Hi friends! I’ve been a bit MIA, but I’m hoping to return full force. And what better way to do it than by sharing this very cool anthology? I’m delighted to share that my story “Alice’s Adventures in Monsterland” has been accepted to the Enter Boogeyman anthology edited by Bram Stoker Award-winner (and all around nice guy) Alessandro Manzetti. Alessandro … Read More
Stephen King's CAT
I made a meme based on Stephen King’s IT, which is one of my favorite books of all time. This was Marsh being a goofball.
So, Um. This Happened. Thank You!
On Saturday night, I was blown away when I was awarded the beautiful Bram Stoker Award for my story Little Dead Red. Little Dead Red is probably the darkest thing I’ve written. It’s a tale about little girls, their dead-inside mothers, and the Wolves of the world. It’s a tale of love and justice. It’s a difficult read because it isn’t … Read More
An Amazing Acceptance!

You may read on to your hearts … Read More
Plagiarism Ticks Us Right Off. Obviously.
Wow. This hit and it hit HARD. By now most of you are familiar with the idea that a person going by the name Richard Ridyard submitted a plagiarized version of Stephen King’s “The Boogeyman” in to the magazine that I work for, Shock Totem. We immediately contacted Mr. King’s people and got the ball rolling. Then I found the … Read More
We Interrupt This Blog Post…
to give you a warning. A few days ago Shock Totem received a story called “Baboulas” by an author calling himself Richard Ridyard. John Boden, Assistant Editor of Shock Totem, read the story and immediately cried foul. “This is plagiarism,” he said. “This is Stephen King’s ‘The Boogeyman’ from his Night Shift collection. Even the title is the same!” ‘Baboulas’ … Read More
