Once upon a time I used to say I don't write horror and I don't write short stories. Now both! My horror short story, Rules for Crossing the Woods at Night, based on the darker side of Irish folklore is in Of Dread, Decay and Doom! Out next week.

The theater was actually very busy that first night.
A friend wrote the screenplay, I was excited.
