SHORT STORIES

  • Hooked - Aurealis, #185, Oct 2025

    In the near future, people are fitted with enormous alien hooks. The alien tech sharpens their minds and lengthens their lives, but makes it difficult to sleep in a traditional bed. This story explores growing up and growing apart, culminating in a grisly scene pulled straight from one of my more unsettling stress dreams.

    "A chilling allegory about conformity, dehumanization, and the seductive dangers of technological assimilation..."
    - Eric Kimminau, Tangent

  • Dream Eater for Sale - Tiny Terrors (Spring 2025), Graveside Press, May 2025

    Psychological horror about grief and loss, with a bonus nightmare-sucking monster and a dodgy internet witch.
  • Wormbound - Crawling, Hear Us Scream Press, Sept 2023

    Inspired by the putrid experience I had on a beach when my kids were very young. Becoming a parent certainly dulls you to the multiple horrors of tenacious parasites.
