Michael J. Stiehl has had a lifelong passion for fiction, in particular horror, comics, adventure and science fiction, and is thrilled to finally be writing some of his own. Michael lives in the Chicago suburbs with his wife, two kids and his very silly poodle Jack. When not writing fiction, Michael spends his time riding bikes, camping, reading books, obsessively listening to music and playing D&D with his friends. In short, he hasn’t changed a bit since junior high.

As I listen for breathing as my heart races, the curtains flap in a sudden breeze as my limbs become stone, and then pressure at the foot of my bed as a shadow encloses itself around me.(less)

Starting a Newsletter!

Pretty much what the title says. I'm starting a newsletter. I'm hoping it will be a fun new way to communicate with people.

I only have the bandwidth to put it out four times a year, but that's because in addition to information about me and what I'm up to it will also contain book reviews and a themed music playlist!

For the inaugural issue there will even be a give away! To find out what that is, Read more of this blog post »

Michael made a comment on Sarah’s review of Twist of Cain
Twist of Cain by Michael J. Stiehl
" Glad you liked it. Thanks for the wonderful review! "
Twist of Cain by Michael J. Stiehl
"A haunting mix of teenage grief, 80s metal vibes, and creeping occult dread. Twist of Cain delivers a slow, atmospheric unraveling of secrets tied to a mysterious mixtape, with strong character work and a lingering sense of unease"
