Dates from Hell from Hellbound Books is now available on Amazon.

This one features my story “The Flood,” which I thought might never find a home. Now that it has, I’m satisfied and relieved.

It’s a longer story, really qualifying as a “novelette,” and it has a “new monster” that I can’t really define. Some readers and editors really dig that kind of ambiguity; others hate it. But this story is one of my favorites, one that I think has life potential beyond the page.

I adapted it into a teleplay, perfect for a horror anthology series, after it became a Quarterfinalist in Screencraft’s Cinematic Short Story contest 2020–2021. Currently, I am adapting it further into a feature length screenplay.

That life potential I saw early on is starting to stretch thin for the screenplay, but that’s where the writing really begins I suppose.

We will see what happens. But just seeing this thing come to life on screen would be magical. I’m looking at you producers, investors, studios, rich folk…Come on, it’ll be fun! Profitable? Well, sure, I think it will be…But it’ll definitely be fun.

What’s this story about? Well, it’s not about natural disasters or climate change or Bible stories. Or maybe it’s about all those things.

Just know there’s a party, a mansion, rich people, human sacrifices, lots of blood, lots and lots of water, and an incomprehensibly beautiful and terrifying being who just wants a little attention and respect…And flesh.

For now, you can’t see The Flood in theaters, and you can’t stream it. But you can read it. And it’s not THAT long.

Plus, that angelic, horrific being? It really, really wants your attention. And if it doesn’t get what it wants…Well, just keep an eye on your sink, your toilet, your tub, your pool, and especially any nearby bodies of water.

Or else the waters might rise…

And rise…

Its depths know no end.
