Here's the thing. I can't tell you what to do, I'm not your dad.

But I would HIGHLY SUGGEST picking this book up. It is a heady mix of heart and horror that you have to experience to understand.

In the absolute best way possible, you're not ready for this one, folks.
We have a release date!
My Midwestern gothic short story collection, We Don't Hear Crickets Anymore, is coming out on November 14th

Check it out if you love psychological horror, campfire stories, and eerie tales that feel like a local small-town legend 🖤

Mariposa is settling in so well!
I've been asking around and got more information about her origins! According to the people down the street who have been feeding her, she's been garage-hopping since she was a lanky teenager kitten. I estimate her at ~10 months old 🦋🖤

She arrived on Dia de los muertos and now she's asleep on my lap
Her name is Mariposa! 🦋💀🌸
