Big news! My buddy Sean Eads and I have teamed up again for a very dark ride in our new novella, STOLEN PALLOR, hitting shelves July 16th from Blood Bound Books.

What’s it about?

When Cole Sharpe was a boy, he survived an art gallery fire that killed his father and other dignitaries during the unveiling of a mysterious work called Gone By Morning. In the aftermath, Cole became a detective specializing in bizarre mysteries with the help of a mischievous psychic named Mikey.

Cole's newest case exposes him to a dark force that is infecting the art galleries of New Florence, a city so devoted to art that even street buskers can produce paintings worthy of Michaelangelo. A force which causes random patrons to freeze in place for hours and then disappear into the night. As Cole investigates further, unrelenting nightmares threaten his sanity.

Meanwhile, in a bleak counterpart to New Florence called Midnight Village, whose citizens are just as devoted to their own macabre artistic expression, the dark master who created Gone By Morning is preparing his final masterpiece—and plans on making Cole its finishing touch.

"Fans of Clive Barker will relish this slow and steady descent into Hell."
— Andrew Hunt, Raven Banner Entertainment

"Stolen Pallor is a darkly profound novella that explores the dangerous power of art."
— Joseph Sale, author of The Claw of Craving
