I am pleased to announce that Gallows Press is now live and will be showcasing its writers in the anthology, The Gallows, which includes my short story, "Rotting Love".
Gallows Press will also be publishing my latest novel, Bleeding the Vein! More information to follow soon.
Bleeding the Vein entails the legend of the Aswang from the Philippines. With a wife and mother-in-law that grew up with the legend, I had the perfect opportunity to add my own twist to this fascinating tale.
A description:
Sometimes legends cross borders.
For Retired Navy Petty Officer First Class Eddie Townsend, falling in love with a beautiful Filipino stripper on his first tour of duty was a mistake he would always regret. He couldn’t resist her intoxicating temptations, even when she made him do ever-stranger things in exchange for passionate lovemaking, and soon peels back the thin veil masking her true identity.
Now a struggling alcoholic, Eddie lives a reclusive life in Shadow Creek, a small Maine fishing community. Local fishermen know to walk around his sprawled body in Town Square most mornings and use his predicament as a source of amusing conversation. When a putrid stench fills the air as the fog rolls in, memories of his time in the Philippines claw their way to the surface and threaten his complete demise.
Something is visiting the pregnant women and small children of Shadow Creek. When a little boy disappears, Eddie has a chance to end the source of his nightmares and salvage his redemption.
"Arsenault explodes back onto the horror scene with a fully realized, lyrical novel about lust, love and loss. A small Maine sea town becomes the focus of an epic battle with an evil entity that is both familiar and utterly original. The aswang will haunt your dreams. Well done!"
– Nate Kenyon, award-winning author of Sparrow Rock and Diablo: The Order
