Oscar Wilde's foreshadowing of the 21st-century celeb? Lord Henry to Dorian Gray: "'I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music.'"

In the middle of all this we're still reading books, which is more than okay. We need books now more than ever. #BookSky

Happy paperback release day! Virulent is now in print.

"Mesmerizing, dread-inducing, and shocking, David Massengill’s queer covid horror novella splits open the myth of safety and unleashes the terror of transformation."

Always grateful for reviews!

"A taut, adrenaline-fueled novella that thwarts us back to the...early days of COVID. Laden with paranoia, misinformation, and justified isolation, the story feels once again relevant to the current moment."
