CAN member Tamara Kaye Sellmans new horror antholgy “Cul de sac Stories” was published in July 2024. Shes been a writers workshop participant since the early 2000’s.
The neighborhoods of Cul de Sac Stories are not precisely the safe spaces you might expect. Instead, look for dark and quirky exurban tales that lean into postmodern experiences where fears are whispered between mothers and daughters, crones and maidens, neighbors both familiar and aloof.
“Maiden, mother, crone—the women in these stories are
filled with magic and wonder, vengeance and tenacity.
Keep an eye on Tamara Sellman—she knows how to cast a spell,
weaving a grand tapestry filled with mystery, love, horror, and hope.”
Tamara Kaye Sellman is author of the speculative collection, Cul de Sac Stories (2024: Aqueduct Press); the experimental novelette, Trust Fall (2024: MCR Media); the medical memoir in poems, Intention Tremor: A Hybrid Collection (2021: MoonPath Press); the horror collaboration, Rain Shadows (2025 release) with BENEATH THE RAIN SHADOW co-host Clay Vermulm for 2025; and producer of the poetry film, LOOK UP (2024: MCR Media). She lives in Kitsap County, WA.
