All good road trips need a playlist. Here are some songs to make your own One-Shot inspired playlist. Happy book birthday to my weirdo, Indigenous, road trip horror novel. Check it out, and if you can't, at least give me the old share! Thanks to everyone.

🚨Thrilled to announce my folk horror story "The Coffin Tree" will appear in the Winter 2026 issue of Chthonic Matter Quarterly. Too early to have cover art yet, but just look at this gorgeous lineup of past issues.🚨

One weekend away. One bad choice.

The first Twisted Tale is almost here — a fast, brutal horror story for readers who grew up on flashlight frights.

Short enough to binge. Sharp enough to leave a mark.

Pre-order now: twistedtalesbooks.com/jack

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).

If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

You grew up. So did the horror. Goosebumps gave you your first chills. Twisted Tales brings them back — with monsters that hit harder than ever before.

Short reads. Sharp twists.
