Headcanon Magazine has picked up “Hoofbeats on Ice,” and Altered Reality Magazine has picked up “The Master.” I’m grateful to both editorial teams for giving these stories a home.
Both stories draw on jinn folklore and blend literary fiction, psychological unease, and the supernatural. At their core, they explore the inescapable cycles that bind the human and supernatural worlds—patterns of obsession, memory, and guilt—and the darkness that can exist at the edges of the familiar, where the unknown becomes not only a source of dread, but a possibility of another reality.
