Check it out: a reading from my new novella, TROG. Meet Aisha, our protagonist, right at the moment the bad guys show up!

In the interests of giving people a teaser about my new novella, one that starts out as a home invasion story like The Strangers and that becomes a creature feature like Abominable, I've recorded a live-at-home reading.

Come meet Aisha, the teen protagonist in my latest!

TROG is out today from @zacharyashford.bsky.social - I read it a while back and it still lingers in my mind…if a creature feature is on the cards for your reading, make sure you dive into this bloody, thrilling, propulsive read!
TROG is now free to disrupt a home invasion near you! It's a tightly paced book about an escaped cryptid amping up the terror in the knife's-edge atmosphere of a home invasion, and the young girl fighting to survive the night. Think ABOMINABLE X BECKY.

Huge thanks @eddiegenerous.bsky.social

Please forgive my continued promotional push in the lead-up to release day for this one.
Early reviewers are loving this Home Invasion tale with a cryptid twist. Think Becky X Abominable!
Out through Unnerving this March.
Pre-order in all the usual places.

Not gonna lie, I'm mindful of oversharing and spamming, but this blurb from @aarondries.bsky.social (which is cut from a way longer, way cooler one) made my day when it came through. Of course, I had to bastardize it and make it fit this promotional image.
