New Short Horror: Penny Catch

Just Published by Literally Stories: New Short Horror

New Short Horror! My monster mash-up short story Penny Catch has just been published by the long-suffering editors of Literally Stories. Penny Catch tells of the meeting between two horrible monsters from the nightmares of children: Pennywise and the Child Catcher. For lack of a better genre term, the story is a satire on the horror oeuvre.

I’m telling you, Folks, this new Pandora’s box beggars description. The dawning age of AI is so bizarre, it makes writing sci-fi and dystopian fiction very, very tough. So, how will you know when a new story breaks? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On! Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:
