A landscape opens out
Different shades of green
all to absorb
as branches fill out
with shouts of spring
There is almost deafening
sound of silence
just the repetitive strains
of my dog panting
as he pulls one way then another
tracking some indecipherable scent

A meditation on myth, media, and the machinery of guilt. Inspired by the story of Amanda Knox, but speaking to everyone whose life is made into a spectacle. We are all at the mercy of the stories others write in our name.

WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES lands on Barnes & Noble’s Best Horror of 2025 (So Far) list! “Part satire, part social commentary, part macabre, this visceral, thought-provoking novel is not just horror but a wake-up call.” This really makes me happy. Thank you! Read the full list here: bit.ly/3HojzAE
