The Grande Dame Still Lives Here

Published in "The Doors of Darkness" Anthology

​

Amy does not mind that the house is old, all she wants is a room she can afford. She is the ideal renter for Vera Rainey, the lady of the house who seems to only want companionship. However, Vera is not what she seems—she is forty-seven and ‘fit as a fiddle’, yet she lives her life as an aging Hollywood actress, playing out the role of one of her favorite movies. She insists on using a wheelchair and keeps nurses on staff all hours of the day. Her house is the mirror image of her misery, and together they trap Amy in a nightmare that she cannot escape.

Drawing from the Devil's Deck

Published in "Diabolic Magazine" issue 1

​

In rural Virginia, Jessie Livingston is being stalked by the Devil in his own backyard. Through transcripts, scribbled notes, and his own desperate words—he reveals every complicated emotion and obsessive thought that comes with having The Devil sitting at your kitchen table, inviting you to play a game of Blackjack. Every time Jessie loses, he spirals further into obsessive despair, until he reaches a breaking point where he will do anything to have the Devil’s eye on him again. His dreams of the devil are sordid and filthy, and they are consuming his every waking moment until the lines of reality are blurred, and he no longer understands what is real.
