I had the privilege of seeing this short film based on my story in a packed theater last night. Hopefully it won't be the last time I experience something like this but I'll be riding that high for at least a few days. The jokes were landing, people seemed really into it. I was blown away. So cool.

Joe’s writing will make you want to write your goddamn ass off
Even on the worst Tuesdays there are books waiting for you to read them
Hello, I write literary horror and surrealist trash. You can find links to all of my publications on my website, and a page devoted to free stories & audio online. I'd be immensely grateful if you'd buy my books or request them through your library to support my writing.
