His Type of Girl

Published April 5, 2012 in the anthology I’ll Never Go Away, by Rainstorm Press.  Edited by Lyle Perez-Tinics.

Currently available on Amazon in paperback & Kindle formats.

NOWHERE IS SAFE! Eyes watch you from all directions. They want you, they lust for you, they crave you, they … need you. Rainstorm Press presents I’ll Never Go Away tales of stalkers and those they pursue. Stalkers come in all forms from traditional voyeurs, to demons and spirits stalking humanity, to the voices in our head that make us believe something is there when there’s nothing. I’ll Never Go Away is the perfect read for those of us who believe real horror comes from humanity itself.
