I write things and make bad jokes. I like movies, music, books, and beer.

LET'S DO OUR BEST TO ENJOY IT — Bottlecap Press
BARDO — Thirty West Publishing House
LEARN TO SWIM — University of Hell Press

It’s been about a year and a half since Strings came out and I love hearing back from readers who connect with the anxieties in that book. Do you like reading things that make you anxious?

A milquetoast dad hunting for his son's murderer? I always envisioned Brendon Fraser in the role. Who would you cast as your book's protagonist.

Ten best movies of the 21st century. I might make a tweak here or there, but this is a pretty solid list for me.

What's this? A new poetry chapbook? From me??? Dive into some existential dread with me while we do our best to live in a world where war is just around the corner. I lub you!

This is one of those books that the further into it I got the slower I read. I wanted to stretch it out and really enjoy the story as it unfolded. Wonderful writing.

Have you grown yourself a mustache? Have you ordered Kyle’s new book?

Yeah, you might be good at writing and handsome and have a lot of friends and people who love you, but do you have a fan club with hand-made shirts?

What an absolute stunner.

Fantastically paced and, IMO, the story is cooked to perfection. It’d be easy to over write this one, but they found a good balance. Artwork is top notch too.

Most books should be written this honestly.

I was on the inimitable Another Fucking Writing Podcast and, if I do say so myself, it’s a pretty good conversation. Check it out!

Junji’s a master of horror. There are some creepy ones here.

Gorgeous artwork and a compelling story about Death getting fired. Hit me in the feels at the end.

There’s a lot happening in this book where seemingly nothing happens.

Check out this STARRED review of BARDO!
“It is obvious while reading Bardo that [Haeger] has really nailed the novella as form. It’s a book to be read in a single sitting.”
