Pinned
My debut collection, PEEL BACK THE SKIN is coming October 1st, 2025!

Featuring 13 stories of weird, body, cosmic, gory horror.

More details soon.

Cover by the incredible Trevor Henderson
Been so long since I've written that I have anxiety and dread about trying again. To me, that shows how deeply I value & respect the process, but damn, is it defeating.

The original runs had killer covers too but DAYUM these are incredible
Just a reminder: The tenth anniversary editions of the original Southern Reach trilogy are still out in the wild, selling well. NYT bestsellers and on a lot of best-of-decade or this century lists. With new intros by Karen Joy Fowler, NK Jemisin, and Helen MacDonald. Buy from you favorite indie.

Are any of the newish Resident Evil films/series/whatever worth watching? Craving that style.

Anyone else become creatively cynical over the past couple months? Can’t get to that suspension of disbelief state often anymore. Every idea seems contrived & stupid. Agh. Someone help me relight the flame.

Each time I think this divorce has brought me to my lowest, the ground gives away & I fall into a deeper level.

Twelve years later, this album still resonates deeply with me.

Sempiternal, indeed.

If you think it's more important to ostracize and terrorize trans kids than protecting kids from school shootings you're an asshole and I hope you get hit in the mouth with a lug wrench

As if the ceaseless deluge of terror in the news daily wasn’t bleak enough, I am absolutely DEVASTATED to report that my hair, is indeed, noticeably thinning 😭

My biggest fear (bald) has become prophecy 😭🤣
