Seven years ago my thriller novel died on sub. It was devastating. I turned to writing horror because it’s my comfort genre as a reader. This year my debut, Palmetto Boy, came out. I have stories in three amazing anthologies. For anyone who needs to hear this, never give up on your writing!

ARC readers! Are you a fan of flintlock fantasy, cosmic/body horror, and doomed expeditions to nightmarish liminal spaces? Then you'll love DWELLER IN DARKNESS, my 130-page dark fantasy-horror novella out 9/22 from Timber Ghost Press. ARCs available via BookSirens and GoogleForm below:
ARC sign up graphic for my dark fantasy/horror novella Dweller in Darkness, out Sept. 22 from Timber Ghost Press, with tropes listed: flintlock fantasy, fungal body horror, cosmic horror, eldritch entities, doomed empire, liminal spaces DWELLER IN DARKNESS synopsis: All of Cassius Marius' life has been spent in service to the Pale King. Ever since his birth sixteen years ago on the night the Hero of Hathur died, his mother prepared him to join the Lightbringers: seven young men selected every equinox by the Church of the Pale King to descend underground to hunt and destroy the Dweller in Darkness, a chthonic entity the Church names as source of an unnatural blight ravaging Hathur and beyond, year after year.
Cassius has known since he could speak that he was destined to destroy the great evil poisoning his home. His inevitable confrontation with the Dweller on his holy descent changes him inside and out and puts him on a collision course with the Pale King he once worshipped. With his world and body crumbling around him, Cassius must choose between loyalty and honor, family and humanity, not to save his home. But to destroy it.

When I was a kid my dad bought a house that came with a box of old games, including Uncle Wiggily. The object of the game was to get Uncle Wiggily, who has rheumatism, to Dr. Possum’s office. I made a tiny version and it’s a little beat up looking but I love it so much! #miniatures #dollhouses

In my story "The Witch of Black Mountain" I invented Kentucky coal mining fairies called Damps - the spirits responsible for countless deaths in the mines. In fact, it's possible that Black Mountain's "Witch" isn't really even a witch after all... amzn.to/4eLSswd #HorrorWritersChat #HarlanCounty

I'm Shelly. In my longer fiction, I usually write ensemble-based horror situated in my home state of Maryland. The shorter stuff gets weird and moves all over the place, like a recent short told from the POV of murder weapons. As for fairies, yes. They'll steal your babies. #Horrorwriterschat
