I am pleased to announce my creature-feature, “RRR,” will appear in the Strange Aeon 2026 anthology edited by M Keaton. “RRR” is a neurodivergent own-voices, sci-fi/horror story with a narcoleptic MC. Here’s a description:
A narcoleptic runaway desperate for money agrees to be a test subject in a hypnosis experiment. But when the other participants fall ill and grow violent, she suspects the researchers of conducting a far more dangerous experiment while the test subjects are hypnotized.

Due to construction at my apartment complex, my mail had been delayed for a while. But today, I finally got my copy of the October issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly!
