Thank you, @waynefenlon.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this!
Everyone’s got a pitch for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Might as well share mine! Originally written for a horror trope anthology, The Dream Demon is about how terrifying a Krueger figure would be if they took advantage of the subconscious. Enjoy! elfordalley.com/2026/07/16/t...

Sunday is the Shawnee Indie Author Showcase at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art! I’ll be selling books, and you can see mummies!

The dollar store parking lot cesspool. Summer means the water levels are low, but the cesspool never completely goes away. Fetid permanence, baby.
Get a signed book! See the fiberglass horses! I’m signing books at Lost Pages Bookstore Saturday from 1pm to 4pm in Shawnee, OK!
It’s summer break! Hazel is going on vacation to a cabin in the woods. A place with tales of Bigfoot, creepy-crawlies, and even a haunted lake. But Hazel must hold off on her cryptid hunt to help her younger cousin, Amelia, tell the ultimate scary story at the next campfire. shorturl.at/cSuX2
