Only Bruises Are Permanent

My short story “Only Bruises Are Permanent” appeared in the anthology Miscreations: Gods, Monstrosities & Other Horrors, published February 2020.

I’m extremely pleased the piece was accepted by editors Doug Murano and Michael Bailey, because it meant I joined the likes of Victor LaValle, Josh Malerman, Theodora Goss, Ramsey Campbell, Linda Addison, and many other writers I love. When talking about the book, I’ve even been joking that I’m the only writer I’ve never heard of!

One of the first reviews for Miscreations said “this story stuck around in my mind long after I read it” — and I hope you end up feeling the same way.
