Welcome back to The Nightmare Library. Within these pages, the Nightmare Library unveils its latest acquisitions. These are not tales casually stumbled upon, but carefully curated dread, selected from the darkest corners of the human psyche and places far more unsettling. A man has a late-night encounter with a mysterious and terrifying mime. A man discovers breaking his rental’s mysterious house rules may cost more than his security deposit. In a town where every family must have two children, parents face an impossible choice when the “garbage collectors” come calling. In these stories and others, the walls of reality become porous, allowing nightmares to bleed into the waking world. Proceed with caution, for you may find yourself lost within the Library’s corridors!

My journey to becoming a writer began with a love of books, Goosebumps to start followed quickly by Stephen King and Dean Koontz. I later found and fell in love with Robert McCammon as well as works outside of the genre. I wrote stories about alien abductions and sentient scarecrows. I still have some of these stories and...wow. Awful! I never stopped writing but my life would only allow it to be a hobby until I was around thirty. I submitted my first story to a competition and was given an honorable mention. That gave me the confidence to submit elsewhere, including The NoSleep Podcast. My fist acceptance barely caused a ripple, but it lit a fire in me. I placed stories with homegrown anthologies, cobbled together my own collection, and eventually became a regular on the Podcast. I am writing this in 2022 in what has been my most gratifying writing year to date. I will share a TOC with New York Times Bestsellers this year, and also was privileged to release my first novella, Stargazers, into the world. This is just the beginning, I hope, because the fire is an inferno now. When I am not writing you can find me front row of a metal show, getting a tattoo, hanging with my wife and kids, wrestling with our dogs, and giving out crisp high fives. I also serve as a medical officer in the Air Force.
