Publishing News! (Accepted into an Anthology!)

Hello everyone, just a quick update: I’ve had my body horror short story, “Along the Xylophone Road”, accepted into an anthology from Black Hare Press.

I have updated my Fiction master page – see this site’s main menu and click “My Fiction” to view all my publications so far! Click on the covers of the books to go to their landing pages and find all their links in one place, including audio options.

Many thanks to all those who took a look at it for me and helped me polish it up! You’ll be able to read my sad decaying revenant story (1.2K words) from 31st October 2025. You can pre-order this anthology via the link below.

Cover of the anthology 'Occupying Bodies', featuring abstract artwork with red and black tones, depicting a human figure with head tilted back, lungs exposed, and other human anatomy and various body elements. Compiled by Bernardo Villela and edited by Dean Shawker. Published by Black Hare Press.

Step into a world where flesh betrays, bone revolts, and the boundaries of the human body dissolve in terrifying ways. This anthology drags you through skin-crawling tales of mutation, transformation, and grotesque obsession. Within these pages, writers dissect what it means to inhabit a body—revealing the fragility, the horror, and the dark beauty that lies beneath the surface.

From the monstrous to the strangely poignant, each story peels back a layer of the human condition, exposing nerves, sinew, and secrets best left buried. Dare to look closer—there’s something alive, and it’s waiting for you just under the skin.
