The story was inspired by a nursery rhyme and a really dumb play on words (Oracle at Delphi, get it? I said it was dumb!). But the story itself is about the lengths you go to protecting those you love, and how sometimes you miss what's right in front of you. So read it here, for free!
Horror Tree has been a really supportive place since Spec Fic for Newbies came out (check out our video interview with them over on Horror Tree's YouTube channel), and just recently they published my short story "The Oracle at Dairy".

Black Shuck Books has just released its newest anthology, Great British Horror 9: Something Peculiar, which includes my newest short story "Until the Wheel Spins Round Again." The story is about a woman who flips houses for a living, and her newest acquisition is, well, odd, and then the pandemic hits. At night, she hears a baby crying, and she finds curious items hidden behind walls. As you move forward in time with our house flipper, you discover the story of a girl who lived in the same house 400 years earlier, but her story is told backwards until their tales--and situations--overlap. In addition to my story, there are new stories from several other authors including the always fabulous Grady Hendrix, Michael Marshall Smith, Jonathan Oliver, Rosanne Rabinowitz, and others. Order through Black Shuck Books or at any book retailer. |
