For those of you who don’t already know who I am and what I do:

I write oubliettes weird and ghostly stories, but it’s never been my primary intention to scare anyone. Above all, I want the stories I write to be fun, and what’s fun for me happens to be curses and monsters. Several people have called what I write “weird adventure,” and I like the ring of that.

This site is full of information about me and my writing (mostly the latter). I also keep a regular journal here, and I’m on Facebook and Goodreads.

There’s a micro-interview with me up over at Innsmouth Free Press, in which I talk about Lovecraft, ghouls, and giant albino penguins, among other things. While you’re there, you can also check out the second installment of my ongoing column on international horror cinema.

But the big news of the moment is that my story The Worm that Gnaws won the unofficial Best of Pseudopod 2009 poll! Congratulations to all the nominees, and a big thank you to everyone who voted and to Ian Stuart, whose wonderful reading is at least twice as good as the story itself.

The first installment of my new international horror film column “From Strange and Distant Shores” is live at Innsmouth Free Press, with me talking about Park Chan-wook’s Thirst.

I’ll be doing two columns a month, covering horror cinema from all sorts of time periods and every corner of the globe.

Innsmouth Free Press has just posted their third fiction issue, which features my story “Nature vs Nurture.” You can click on over there to read it and the other stories in this issue, put I personally recommend downloading the very attractive PDF edition for best effect.
