Before October Wakes

Thirteen stories for the space between summer and autumn—where the days grow shorter, the shadows grow longer, and not everything that disappears is truly gone.

Before October Wakes is the fourth collection in my seasonal series of thirteen stories, written for readers who like their fiction atmospheric, a little strange, sometimes dark, and always touched by the things that linger.

These are stories about ordinary places where something isn't quite ordinary.

A road at night.
A house that remembers.
A familiar face that shouldn't be there.
A sound outside the window.

Thirteen stories. Thirteen ways to step just a little farther into the dark.
