My new poem THE GILDED KING is up on Horror × Hope: www.horrorxhope.com/the-gilded-k...
I’ve never considered myself a poetry-enjoyer, but then this just… fell out of me, and now I have to rethink everything. 🤔

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.

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...

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.

I wrote WHEN THE BLACK WIND BLOWS back in spring and put it out on submission. I targeted some *very* competitive calls, so I'm not surprised or upset it didn't get picked up. I'm just glad I can share it with you now.
