Jay has such a compelling narrative voice and his passion is so clear in everything he writes!! I’m still working my way through the manuscript bc I’m a slow reader </3 but already it is such a strong work of horror, cannot recommend him and Blessed Be The Flesh enough!

I loved GOOD BOY. Genuinely rock-solid indie haunted house movie that is hugely elevated by making the main character a dog. Simple, but endlessly smart choices across the board. So harrowing, because it's a dog dealing with this supernatural bullshit.

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

SUMMER SONS x CAMP DAMASCUS
A gay trucker and an amnesiac hobo walk into a bar. It's no joke, but the first gust in a hurricane of angels and monsters whose punchline is the destruction of our world. Something is stirring under the desert, and it wants blood.
