Welcome to A.S. After Dark
October is my season.
I'm A.S. I write horror, the supernatural, and the spooky. This is my corner of the dark: book news first, spooky stories and odds and ends after. No noise — when I write you, it's worth opening.
My novella Z-Strain is out now — a fast, brutal small-town zombie novella.
The outbreak started in a small town. In this town, the monsters know your name.
The world ended. We didn't.
And because Halloween is coming: Z-Strain is FREE on Kindle October 28 through November 1.
Subscribe and you'll get the reminder when the free run opens — plus first word on what crawls out of the desk drawer next.
