Grim and Grisly Shades of Red


GRIM AND GRISLY SHADES OF RED is a collection of my personal favorite horror and suspense short stories I’ve written in the past eight years. It contains previously published works from ezines, print publications, and my out-of-print first book, "The Man of Shadows."

I have no intention of releasing it in print, so the only way to get your hands on it is through your Kindle device.
