I had just returned from a camping trip where our tent was inundated with countless Daddy Long-legs taking shelter from the rain. Being a card-carrying arachnophobe, I was none too pleased, until I got back to the city and the news that…
…my latest flash fiction piece, Creepy Crawleys, (a spider-related tale), has been selected for an upcoming anthology entitled NORTHERN HAUNTS, 100 Terrifying New England Tales. I'd like to think that the spider infestation was a sign that my piece was selected. At least that's what I tell myself as I continue to have nightmares about their spindly little legs.
The anthology, which is being released by Shroud Publishing, is available for pre-order in both paperback & hardcover editions. Both versions are also on sale at the moment! I hope you'll support small press (and myself, your humble inkslinger) by picking up a copy – or two. Proceeds from the sale of NORTHERN HAUNTS will be donated to the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY.
Shroud Publishing also publishes Shroud Magazine, THRILLING TALES OF HORROR, MYSTERY, AND SUSPENSE. I invite you to check out this spectacular publication to discover new voices in dark fiction and art.
About Shroud Magazine:
Shroud Magazine publishes speculative fiction with a dark focus. In addition, Shroud features original art, film, music reviews, and articles that illuminate the thin veil between reality and fantasy.
I'll post another update when the release date is announced.
Thanks again for your support, and I look forward to sharing this story with you!

Mary’s eerie tales inspire in readers the urge to double-check the deepest, darkest closets, to peer anxiously under the creakiest of beds, and to always sleep with the lights on.
Huzzah!
Thanks Deej! Haha! I’m so stoked!
