It's alive! My second collection of short stories is live! I'm super stoked about this one, because not only does it have stories that have appeared in recent anthologies, it also has some stories that have never been released as well. That's right! You, dear reader, can experience these tales for the first time. This one also has some flash fiction and a rare poem (rare because I rarely write poetry). 

Inside this tome of horrors you can find the following tales:
"The Devouring Maw" which initially appeared in Hunger: A Collection of Utah Horror. It's about some folks down in southern Utah on the hunt for a lost arch. Well, they find it, but they also find something else. Something sinister.

"The Dark Place" which appeared in the anthology, Peaks of Madness: A Collection of Utah Horror. It's about a young girl who's on the run and takes refuge in a cabin in the woods. The cabin has a small door upstairs with a note that reads, do not open. Simple enough, but then something starts knocking from the other side of the door.

"The Temptation of the Moon to Shadow" is a poem I wrote that appeared in the HWA's Poetry Showcase Vol. 5. 

"The Demons We Bring" appeared in Old Scratch and Owl Hoots: A Collection of Utah Horror and if you're familiar with my short story, "Horishi Tom" then you'll recognize the main character. The events of this story take place before the events in "Horishi Tom". 

"The Cedar Box" is my fantasy western, think gunslinging elves trying to survive in a hellwaste. An old elf carries a precious cedar box with him as he searches for someone. 

"Mr. Abernathy’s Music Box" appeared on this very website as a bonus and is about a peculiar passenger on a sea voyage and his mysterious music box. 

"The Horror of Sunshine Meadows" was a piece of flash fiction I wrote that appeared online. It's about someone who finds a young girl standing outside of a forest. Things are not always what they seem. 

"Final Moment" has never appeared in any anthology, so you're getting it now for the first time. It's about a woman who buys a horrifying painting at auction only to find she's bringing much more home with her.

"Kathy Loves Kittens" appeared on the Tales to Terrify podcast. It's about a man who survives a horrifying car wreck only to find that his daughter isn't only missing, but seeming has disappeared from existence. However, someone knows where she is.

This collection is full of suspenseful stories. If you like horror or dark fantasy, check it out!

Daniel Yocom, creator of the Guild Master Gaming blog did a really nice review of my collection of horror stories, Tales from the Storm: Vol 1. Check it out!

I just put together my first collection of horror stories! I'm pretty excited about this because it revives a lot of stories that have been previously published under various presses. I give a little insight as to what was going on at the time it was picked up, or what inspired each tale. Another cool thing, was this was my first time creating my own cover art. It was quite the learning experience for me, but it was definitely fun. Check it out!

The storm rages on, leaving death and destruction in its path. With the chaos comes strange tidings and wicked ordeals. 

From C.R. Langille, author of the Dark Tyrant Series comes a collection of weird and horrifying stories spanning all across history: the Spanish Conquest; the Old West; present day; and even a desolate, apocalyptic future.

Haunted hotel rooms, mysterious, mind-bending spots, infernal cargo, and misplaced wishes abound in this collection. 

My newest short story, "All Aboard" is available now on Amazon Kindle. It's the second installment in the Tales from the Storm series. The story originally debuted in Horror the Odd and Bizarre published by Sirens Call.

"All Aboard" takes place in a sleepy Utah town where the residents wake one day to find a set of railroad tracks have appeared out of nowhere. Some townsfolk mysteriously begin to disappear while others find themselves unable to leave the town at all. To make matters worse, those left behind start to receive tickets to a train that is scheduled to depart soon. 

​You can get your copy of "All Aboard" here.

I've decided to try something new. Instead of creating an anthology of my past short stories, I want to release them via Amazon Kindle as singles for a low price. I'll be subtitling all of them as Tales from the Storm because many of them tie into my world that I created for my Dark Tyrant series. Here's the first one, "Horishi Tom" which first appeared in Fictionvale magazine. 

The story is set in the Utah Territories in the late 1800's and follows Jeremiah Redford, a man whose family was brutally murdered. Vengeance didn't fill the void of his dead family, so he journeys through the wilds searching for a way to bring his family back from the dead. His quest brings him to the abandoned mining town of Angus, Utah where he finds more than he bargained for.

"Horishi Tom" is a classic tale of loss and being careful what you wish for...you might just find it.

Buy it here on Amazon for only .99 cents.

Stay tuned for more Tales from the Storm coming soon.
