YOU DON'T BELONG HERE

A COLLECTION OF HORROR & PARANORMAL SHORT STORIES

COMING 10/13/25

Well, it's been a while since I was published (2023) and quite a while since I published a work that was completely my own (2021) but I'm back.

This is a collection of short stories that might seem random and not really related, but they are related. It's the human condition that ties them together. There is an inherent theme of love, loss, struggles, doubts, and fears running throughout every story within this collection.

Why did I choose the title, You Don't Belong Here?

Because I believe there is at least a moment in everyone's life when they feel this way. Whether it involves family, friends, strangers, your significant other, work, school, etc., it's a theme that I think is familiar. I'll dive deeper into this in another post, but for now, the stories:

INVISIBLE- A girl who feels invisible finally faces her worst fear on her sixteenth birthday and hastily makes a dark deal.

MOONDANCE- An old man returns to the same place every year on the anniversary of his wife’s death, to have one last moonlit dance with her.

HYSTERIA- A woman’s health concerns are ignored, and it leads to global chaos.

YOU DON'T BELONG HERE- A young woman goes home to bury her father and sell his house, but finds that the home is no longer hers.

ROUND & ROUND- An old man with Alzheimer’s becomes increasingly lost in his own house, which seems to be doing its own forgetting.

NOT A GAME- Two young girls find a Ouija board, thinking they’re communicating with a deceased relative, but find something much more cunning.

THE CRYING WOODS- A woman, grieving the loss of her baby, takes a trip to a remote cabin in Tahoe. Her worried sister goes after her and isn’t prepared for what she finds.

NO CELL SERVICE- A woman’s drive through California’s winding roads leads her to a perilous and sinister discovery lurking in the woods.

SUNNY DAYS AHEAD- A woman takes a job as a nanny for two troublesome kids, only to find that the children aren’t the problem.

Thanks for reading, and look out for the release of this collection on 10/13/25
