New Short Story Out in "The Chamber Magazine"!

Hi all,

Just want to let you know that my new horror short story, "My Heirloom, You'll Be" is out in the November issue of The Chamber Magazine. It's a mix between a certain classic slasher movie (once you read it, you'll see it) a bit of Indonesian folklore and a scary dose of Freudian nightmare. Read it for free here!
