For Sale: A Haunting Collection
🕑 Added 2025-10-20 14:05:27 +0000 UTCHello Podsiders.
Given that I'm not getting a paycheck at the moment due to the the government shutdown happening in the US, I put together a collection of my short fiction to have some money coming in over in the interim. It's available to download in epub or PDF formats at Itch.io.
Inside are stories that have appeared in Strange Horizons, Uncanny, and khōréō magazine as well as a few new ones that haven't seen print before (see the Table of Contents listed below).
Thanks for reading; much appreciated if you pick up a copy or simply share the link above!
