Ben’s Books & Stories

My fiction tends to skew toward the dark or weird. Let’s just call it horror and be done with it. I’m often interested in the ways in which regular people react to strange or dangerous situations, and the emotional and physical ramifications of those encounters. I am an Active Member in the Horror Writers’ Association.
