All right, I asked you all to read my drabbles and vote for them in the Best of SpeckLit 2nd Quarter 2014 competition, and you came through for me! My little 100-word horror story, “Numb,” (which, like all of my SpeckLit drabbles, can be read for free online) came in third place!

Thanks everyone. 🙂 Remember, four more of my drabbles are on their way to SpeckLit, and I’ll probably see if I have other 100-word stories in me.

I’ve also got another piece of exciting news on the way…

NaNoWriMo is taking up a lot of my writing time this month, but it’s going really well. There’s nothing better than when you start a new story and really enjoy writing it, and I’m having so much fun with this novel!

Since this is a short post, let’s move on to something else…

Share Your Feedback

I’ve changed the site around a lot since I started blogging, trying to make it the best it can be. For example, I thought polls were a great addition, but they never get very many votes.

So I’m opening it up to you–what would you like to see here on the site? What would you change? Surely you have opinions. Share them with me in the comments below!

“Celebrating All Things Spooky” Returns!

Oct 032014
 

Last year, I ran an October special called “Celebrating All Things Spooky,” in which I… did exactly what the title says, in honor of Halloween. I wrote reviews of the survival horror game Anna, the horror adventure game Scratches, the excellent movie Arsenic and Old Lace, and the animated movie Grinch Night.

Another October is upon us, so it’s time for another round of spookiness! I kicked it off a year ago with an overview of my own horror writing, and I’m pleased to say that list has grown.

If you haven’t already, take some time this month for The Book at Dernier, my Lovecraftian serial published by The Red Penny Papers. You can read it online for free!

A young scholar eager to make a name for himself travels to the strange town of Dernier, where he uncovers a secret that should have forever remained hidden.

Of all my published stories, The Book at Dernier is probably my favorite. It has Lovecraftian influences, a cult, possibly a little inspiration from Silent Hill… I distanced myself from Lovecraft’s style later on, because it had too great an effect on my writing. Now that I’ve learned and grown as a writer, I should really go back to it.

Flash fiction became another big thing for me over the past year. My four cold and twisted romance stories published at Loveme.eu are basically horror, and several of my Specklit drabbles tell a horror story in only 100 words.

Those are all the new stories, but don’t forget to check out my older ones!

Now, let’s look forward to a good, spooky month of October!
