Writer, mother. Ever unfixed. Shirley Jackson Award finalist, Aurealis and Ditmar Award winner.
This was so much fun. I could have kept talking with @mothfrenzy.bsky.social and @horrorbookshelf.bsky.social for hours.
Last night @mothfrenzy.bsky.social and I had a great time chatting with @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social about her latest work, THE REMEDY! This is a brilliant story that tackles some deep philosophical questions and has one of the best hooks in recent memory.

In her usual sumptuous prose, J.S. Breukelaar transports us to new realms with Remedy, a dark study of the duality of self in the aftermath of trauma…A new classic. —Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories. Thank you, divine Lee Murray. ❤️

Had a great chat with @marissavu.bsky.social over at @apexmag.bsky.social about my story, "Hole World" and lots of other goodness. Thank you!
Absolutely loved interviewing @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social about her recent Apex Mag publication "Hole World" (go read this - it's AMAZING). We talked about writing and teaching Weird horror, some underrated writers of Weird horror, and her own writing habits. apex-magazine.com/interviews-2...
Interview with Author J.S. Breukelaar - Apex Magazine
I guess I was just thinking about corporatization—and what a deadly joke it is and how full of holes the hype is, and yet we buy it, literally.
