"Deep Down Inside" - new story available now.

I've got a brand-new short story titled "Deep Down Inside" published in the beautiful new anthology 13 Haunted Houses edited by Curtis M. Lawson and Joe Morey, available now.

"Deep Down Inside" is full-length 20 page affair, and I think it may be the best thing I've written in the last couple of years. It's the story of Adrian, a young bankrupt man left with no option but to move into his parent's renovated historic home after their death. But when strange things begin to happen in Forester House, he's not sure if the cause is supernatural, his guilty conscience, or something worse.

I'd love for you to check it out, along with the rest of the stories from this amazing lineup of authors.

Description: Haunted Houses have intrigued and terrified the human mind for millennia. From folk tales about remote cabins, to Victorian ghost stories, to Hollywood blockbusters, the iconic crumbling walls and creaking doors have maintained themselves as a staple of horror. Weird House Press has gathered 13 of the finest voices in modern horror to construct and breathe unlife into haunted houses of their own. In these pages you will find cliffside mansions brimming with death, lighthouses that serve as beacons of madness, and cursed architecture with a mind of its own. Explore abandoned homes with dark secrets and stand face to face with malevolent specters and demonic spirits.

New Horror Anthology — One of Us: A Tribute to Frank Michaels Errington

One of Us: A Tribute to Frank Michaels Errington



This book includes my previously unpublished story, "It Started with a Single Note". An elegiac piece, I believe this anthology is where it was always meant to be.

In 2019 the horror community lost Frank Michaels Errington and his absence has been thoroughly felt by all who were lucky enough to interact with him. Kind, gracious, inclusive and just an all-around nice man. Frank made a large impact as a book reviewer, but he also had a positive effect on many individual creators by making sure that everyone felt welcome and acknowledged.

One of Us: A Tribute to Frank Michaels Errington is filled with stories of writers whose lives Frank touched in one way or another. He challenged them, cheered them on and he made sure to read the big names and small names alike.

Frank needed a new kidney. He was undergoing dialysis treatments and hoping for a compatible donor, but, unfortunately, he was not able to get the help in time to save his life. Because of this, proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated in Frank's name to the American Transplant Foundation. Help us help others in Frank's situation before another vital person is lost to those who value them.

This book represents the camaraderie and love that Frank instilled in the horror community. If you ever feel alone or out of place, just remember the words that Frank himself told many creatives while he was still alive.

"You're one of us."
