Aphorisms Should Be Peaks

If you like gruesome, horrific short stories, then you'll love my most recent publication in the anthology Shopping List 3: 21 Tales of Terror!   You can find the book HERE at Amazon! Please pick up a copy and leave a review (5 stars only)! Warning. This is a disturbing story. Okay, all of them are disturbing. Am I a disturbed writer? Of course I am, and I like to read expressive, colorful, and frightening literature. To me, there are not enough short stories out there like Stephen King's Graveyard Shift , or Ray Bradbury's The Small Assassin . So I write what I would like to read. Enjoy!

I once had a dream about monstrous spiders invading from space. I woke up from the nightmare and wrote it down. Years later, I found the mad scribbling and transformed it into a short story. The short was accepted and published in Wildside Press' Weirdbook #38 in 2018. If you enjoy short, gruesome horror/sci-fi, then you'll love Abomination is Her Name . You can find Weirdbook #38 at Amazon.com!

October of 2017 celebrated my return to published writing. I was proud to have my short story Hunting the Southern Flatlands published in the anthology Bon Appetit: Stories & Recipes for Human Consumption. The story follows a father and son who live in the post-apocalyptic world that was once America. It's a tale of family, values, traditions, and cannibalism. I hope you enjoy it! Bon Appetit: Stories & Recipes for Human Consumption can be found at Amazon.com.

Here is a short piece of "flash fiction" from my past. " 5 Steps in Your Evolution " by Joseph Cameron was published by Monkey Bicycle when I was in grad school at UNLV.  Read it by clicking HERE .
