like windows..."
Released today, Issue 24 of Sanitarium Magazine
features my dark verse "Transitional Matter".
Aside from personal experiences, the piece was inspired by the following digital image from Polish artist Maciej Zielinski as well as Lucy Snyder's Bram Stoker Award Winning short story "Magdala Amygdala".
(Be sure to read that here in Nightmare Magazine if you haven't yet.)
Does artwork ever inspire any of you in your writing?

Many thanks to Editor Barry Skelhorn for putting together such a gorgeous publication and including my piece.
Barry was wonderful to work with, and is clearly dedicated to the craft--his team's tagline under Our Story reads "Horror and Dark Verse is in our blood"--and I don't doubt that for a minute.

He runs a Contributors Group on Facebook for anyone who has been published in the magazine, and appears to be very writer and artist oriented. It's quite simply just a beautiful publication, and I am looking forward to contributing more work to future issues.
