Horror writer. Professor. At one with the coffee. See what’s what at http://gorelets.com
Some of the events I’ll be a part of at #stokercon this week! Come join in the fun. I’ll also be at the mass signing and Stoker banquet. And often at the Seton Hill table in the dealer’s room.

The return of "The Uncanny and The Abject" class -- live only at Horror U / StokerCon 2025 in Stamford, CT! Must register separately. Totally worthwhile for new writers to bundle.
I'm also reading, doing panels & the banquet. #SHUWPF will have a table in dealer's room!

"Last Words at the Execution" is today's post in my series for #NationalPoetryMonth
They aren't all poems in Bluebird Guts; there are also little Jolts of narrative and prose poetry -- about 100 of them (yup) -- all very short stories and/or situations like this one. #vss #horror
