I'm a writer of horror and fantasy, an amateur pop-culture scholar, a professional educator, a semi-professional HEMA instructor, an aspiring ally, and a man with ADHD, depression, too many hobbies.

1. Scariness is one of the least important qualities by which to measure a horror novel. Reading is almost never scary, but horror has more to offer than that.

2. There are probably more deconstructions of the "Final Girl" trope than there ever were unironic Final Girls. We can relax a bit.

I got two requests!

Sent one submission this morning, the other one I decided wasn't a fit.

Overall, I'm pretty thrilled to get any attention at all for a novelette. It's such an awkward length to get published.
