Anthologies 2021

I sold a few stories in the past several months and they’ve all come to fruition at about the same time. A rundown:

Giving The Devil His Due is an anthology run by The Pixel Project and edited by Rebecca Brewer. The theme is “The Twilight Zone meets Promising Young Woman” with all the weirdness and comeuppance that implies. It’s their first charity anthology under their Read For Pixels program and was published in partnership with Running Wild Press on September 1st, 2021. 100% of the net proceeds from the sales of the anthology will go towards supporting The Pixel Project’s anti-violence against women programs, campaigns, and resources. There are raffles and other prizes or if you want a signed bookplate, there’s that too.

I’m proud to have my story, “Devil’s Hollow,” included with fifteen stellar authors for this great cause.

“

GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUE burrows deep into the heart and inflames the spirit. A rallying cry against violence done to women and girls."

–Tori Eldridge, Amazon bestselling author of The Ninja Betrayed

“The Bad Book,” edited by John F.D. Taff , published by Bleeding Edge Books, and with story illustrations by Giuseppe Balestra, is a collection based on an inversion of parables from the Bible. I chose the Parable Of The Talents for “Tooth and Axe,” a post-apocalyptic tale of a boy, his mother’s teeth, and what it means to grow up in their mean world.

“Fright Train” edited by the Switch House Gang is train-themed horror. I love how broad the prompt was for this one and the book is full of stories that take place over the more than hundred years of trains in the world. My story, “Lust For Life” is featured alongside twelve other authors and two classic stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens.

“

I was both pleasantly surprised by not only the uniqueness of every story but also the quality of every story. There wasn't a single story that disappointed, and each was so good, it compelled me to read the next without hesitation." –Reed Alexander, Nightmare Feed

“Wicked Creatures” is the eighth Wicked anthology from the New England Horror Writers organization. If it’s not clear, this one is creature themed and teeming with monsters—one of my favorite subjects. My story, “Burning Bright” features a tiger interacting with a photojournalist in a middle-eastern war zone.
