Nearly 200 of his short stories have appeared in various publications such as "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction", "Cemetery Dance", "Sword of Ice and Other Tales of Valdemar", and "The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror". Some of his most popular stories are mysteries that have appeared in the "Cat Crimes" anthology series. In 2007 his story "Rami Temporales" was adapted by Stranger Things into a short film entitled "One of Those Faces".
