Knock Knock

My supernatural horror novel Knock Knock is now available for Kindle:

With cover design and illustration by Russell Dickerson.

At the center of this novel-length fable are Ethel, Beverly, and Marietta, best friends stuck in the backwater of Skillute, Washington. Their neighbors and families are petty or poor or both; but when these townies warn the girls not to wander into Skillute's dense forest, they mean it. Something evil lurks there. The girls are not convinced. They wander into the woods, and their mistake unleashes a malignant spirit that terrorizes Skillute for the next fifty years.

Something evil has come home.

Red Poppies

If you own a Kindle and you like short fiction, you might be interested in my new collection of stories:

Red Poppies
3 Tales of Envy & Revenge
S. P. Miskowski

These are contemporary stories with female protagonists, set in a fictitious yet strangely familiar Pacific Northwest city.

"A Personal Recommendation" is a coveted career boost and a jest offered by a professor and then taken to heart by a student who will do anything to complete her education.

"All We Need From You" details the comic agony of a failed writer tempted by a chance at creative plagiarism.

"Red Poppies" are for a nasty kind of remembrance in the twisted tale of a house cleaner with no ambition, employed and befriended by an unhappy trophy wife.
