DarkFuse Publications is now taking orders for my new novel, THE NARROWS, to be released as a 100-copy limited edition hardcover in March. Order your copy here!

NOTE: This novel will also be released in paperback and ebook in September from Samhain Publishing.

Synopsis:

The town of Stillwater has been dying--the long and painful death of a town ravaged by floods and haunted by the ghosts of all who had lived there. Yet this most recent flood has brought something with it--a creature that nests among the good folks of Stillwater...and feeds off them. The children who haven't disappeared whisper the same word--"vampire." But what has come to Stillwater is something much more horrific.

"[A] thoughtful, multilayered tale..."
--Rue Morgue

"Floating Staircase deserves to stand alongside a Stephen King or a Dean Koontz--at their best... [it is] a mature horror yarn, but, deep down, it is also an exploration of obsessions, and in particular the obsession it takes to be a writer."
--New York Journal of Books

"Eerie, unpredictable, and exciting....Malfi's lyrical prose and sensitive approach only heighten this tale's emotional impact, and the final turn of events is both surprising and expertly set up."
--Publishers Weekly

"A clever, emotionally resonant foray into horror."
--Booklist

"Floating Staircase is an outstanding achievement in the supernatural horror genre."
--Jordan Nortan, The Crow's Caw

Synopsis:

Following the success of his latest novel, Travis Glasgow and his wife Jodie buy their first house in the seemingly idyllic western Maryland town of Westlake. At first, everything is picture perfect--from the beautiful lake behind the house to the rebirth of the friendship between Travis and his brother, Adam, who lives nearby. Travis also begins to overcome the darkness of his childhood and the guilt he's harbored since his younger brother's death--a tragic drowning veiled in mystery that has plagued Travis since he was 13. Soon, though, the new house begins to lose its allure. Strange noises wake Travis at night, and his dreams are plagued by ghosts. Barely glimpsed shapes flit through the darkened hallways, but strangest of all is the bizarre set of wooden stairs that rises cryptically out of the lake behind the house. Travis becomes drawn to the structure, but the more he investigates, the more he uncovers the house's violent and tragic past, and the more he learns that some secrets cannot be buried forever.



In other news, I've got two novellas that were just released as ebooks, SKULLBELLY and BOREALIS. Both novellas are available in all ebook formats and on sale with all online retailers.

If all of that aint enough to quell your reading jones, let me recommend the anthology WHAT FEARS BECOME, edited by Jeani Rector, in either paperback or ebook. My story "Chupacabra" appears within its pages, but there are so many fantastic authors and stories included in this collection that you can't go wrong!
