Want to check out my Weird/dark eco-fantasy/horror novelette, the Final Sight?

It’s kind of like Princess Mononoke meets True Grit in a desert post apocalyptic landscape.

Fun stuff :)

It's an extremely weird and difficult time to be selling books, so I appreciate everyone who's preordered this one! It's a rad-as-fuck split collection, and I think folks are gonna love it.

No Trouble at All paperback | Cursed Morsels Press

Politeness is the glue that holds society together. We are all expected to do our part—a pressure ripe with horror. Rotten, even. Whether we adhere to this contract or defy it, there are consequences....

Hey you--watch some trash. I don't mean corporate by the numbers slop, I mean some honest-to-goodness, lowbrow, shoestring budget trash. Like arthouse cinema, it's good for you.

Today is a great day to reread EARTHDIVERS by @sgj.bsky.social, starting with Vol 1: KILL COLUMBUS.

A comic book cover featuring three European ships on a blood red sea facing the reader, with a massive Native American face hovering in the sky behind them, the bottom half of his face a skull jaw in the water below. EARTHDIVERS KILL COLUMBUS written across the top.

There's a huge difference between being real about what we're up against and succumbing to doomerism. One inspires strategic action and the other encourages preemptive surrender. I feel sympathetic to doomers--it's easy to fall into that--but also, snap the fuck out of it and plug in where you can.
