One time punk-rock skateboarder and heavy metal kid of the 80s, Jay approaches his work with the same indie attitude as those early punk bands.
My newest release is called Cadaverous. It’s best described as “heavy metal demonic mayhem.”
When the sun went dark, it was only just the beginning…
Gaige Penrod yearns for the light of musical greatness. A self-taught metal guitarist with a dream of being the greatest, he finds himself drawn to a concert celebrating an eclipse, where he is overcome by an otherworldly presence that changes him forever.
As Gaige searches for answers, he becomes obsessed with the idea of fulfilling his musical destiny, and he sets out to reunite his band on his quest for glory. But in his pursuit of fame, he makes a deal with a shadowy figure, and unleashes a sinister force that threatens to consume him and everyone around him.
Cadaverous is a chilling tale of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the horrors that leave us questioning the true cost of our own desires.

From BOH reader Heather L.
• Chili – beans or no beans? Beans. Is it even chili without the beans?

• You need to hide a body - who do you call to help you? My wife.
• Favorite song to belt out in the shower? NO ONE wants to hear me sing.

From BOH reader Derek T.
• Is there a particular author that inspired you to write horror? Stephen King.
• Are there any things required when you write?, i.e., listening to certain music? an adult beverage? complete silence? stuff like that. Normally I need complete silence or music, but it has to be instrumental so it’s often classical music.
