THE LIGHTHOUSE + OLD WOUNDS

Callum Point, a queer transman moves to a dead-end fishing town only to find it full of semi-mad townsfolk, monstrous fish, and an ever-present fog that whispers to him.

DREDGE + BLOOD IN THE BAYOU

There's something wrong in the town of 'Perne'. On the horizon is an ever-present fog, and there's something deep in the water that calls to Callum.

Please help make this anthology a reality! I really loved the previous anthology (5 star review here: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/95e9...). Disabled and chronically ill authors need to be supported and their stories told and these anthologies play an important role in that.

I'm working on a T4T vampire/werewolf horromance.
Name TBA, but the basic gist is that the main character goes back to his hometown (a tourist-trap hiking town deep in the mountains of BC), and finds a bunch things have gone deeply wrong in his absence.

Ernest Warren is a 25-year-old queer transman, though he became a vampire at 20. He's got a lot of complicated feelings about going back home, but ultimately can't ignore the call of his coven.

This is an adult horror book with an experimental writing style inspired by Cormac McCarthy and House of Leaves. Stylistic choices are not errors, but intentional. Please check out sample chapters to make sure this book is suitable for you. For an updated list of CWs, consult my Goodreads review.
