HWA Poetry Showcase
[image error]I’m excited to announce I’ve got a poem in the upcoming Poetry Showcase being put together by the Horror Writers Association.
My vampire poem “Transubstantiation” was written a very long time ago, when I was trying my hand at writing song lyrics. (It’s so much harder than it looks!) It was recorded by Trance and released on the album The Beaten Track in 1989. You can check that whole a

| The perfect book to read in the middle of a pandemic. It moves quickly, the main character is snarky, and it's so short it doesn't overstay its welcome. I loved the first Murderbot book and missed the middle ones because my local bookstore didn't hav ...more | |

| Fascinating and thorough, Making Space for the Dead is the book I've been waiting to read. Focusing on the closure of the Cemetery of the Holy Innocents, the foundation of Pere Lachaise, and the opening of Paris Catacombs as a tourist attraction, Leg ...more | |

| Really, I'd give this book 4.5 stars. It starts slow, but the first time Cass Blake encounters the Raven in Red in Greyfriars Kirkyard (possibly the most haunted graveyard in the world), I got chills and had to put the book down for the night. This b ...more | |

| I adored Aegypt, which I read when it came out, before it was renamed The Solitudes. It was breathtaking, with its question of whether magic really ever existed in the world and might still exist in another world nearby if you could find the doorway. ...more | |
“Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. More than a simple desire to discover or know things, curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. Curiosity changes us. It is also a way to effect change, perhaps even on a global level.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
