Out of the strange murky depths of Limitless Publishing comes one fun little read, the latest (so, third) installment in their Creepiest Show on Earth series, Carnival of Strange Things.

If you have a penchant for tales of  the bloodsoaked big top, menacing midway, sinister sideshow variety, then this is the series―and book―for you! Featuring a longer-than-average short story of mine, "The Fate Machine," as well as  "All the World's a Show" by my writing partner, Stacey Longo, the dozen stories set on these pages  are sure to entertain.

And just to help you make up your mind, check out this  excerpt of  "The Fate Machine" I've decided to share with you because:

  1. I love you all, and

  2. Let's face it, I'd really like you to buy the book.

Mystery and Horror, LLC, has released the sixth in their series of  weird, dark, humorous anthologies, and this time they took me along for the ride! 

The tales between these covers are aimed toward those of us who, let's face it, have the kind of sense of humor that gets us funny looks from time to time. Included in the mix  for six is my own little story, "Do I Fat?" Introducing the not-so-dynamic detective duo of Flowers and Carr, "Do I Fat?" is a sweet little mix of fairy tale, police procedural, and buddy comedy that ought to put a smile on your face―and that's just one of the stories included in the purchase price.

Coming out of Haverhill House Publishing this summer, edited by David Goudsward, touted as "tales of whimsy and mirth inspired by the life and works of John Greenleaf Whittier," and featuring my own contribution―the original short story, "Don't Quit"―all the proceeds from the sales of Wittier Than Thou will go to benefit the upkeep and operation of the Whittier Birthplace museum and the surrounding 69 acres of farmland in Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Other contributing authors include the redoubtable David Bernard, the notable Gregory L. Norris, and the improbable Jeff Strand.
