Creepy Kids... Another Horror Short

"My dog died in the morning. I cried, but Mom cried more than me."
   
That's the beginning of my horror short "Jonesy," a tale of violence and danger told from the point of view of a very peculiar child.
 

 
I just found out that this story is now up on Uprising Review. Check it out (for free).
 
And if this story sounds familiar to you, it's an updated version of my very first published story, which was accepted by the late, great Niteblade Magazine many moons ago.
 
I had a blast revisiting and updating the story, and I'm really excited to share it with you guys!

Niteblade Magazine

I wrote another short story about a killer kid. I think it might be the scariest thing I’ve written. And this comes from a guy who wrote a sequel to Leprechaun in fourth grade. (For the record, that was the year Leprechaun: In Space came out, and I wanted to take him back to his roots. I believe I’ve revealed a lot about myself in the last two sentences.)

Niteblade Magazine is a supremely creepy little internet zine with a knack for choosing nasty little numbers for each issue. My story “Jonesy” is as nasty as it gets.

(And for anyone who wants to read my unsold screenplay to Leprechaun 5, sorry. I burned the only copy.)
