Do you like poetry? Me neither. Buy my poetry book. 🥰

I’ve been a little facetious about this book since it came out, but it’s two older OOP chapbooks that are some of my favorite poems I’ve written.

Sometimes a review for one of my books pops up, and I go, “Oh yeah, I write.” 🪦

I might have to take my publisher hat off for a few days and finish the story I started last month.

Just got interviewed about ONE OF US. When asked why I'm doing it, I compared myself to George Mallory, who said he climbed Everest "because it was there!" I jokingly said this was "because it wasn't."

This... is a lie. I responded by making a "uhhhhhhh" sound like Tina Belcher for 20 minutes.

TFW, you realize that your zine wasn't on your webpage for god-knows-how-long.

If you liked "I Preferred His Underground Stuff," you might enjoy this one... Or not, thems the breaks, it's a poetry chapbook. I'm not going to provide a money-back warranty. 🚬

Don't call me goth.

It's World Goth Day, and to celebrate, DM me I'll send you a free ePub of my book Participation Trophy.

@justinlutz.bsky.social and I will be at @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social, Saturday, April 19, 2025
1:00 PM—3:00 PM.

I'm not saying you HAVE to be there. What I'm saying is it would be unfortunate if something were to happen to you if you were to stay home. 🤷

Periodic reminder that I've written a couple things, and have a small collection of artwork. I have several events next month going into April and will need some gas money. Please buy these and other things on the Filthy Loot website. Which will be added below.

The next 1,000 people to order my book will get a book! In the mail! That you can read!

I've been told that's kind of how that works. 🤷‍♂️

Have I ever mentioned I wrote this book? Probably not. Please don’t read it.

Can anybody out there tell me if this is worth picking up?
