BRING ON THE PAIN

Crystal Lake Publishing, one of the world’s top independents, has a superior ongoing series of horror short stories called STILL WATER BAY. The series tells of a coastal Georgia resort town with waters that have health benefits but also hide a dark secret; a Hellmouth which allows ungodly monstrosities to seep through into our world. The town’s good guy team, known as The Guild, fight for the regular citizens and their safety from these eldritch terrors, while the avaricious Robert Jackson works only to supplicate the Demons and offer sacrifices to them at his resort, in order to maintain his financial hold on the area. Guest authors are sometime invited to pitch an idea for an episode, joining creators Joe Mynhardt and Naching T. Kassa. My idea was pitched, written and accepted!

So without further ado, read my episode entitled “The Pain Merchant,” offered free this one time only at Crystal Lake here:

ASSAULT: A SALTY TALE

My harrowing tale of a young couple doomed to interact closely with the denizens of HP Lovecraft’s decrepit seaside town, Innsmouth, is getting ready to be published for the second time. Learn how I delved into my state’s Horror Demigod HP and hoped to capture his atmosphere in the story “Assault at Innsmouth.” Go to the Labyrinth Creators Journal at The Immortal Artist and enjoy the short, entertaining blog that lures in hundreds of big catches.
