I’ve had several pleasant exchanges with representatives from Hippocampus Press over the past month or so, culminating in (among other processes) the completion of the galley proofs for my second collection, The Skeleton Melodies (due out mid 2019).  This volume includes twelve short stories and one, previously unpublished novella.  The table of contents follows:

• “Lisa’s Pieces”
• “The Undertow, and They That Dwell Therein”
• “Animalhouse”
• “Fingers Laced, as Though in Prayer”
• “By Goats Be Guided”
• “The Pecking Order”
• “Her Laugh”
• “Knot the Noose”
• “The Rive”
• “The Fall of Tomlinson Hall; or, The Ballad of the Butcher’s Cart”
• “Fiending Apophenia”
• “Details That Would Otherwise Be Lost to Shadow”
• Haunt Me Still
