I can't... I can't explain what it's like to be a woman in this country anymore. They don't care if we die. They don't care if we die. They don't care if we die.

Fuck every performative asshole who pretends that the 2024 election is abstract and/or that both parties are the same.
It will have very real, direct, and immediate consequences for us and the people we love.

My wife has an unusual healthcare issue, and it's glaringly obvious that this system is very misogynistic.

A lot of the obituaries will be whitewashes or 'gentlemanly' in their delicacy.

haha. Well, the "pl" part is when I get ideas for stuff that happens down the line. I write the scene like ten chapters later and then work them together. Salmonweird (my low fantasy) in each case I've written the last chapter shortly after the first few.

Mycophilia is a bleak horror short about a lonely impoverished trans man who becomes obsessed with his upstairs neighbour. It goes very strange from there.
Since there's apparently three more days for the Stoker's Jury to make their recs... MYCOPHILIA is my most popular short story ever, and a great deal of people have reached out to tell me how much it meant to read it.
Please consider it.

Asher lives in a shithole. It wasn’t always a shithole. A couple of centuries back it would have been a nice townhouse for a respectable family of means. Since then it’s been chopped into two flat...

I’ve always imagined my muse as a kind of a miniature boyish Audrey Tautou with the dress sense of Luna Lovegood – bright, colourful, quirky with some odd fashion choices. She dresses that loudly even when giving me the most brutal horror ideas.

Oh man. This is a good one! They would look world-weary and sad and beautiful. And being around them would be uncomfortable and silent and force you to reflect on yourself. You would want to run from them, but you can’t bring yourself to do it.

I remember the pain of having to wait a whole month for a new issue of The Sandman. This will be a much longer wait, but it's very exciting!

Charlie Evans smiles. I love seeing his cheeks crinkle as his soft lips lifts his face, how his green eyes twinkle with love and laughter above the light freckles poking across his skin.
But something is off. His smile is wavering and there's blood dripping from his fingers... #HorrorWritersChat
