I also wrote a guest author’s post explaining the idea for the story.

“What the Storm Brings” and other unsettling tales are available in the latest issue of the excellent Lovecraft eZine (#34). This story was inspired by Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and the eerie anticipation-anxiety that descends on a town before a weather disaster. Let me know what you think in the comments!

From the publisher:

More than a dozen never-before-published short stories that combine Horror and Science Fiction elements. These original tales, written by some of the best new genre authors, range from the horrifying to the humorous, the thought-provoking to the thought-twisting. All are diabolically entertaining.

Featuring out-of-this-world tales of terror by Evan Purcell, Steve Billings, Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi, James Austin McCormick, Ben Pienaar, Vince Liberato, Ashley Norris Hurd, Daniel Hale, Catherine Edmunds, KC Grifant, Thomas Kleaton, Frank Collia, Lisamarie Lamb, and Paul Starkey.

“If you are looking for a wide variety of short science fiction stories with the flair of horror reminiscent of “The Twilight Zone” or “Outer Limits,” you need to look no further. WHAT HAS TWO HEADS, TEN EYES, AND TERRIFYING TABLE MANNERS? brings together a diverse assortment of works from some talented literary voices.” –Amazing Stories
