FREEDOM OF SCREECH - EDITED BY CRAIG SPECTOR

Horror legend Craig Spector's new anthology Freedom of Screech released earlier this month, and contains my story Intercepting Aisle Nine. The tale could not have found a better home. It won me an Irish Short Story Of The Year nomination from Penguin Books / Sunday Business Post back in 2017, and this is the first time the story sees print. Now, if you're worried it gets political due to the anthology's title, don't be. I don't get political with my work. There's no agenda here. If anything, the story was inspired by Bill Hick's marketing joke. It's me riffing on the subject of invasion of privacy.

The anthology also includes absolute icons of the genre and newcomers alike. Here's a full list of authors: Chet Williamson, Elizabeth Massie, Matt Hayward, Jessica McHugh, Richard Christian Matheson, Jenny Orosel, Jack Ketchum, Georgia R. Buns, Tom Monteleone, Patricia Lee MacComber, David Niall Wilson, Robert Guffey, Joseph Mulak, Michael Picco, and Norman Spinrad.

I've always dreamed of having my name in print alongside Jack Ketchum, and though it may be posthumously, it's still an honor. A big thank you to Spector for having me onboard. You can grab the anthology in paperback or as an eBook from Crossroad Press right HERE.

Now, I have a few days before leaving for Scares That Care. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the road. Take care.
