Latest Published Short Story

 I've been keeping quiet about this, patiently awaiting all the edits and formatting, knowing its time was going to come. Now that it has, I can announce my short story publication in the latest print copy of the Horror Zine. Gaze upon yon kick-ass cover:

My story is titled, "The Helpful Dead" and it's the only one you should care about!

Kidding. This issue is chockful of talented writers and wonderful short stories.

The print edition is $14.99 and the Kindle edition is $5.99. I don't care which one you get as long as you read mine first.

As always, reviews are welcome and encouraged, even negative ones.

The Fall 2021 edition of the Horror Zine featuring my story "Package" is now available for ordering in both kindle and paperback!

And then slap me right across the mouth for writing "Deets."

That Time I Didn't Know I had a Story Republished.

In 2019, I submitted a story that was originally written for and rejected by a different anthology to Jeani Rector's print version of The Horror Zine. It was accepted and published in the Spring 2019 issue (pictured below).

However, while being a bad boy and Googling myself with the word "terrible" in a vain effort to locate some funny negative criticisms about my work, I instead ran across the following search result at the top of the screen:

Christopher Nadeau - The Horror Zine

The May Selected Writer is Christopher Nadeau ... more, informing him his behavior was outrageous, unprofessional, classless and, worst of all, pissing me off.

The way that reads, I thought somebody was talking about me! Excited to see what terrible thing somebody thought I had done, I instead happened upon an issue of the online version of the Horror Zine, which I'd always thought was a whole separate thing. Yet, there I was for the third time as featured writer without even knowing it. It turns out the verbiage was an excerpt from my own story.

CONFIRMATION RECEIVED

My short story, "Time of Expansion" will be appearing in the Horror Zine's physical magazine in the Spring 2019 issue. This marks a return to publisher/editor Jeani Rector's award-winning publication  for me as I have not had a story published there in at least five years.

More on this as it becomes available!
