MILK-BLOOD: Second Edition

  MILK-BLOOD is 8 years old this week!

The grandparent of my Addiction Horror run, the mythos of Lilly from Brentwood Street sparked a universe that I've returned to half a dozen times

I've done some tweaks, nips, and tucks. Created a new cover that goes with its sequel, All Smoke Rises, and BOOM—a second edition. It's now on sale through 6/28/22. Kindle is just .99 Cents and paperback just $9.99. And for the first time ever, Hardcover is also available.

ORPHANS OF BLISS: TALES OF ADDICTION HORROR

is now available

Five years and two weeks after Garden of Fiends was first published, Orphans of Bliss, the third addiction horror anthology, goes live in paperback and digital today. Yay! I've met so many wonderful people along the way who contributed and supported these projects. My thanks and gratitude to all y'all. I dedicate these to my brother Kevin, passed before his time, but who introduced me to the wonders and power of Horror to capture our imagination and tell our stories.

In order of the Orphans of Bliss table of contents

Celebrate St Patrick's Day early with this incredibly gifted horror writer who has the lead story in all three addiction horror anthologies:

KEALAN PATRICK BURKE

If you've not read his unique, powerful voice that has put him on the New York Times Best Selling list, then run, don't walk and read Blacktop Wasteland or Razorblade Tears from

S. A. COSBY

Their prose is beautiful and certainly shines with an amazing tone of darkness in Nothing But Blackened Teeth, which has been nominated for a Bram Stoker Award!

  CASSANDRA KHAW

He's been the backbone for the Addiction Horror anthologies and a master of the short.  Dark Stars, his anthology with TorNightFire, goes on sale soon, so Preorder now. Check out  JOHN FD TAFF

Her debut fiction collection won the Indie Horror Book Award for Best Debut Collection, and her story in Orphans of Bliss is simply one of the best stories of the series. Check out: CHRISTA CARMEN

Author of Coyote Songs, Gabino was nominated for a Bram Stoker award for his work in Lullabies for Suffering. In Orphans of Blliss, he's created a dystopian world where a drug called Gravedust impacts the most disenfranchised. Check out:

GABINO IGLESIAS

Splatterpunk Award-winning author of the novel True Crime which took readers by storm, and a magnificent new release, WAIF. Check out works by:

 SAMANTHA KOLESNIK

New York Times Best Selling writer of Bird Box, Malorie and Goblin. His story in Orphans of Bliss is a King Midas type tale for those who can never seem to drink enough. 

 JOSH MALERMAN

Author of the legendary novel, The Cipher. Koja's short, mystical, piece in Orphans of Bliss captures the obsessive nature of addiction in her trademark style. 

 KATHE KOJA
