Ten-Minute Slasher
I guess this has been live at Nightfire for a day or two or three already, but I’m just now listening. Supercool. This is one that works best out-loud, just like this:
Russian Drama
Hey, looks like I’m not the first to use “Night of the Mannequins” as a title. Really dig the song, the story:
Midnight Caller
Got a cool audio thing with Nightfire’s audio anthology, out momentarily: My story’s, of course, slasherific:

Coming Soon . . .
Feel like I’m always talking about what I’ve seen and read, but never about what I WANT to see and read. So, this is that, though I’ve been so lost in World Fantasy reading and a not-announced (I don’t think) reading thing that most of what I want to read is already out (except John
