“Clifford always thought the story itself mattered less than the way his father told it. Spoken with a slow, matter-of-fact sounding drawl, his father told how Zackary Wormely had lost large patches of crops three years in a row to animals and severe weather, until he took his wife and five children down to the pond near his home and drowned them all. Used a rock to weigh himself down and join them.”

New Stories for January/February 2013
I think when it comes to doing a post for new stories I’m going to try for once a month. Obviously some months are better than others, so I guess I’ll see if I always have enough new ones going up to warrant posting on.
As for this month, I’ve had quite a few stories going up. The only story up that can’t be read online is the story The Record Keeper published in Gore Magazine. As the title of the magazine would suggest it’s one of my more violent stories. You can find the issue through the link to buy at Amazon.com.
Going down the list, the first story, Kurt Was Here is up at Inner Sins in their January issue. Within the Light was recently published at Static Motion Online. Both of these stories are reprints. For completely new material, Steady Supply was published at SNM magazine and Nestled Within is viewable at The Carnage Conservatory.
All the stories have been put up in the bibliography section as well with links to the publications.
