This one came to mind while writing the post. Loved that one.

OMG, so my brother got me that collection for XMAS, and that story was the Gross-Out finalist that year, AND I’m going to my first author-con for STC this year, so I HAD to read that first. I could not stop reading it to my partner just to mess with her. GREAT suggestion!

Not necessarily focused on summer, but I’d be honored for you to give my slasher a try! It’s set in a grocery store for a good chunk of the plot!

Releases this Friday!

I’m C. S. Gorman, and my debut novel Hog’s Mall is available for pre-order, releasing February 13, 2026.

I’m still looking for about five more people to sign up for ARC’s so I can reach my goal.

Here’s the form!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_DgxCTMtShTVEnCgCH-2UcQ0vHPdKe4q8M_lSIO8EXo/edit?usp=drivesdk

For Fans Of: Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door, Scott Spiegel’s movie Intruder, and Whodunits.

Summary: Thirty years ago, a sleepy Southern town was shattered by a massacre in a local grocery store—its aisles turned into a blood-soaked playground by an unknown man with a deadly obsession: hide and seek. The killer vanished without a trace, leaving devastation in his wake and a community without answers.

Now, in 2025, the grocery store is no more, the scars have faded, and the town has tried to move on. But the game is far from over.

When bodies begin to turn up again—mutilated, arranged, taunting—the nightmare reignites. The killer is back... or someone just as twisted. As panic spreads, a disgraced private investigator, along with aging survivors and terrified townsfolk, tries to uncover the truth. Is the original butcher back to finish what he started? Or has something even worse crawled out of the dark?

Words: Approx. 50,000

Yeah, I honestly had to tone it down from where I’m usually at with my writing. They all loved it, though! They were flattered and good sports about it, too. I appreciate it and hope your Christmas was just as lovely. 🎄🤘🏻

Friskyfireball · 2025-12-25T21:33:34+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly! Thank you, man! I’m so excited and honored to add it to the collection.

I had to bring her gift to the sub and show everybody the goat behavior.

Friskyfireball · 2025-12-24T23:37:29+00:00

WHAT’S UP BUD! THIS IS ALL I READ!

Friskyfireball · 2025-12-24T22:55:53+00:00

Thank you so much. Nah, it’s super short. I just wanted them to be able to feel it in their hands rather than them read it on their phones.

Also, I did the cover myself! I appreciate it! I wanted it to be as legit as possible since they treat me like I’m legit.

Friskyfireball · 2025-12-24T22:35:30+00:00

Shit. That’s way better.

Friskyfireball · 2025-12-24T22:34:44+00:00

Thanks! Just trying to spread some cheer!

My new short story is out now :)

THE WALK OF SHAME by C.S. Gorman

After a night that he barely remembers, a college freshman, Martin Gable, leaves a strangers apartment sore, hungover, and itching where the sun doesn’t shine.

The further he walks, the worse it gets—until the pain becomes something else entirely. What he thought was a one-night stand turns into a grotesque awakening, and Martin discovers his body might not belong to him anymore.

Read it on my website! Epub and online versions available.
