Halloween Horror Story: “Wendigo” by M.G. Herron

M.G. Herron · Oct 31, 2019 · 2 Comments

After years of digging, anthropology student Blake Meier is about to strike pay dirt.

If all goes well, an interview with the Navajo chief will complete his doctoral thesis. It may also lead to the discovery of a lifetime.

But his advisor, Dr. Samarjit Chambers, has his own agenda. And unbeknownst to either of them, hidden horrors lurk in the ancient petroglyph they both lust after.

To what lengths will Blake go to satisfy his own desires?

“Wendigo,” by bestselling author M.G. Herron, is free on this website for one week only. The story’s also available as an ebook or paperback through Amazon.

Reading: Half a King

M.G. Herron · Oct 26, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Why on Earth did it take me so long to crack open a Joe Abercrombie novel? I burned through Half a King in two days, reeling and obsessed. A “fast-paced tale of betrayal and revenge,” as George R.R. Martin puts it on the cover, this fantasy novel is swift, dark, subtle, cunning, and brutal. Half a […]

Steady As You Go

M.G. Herron · Jan 25, 2017 · Leave a Comment

I completed the second draft of Tales of the Republic on Sunday—a full week past the crazy insane Jan 15 deadline I set. So it took longer than expected, but I got it done. And I would have blogged about it sooner, but writing and freelance work and life (and trying not to mold my ass too firmly […]

Christmas Eve Writing Update

M.G. Herron · Dec 24, 2016 · 1 Comment

Whew, a lot of good stuff has happened since I last gave you a writing update. First of all, “End of the World” has done all right for it being the first piece of fiction I’ve published in several months. I had zero expectations, so I can’t be disappointed. I’m simply happy it was well-received by those who have […]

Book Recommendation: THE SLOW REGARD OF SILENT THINGS

M.G. Herron · May 10, 2016 · Leave a Comment

It’s a haunted, odd little story about one of the minor characters in Rothfuss’ KINGKILLER CHRONICLE series. The protagonist’s name in this book is Auri, and she lives in the “Underthing.”
