I haven't been here in a while. While I've been keeping the site up to date and tweeting the occasional thought, this blog has been desolate since the end of January. The Movie Monday posts have all but gone to hell, but they shall return. And speaking of hell, or at least, God and death and other things roundaboutly relating to it, I have some short-story news.
Devilfish Review
My microfiction piece, The Banshee of the McCraes, has been published in Devilfish Review, Issue 13. As you might have guessed from the title, it draws from folklore and deals with death. It's too short to post any sort of excerpt from it here, but the upside is it can probably be read in under a minute. So if you have a minute...
In addition, my short story, The Visitors, was published at Zetetic: A Record of Unusual Inquiry today. Zetetic is a new publication from Empire & Great Jones (the people who brought you Spark: A Creative Anthology), and has had some fantastic writing so far in its inaugural month, so I'm thrilled to be a part of it, and am in superb company. The Visitors explores the subject of doubt and faith through the character of Saint Joseph, and to a lesser extent, Saint Mary.

An excerpt:
When he looked at the child, he saw nothing irregular. A shut eyed, pink little thing, just like the rest of them. His doubts fed off this ordinary appearance; he would study the child while the mother slept, desperately looking for a sign, a deformity, a peculiar expression of the mouth. But there was nothing to set him apart, nothing out of this world. He could belong to anyone.
I'm planning to write a couple of longer, in-depth posts about Devilfish Review, Issue 13 and the inaugural month of Zetetic. So stay tuned, if the subject is dear to your heart.
Finally, my flash fiction story, Bill and I Went Hunting Today (originally published in Goldfish Grimm, Issue 22) will be produced in audio format on The Overcast, a new speculative fiction podcast by The People's Ink. There's another something to look forward to.
