It’s been almost five years since my last short story collection. About time for another one, right? Well, you’re in luck! Mad Days: Stories and Curses is out at the end of this month. Here’s a blurb:
A vanishing town. A cursed cemetery. A treasure hunt on Earth’s last day. Mad Days is a tour of the forgotten corners of Texas and Oklahoma, past and present. Featuring 16 short stories, 19 drabbles, and 3 novelettes, all illustrated by the author. In these places there are ghosts and monsters, all waiting for you.
That’s right, all illustrated by me. 50+ illustrations all in all. I busted my ass on this project and while it fell through with the original publisher, a good collection never stays dead.
I can’t wait for you to read this. Also, keep an eye out for more info on my 2026 release with Infested Publishing, it’s gonna be amazing!
