Super Emergence – New Horror

Super Emergence – New Horror – Live at The Piker Press

Super Emergence – New Horror, just published by the fine folks at The Piker Press. Who doesn’t love some good, old-fashioned bug horror? That’s right, folks, here you go, maddening insects buzzing in your brains. My short horror story Super Emergence is live at The Piker Press. Super Emergence tells the tale of a plague of cicadas, a rural enclave gone insane, and one family in peril. The genre is psychological horror.

Finally Warm…

No, not outside, because Vienna is colder than frozen sauerbraten. Inside, though, the icicles have fallen from my extremities. You might recall we returned from Taiwan less than two weeks ago. The last of those seven days was spent shivering in a frozen apartment with no heat and no hot water. But, miracle before Christmas, the plucky installers arrived. Dog bless them, every one.

All during that bitter chill, I thought I was catching up on the stories, but these two broke free from the corral. I tell you, it’s a never-ending chore riding herd on the little scamps. How will you know when a new story canters away? 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:
