Over the last 30 years or so, I’ve published numerous short stories—horror, scifi, and speculative—and written a whole lot more that have never seen the light of day. Starting now, I’m going to put up a free story every month, some formerly published, some not. After the month is over, that story will be taken down and another will take its place. Enjoy!
Here's a story from my Clarion days, back when I was trying to find myown voice and emulate the 1990s masters of horror like Stephen King,Clive Barker and John Shirley. I don't know how well I succeeded, but Istill think it's a nasty, gory take on revenge that would've made a neat'Tales from the Crypt' episode. Enjoy!
