ICYMI, I wrote about my fledgling social media strategy for Horror × Hope: what I've been doing, how it's going so far, and what's coming next. www.horrorxhope.com/building-a-s...

I'd love to hear from y'all about your own experiences, too! What's working, and what do you wish you could do more of?

Q: What's the scariest story you've read? What's the most hopeful? #booksky

PARABLE OF THE SOWER planted a deep dread I can't shake. It's terrifying how current events arc toward this future.

THE FIFTH SACRED THING showed me how an intentional community might survive that future, and even thrive.

This excerpt from my new horror story, WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW, brings us to the threshold of an explosion of violence both political and supernatural.

In the afterword of my recent political horror story WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW, I asked how long until the administration weaponizes its declaration of antifa as "violent extremists".

Turns out, they were already doing it: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The opening line of my new horror story, WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW, sets the stage for a political nightmare that feels all too close at hand.

New short fiction today, and it's not pulling any punches. In WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW, fascist vigilantes raid an antifa coven. It does not go how they expect.

It's most political horror to-date. Probably also my angriest.

ICYMI: WHEN THE BLACK WIND BLOWS is my latest, a wintry ghost story about cycles of abuse, unexpected consequences, and the longing for something more. I'm very proud of it.

A line I loved: "When it comes to things you care about, you don’t high-tail it. You stay and fight."
