New Story: ‘Intrusions’ in The Dark (Issue 80)

Kicking off 2022 with a BOO! đź‘»

My horror story ‘Intrusions’ appears in this month’s issue of The Dark, alongside new fiction by Jack Klausner, SĂ©an Padriac Birnie and Octavia Cade. You can read it here.

I haven’t posted on the ol’ blog in *some time* (thank you so much to any and all of you who have stuck around). If you’re keen to see what I’ve been up to, there’s an edited version on my Instagram, but one exciting thing is that I’ve been dabbling in ⚡️HORROR!⚡️

My first YA horror story ‘Euryhaline’ was published in Hometown Haunts: #LoveOzYA Tales (Wakefield Press, 2021), and since then I’ve been reading a lot and playing around with ideas.

‘Intrusions’ is my version of a haunted house story (my favourite kind of scary), and also my first stab at writing fiction for adults. It’s free to read over at The Dark, and I hope you enjoy!
