Can you hear that scratching?

Maybe you should check inside that old cabinet, handed down over generations on your mother’s side.

Then again, maybe you shouldn’t.

Assemble Artifacts #8 contains my new story, “The Christmas Cabinet,” which was recently released as an ebook and now is available as an audiobook on Audible. Listen to it now!

This Sumer 2026 issue of Assemble Artifacts Magazine includes diverse tales of comedy, action, and scifi, by authors Zichao Ye, Libby Cudmore, Tyler Clifton, JG Mack, and wrapping up with my new holiday horror about what hides inside a creepy piece of furniture and a strange family’s Christmas traditions.

When a babysitter gets stranded with a Hallmark-perfect family over the holidays, their cheerful traditions start to feel less like Christmas spirit and more like ritual. The daughter’s unsettling obsession with a locked cabinet opened only on Christmas causes a growing dread for what is unleashed on December 25.

On Audible now, in Assemble Artifacts #6:

Their marriage on the brink of collapse, David and Sara make one last effort to repair it with a weekend getaway at a cabin at Mount Storm Lake. Sounds like a good plan, right? But that light coming from the direction of the power plant across the lake makes them both uneasy. Oh—did I mention that this is where David’s father killed himself?
