NEW FICTION IN CRYSTAL LAKE PUBLISHING ANTHOLOGIES: FANTASTIC TALES OF TERROR AND TALES FROM THE LAKE, VOL 5

I'm excited to announce that I have two short stories newly out from Crystal Lake Publishing: "The Girl with the Death Mask" (a Frida Kahlo-inspired story) in Fantastic Tales of Terror and "The Monster Told Me To" (a purgatory meets Freud story) in Tales from the Lake, Vol 5. As an extra bonus, my poem "From the Mouths of Plague-mongers" is tucked side the latter, too!

Here are the announcements for both anthologies. I hope you'll consider picking them up.


Fantastic Tales of Terror:

Includes short stories by Christopher Golden, Richard Chizmar, Tim Waggoner, Neil Gaiman, Mercedes M. Yardley, Kevin J. Anderson, Jonathan Maberry, Michael Bailey, Elizabeth Massie, Bev Vincent, Stephanie M. Wytovich, Michael Paul Gonzalez, John Palisano, Lisa Morton, Jess Landry, Cullen Bunn, Vince Liaguno, Joe R. Lansdale, Bentley Little, David Wellington, Jessica Marie Baumgartner, Mort Castle, Paul Moore, and Jeff Strand. With an introduction by Tony Todd.

“More than fantastic, more than terror. These are tales of wonder and heart, stories of untapped mystery and unbridled imagination, fables of fiction with no bounds. Dream free with these amazing masters of the macabre and marvelous! Because these are truly Fantastic Tales of Terror!”—John Everson, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The House by The Cemetery

Tales from the Lake, Vol 5

The Legend Continues…

In the spirit of popular Dark Fiction and Horror anthologies such as Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories and Behold: Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders, and the best of Stephen King’s short fiction, comes Crystal Lake Publishing’s Tales from The Lake anthologies.

Where are the real horrors? Whether they be a family member returning from the dead, exploring the 
depths of depression or the deterioration of the mind, you’ll find them here.

This anthology contains twenty-two tales and three poems to elicit unexpected emotions, to bring you into the story. Welcome to my lake, where dreams really do come true… as nightmares!

“With any Tales from The Lake volume you're guaranteed a great product––quality stories, smooth editing, gorgeous production values. It's a series I'm proud to be part of, and it's heartening to see it going from strength to strength. Long may it continue!” – Tim Lebbon, author of Relics
