Written in the style of Edgar Allen Poe, the short story “Malefic” was selected for inclusion in this anthology of eco-horror stories centered around the theme of the environment gone wild and bloodthirsty. Published by Chupa Cabra House Publishing, 2014.
From the Chupa Cabra House blurb:
“Growing Concerns is the very first collection of its kind. In pop-culture, movies like “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” are quite well-known, but
few tales in fiction have tapped into the latent fear of our botanical neighbors. With few plant-themed stories well-known enough to be found in English, Growing Concerns breaks new ground in the horror genre by collecting, for the first time ever, eighteen tales devoted to exploring the subject!
