Release day! All of the details on All Manner of Dark Things

allmannercoverfinalIt’s April 7th, and that means it is the official release of my horror collection All Manner of Dark Things: Collected Bits and Pieces. If you pre-ordered the e-book, it should already be heading to your Kindle. If you haven’t bought it, yet, here are the details.

Twenty-nine pieces containing a wide variety of horror: gory monsters, humor pieces, emotionally-brutal literary works, poetry, vampires, werewolves, cannibal hordes, ghosts, serial killers, and all manner of dark things.

Some of the pieces appeared in a variety of literary magazines and anthologies. Some are original to the anthology. They encompass a sampling of my entire writing career.

The e-book is a part of Kindle Select, which means that if you have Prime, you can borrow it from the lending library. If you have Kindle Unlimited, it is available for free in that program.

The e-book is priced at $2.99, but it is a part of the Kindle Matchbook program. That means that if you buy the print edition from Amazon, priced at $9.99, you can get the e-book for $0.99. You can have access to the book anywhere, at any time.

I am extremely proud of this book and the amount of work that went in to it.  Check it out. If you read it, review it on Amazon and Goodreads. I would really appreciate it.

To start the release off right, here’s the book trailer to get you in the mood.


Let’s do this! There will be more news soon. I have a couple of special things planned.

All Manner of Dark Things Available for Pre-Order and Release Details

allmannercoverfinalAll Manner of Dark Things is available for pre-order on Kindle, right now. It contains almost thirty pieces written over the entirety of my writing career. I like to think of it as my senior thesis as a short story writer. Over the last ten years, I’ve experimented with several forms of dark fiction. Horror is a diverse genre, and I had a ton of fun experimenting with its capabilities. I know that I am nowhere near the completion of my literary experimentation, but the collection is a nice summary of what I’ve done, so far. From poetry, to flash fiction, to short stories. It is all there, in several styles ranging from dark literary to straight up creature horror, from quiet psychological to gritty and brutal. I’ve tried it all, and I want to share it with all of you before I move my focus on to longer work. I will still write shorts, but there will be fewer of them. Go check out the collection, and let me know how you like it.

The official release date will be April 7th. The e-book will be available exclusively on Kindle for at least the first three months. I am taking part in Kindle Select, which means if you are a Prime member, the book will be available to borrow, if if you have Kindle Unlimited, you are golden there, as well. Don’t have a Kindle? Fear not. The print edition will be available through print-on-demand. I will post links as I get them.  As a special deal, I have also signed up for the Kindle Matchbook program, which means that people who by the print edition will get a discount on the e-book.

I am expecting to have much more news in the next few months, so stay tuned.

As always, thanks for reading.
