I have.

I blurbed his novelette Eyes in the Dust, and enjoyed the hell out of it.

I'll share my blurb below:

"A man must deal with the death of his wife, and is hired to justify a massive, perfectly round hole in the wilds of Siberia, ostensibly dug by a rare earth mineral mining operation. After a slow build, the story really starts to cook at the halfway point. Cosmicism, panspermia/panpsychism, secretive front corporations, Conrad imperialism, a menacing wilderness, a relentless pursuit of arcane technology, redacted geological studies, a collapsed cave system, and unnamed entities dwelling under the ground. This is prime cosmic horror real estate set in an enviable zip code, with a touch of the contemporary Weird adventure tale executed so well by Laird Barron, brought to life in outstanding fashion throughout Eyes in the Dust by Peak's patient hand. "The outside has become the inside," he writes. 'The great wheel will return man to the slime form which he emerged.' Indeed, but not yet. Humans are still writing stories like this, prolonging the true end just a tad. 'You're covered in dirt, you know,' he said. 'Like a worm.' A highly recommended novelette from a very intriguing and talented voice in dark fiction."
