His short fiction has been featured in publications such as: Flash Fiction Online, The Lascaux Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, and others. His novel Jack Be Quick (Owl Hollow Press, 2017) follows a troubled paramedic as he unwittingly tangles with a killer infatuated by Jack the Ripper.

Benjamin holds an MFA in writing from Albertus Magnus College.
