House of Monstrous Women releases today.

It's a story of oppression, liberation, sacrifice, and hope that refuses to be extinguished.

I am beyond lucky to have written this story and even luckier to share it with all of you. From the bottom of my heart:

Thank you.
HMW made the @vulture.com list, and my heart is doing tiny bat flips. Appreciate the love! 🖤

Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—and it’s coming this fall.

Thank you, @premeemohamed.com, for the kind words!

A wonderful example of how to do modern Gothic horror. A great balance of creepy, visceral scenes and deeper themes. And I learned about Filipino history too!
