I’m thrilled my short story titled “Red Lanterns” is featured on the Creepy Podcast 31 Days of Horror special.
“Red Lanterns” retells as a conversation between an aging horror writer and his new therapist the terrifying account of the writer’s supernatural encounter as a 12-year-old boy growing up in a small farm town in eastern Colorado. Still haunted 50 years after the experience, the writer questions whether he imagines what he still sees, he’s become mentally unstable or he’s trapped near the entrance to a shadowy land that can’t be detected or quantified by science. My story was inspired in part by an 1878 train wreck on Kiowa Creek.
