Congratulations to author David M. Salkin. His 16th book, Little Things Big, is now available. When a lab leak unleashes genetically engineered skin mites, survival becomes a nightmare. Global Tech believes it has solved world hunger. Using revolutionary genetic engineering, the powerful Big Ag corporation has created livestock the size of elephants—cattle, pigs, and sheep engineered to feed the planet and make billions in the process. To secure political support, Global Tech hosts an exclusive showcase at its rural Pennsylvania headquarters, inviting senators, congressmen, and investors to witness the future of agriculture. But not everyone believes Global Tech should control the food supply. When eco-terrorists attack the facility, their sabotage triggers a catastrophic accident inside the research labs. What they release isn’t just dangerous—it’s monstrous. From the earliest days of Global Tech’s experiments come the forgotten failures: genetically altered skin mites that grow, multiply, and swarm with horrifying speed. Within minutes, the party becomes a battlefield. Scientists, Secret Service agents, and trapped guests must fight their way through a nightmare of crawling fl Continue Reading

For the people on the rugged Irish island of Winding Gale, life has always been hard. Now in the wake of the second World War, the island is dying, the young taken away by death or the appeal of better lives elsewhere, leaving behind only a handful of adults.

But on the night the men of the island disappear while fishing in uncharted waters, the women of Winding Gale are forced into a conflict with something both new and unfathomably old.

A strange greenish mist rolls in, cutting the island off from the mainland. Spiral symbols appear in the sand, fashioned from dead fish and stones. Seductive voices lure people from their homes to walk into the sea. Ancient ships materialize in the fog. And specters of the past will rise to take their vengeance in blood.

Because this is Samhain, a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest, and there is something rising from the deep that will thrust the women of Winding Gale into a war against an unspeakable evil few of them may survive.

I can always count on Kealan Patrick Burke to pull me out of a reading slump. When I opened The Widows of Winding Gale, it lifted me out of Continue Reading

Hello all! I’ve been busy working on the release of my debut Young Adult Fantasy, A Trinity of Chosen: An Age of Avarath. This is meant to be the first book in a longer series, but can easily exist as a stand-alone. The idea behind the structure of the series is based on The Chronicles […]

The Blair Witch Project meets The Ritual, with a generous helping of The Menu, in Morsel, a delicious folk horror novella perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Cassandra Khaw, and Paul Tremblay.

Lou did what the children of parents with back-breaking, poor paying jobs are supposed to do; pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office job with coworkers who won’t stop talking about their multi-level marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment.

Determined to lift her ill mother out of poverty before it's too late, and in the spirit of climbing the corporate ladder, Lou accepts an assignment in the rural hills of Ohio. She quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sabotaged truck, a dog she’s determined to keep safe, and something stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods.

If she can’t escape the woods in time, she’ll come face to face with the fact that her job isn’t the only thing that wants to eat her alive.

Morsel is a chilling testament to the burden of generational poverty and the all-consuming nature of capitalism, where the monster and the monstrous, in the end, are not the same.
