“Because You Would Not Stop at Death” out now in Midnight Echo 20

My latest story “Because You Would Not Stop at Death” is in the 20th anniversary issue of the Australasian Horror Writers Association magazine Midnight Echo! You can get your copy in all the usual places, especially here.

I loved writing this one. It’s one of the nastier pieces I’ve written recently featuring toxic sibling relationships, baseball bats, secrets and necromancy. It’s got a big, gross attitude and gave me space to dig into some big themes of complicity, cover ups and manipulation. I’m so proud to see it listed alongside work by some big Aussie names.

CWs for death, undeath, harm to animals (again!), graphic violence and emotional abuse.

I hope you love it. I hope it knocks you for six.
