Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming novel, SARAFINA, coming from CLASH Books in April 2026.

This is a paperback original with a cover by Joel Amat Guell and an introduction by Nick Cutter.

SARAFINA is a Civil War-era horror novel, and might just be the scariest thing I’ve published to date.

I love this book so much! This book is as good as the cover and the simple epic tagline is the cherry on top. Is up on Netgalley!

It should just read: The Horror Zine does not accept any material.

Between Depeche Mode and George Michael, poor Faith probably doesn't like to go out in public much.

A personal Jesus is all well and good, but did anyone ever think to ask Faith whether she wanted to be touched or not? Consent matters.

Speaking of which, here's an old LitReactor primer I wrote about his work:

I think Judas would be the most interesting apostle to talk to.

The world could really use a new Douglas Coupland novel right about now.
