[Short Fiction] Fang Frequency | YA horror

There’s a vampire in the attic.

I’m thrilled to share that my short story Fang Frequency has just been published by Neon Origami — and it happened so quickly I’m still blinking in surprise (and mild panic that I didn’t even have time to overthink it).

This one sat on my desk for ages. It’s a story about late-night dread, glowing screens, and the kind of monsters that whisper through our phones. It’s horror, yes, but also a little slice of real life, about how easily cruelty seeps into the spaces we think are safe.

When I first wrote it, I wanted to explore what it feels like to be haunted in the modern sense: the way comments linger, the way your phone can feel alive, the way silence becomes a kind of surrender. So I gave that feeling fangs.

If you fancy a quick, dark read (five minutes, tops), you can find Fang Frequency over at Neon Origami, a brilliant mag that curates eerie, experimental fiction and publishes with lightning speed.

Thank you, as always, for reading and supporting my work. Every time a story finds its way into the world, it feels like another small victory against the shadows.
