Blog postThis month I’m truly delighted to share a story published in the esteemed Ligottian literary journal Vastarien. My story “Fugue” is a quiet, introspective piece about lost connections and longing that shares a table of contents with Gwendolyn Kiste, Daniel Braum, Wendy N. Wagner, and many other wonderful authors. In addition to publishing Vastarien, Grimscribe Press released one of my favorite collections, Christopher Slatsky’s “The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature,” and Gemma Files’ recent Bram

Blog postFriend and recent editor of “The Book of Queer Saints” Mae Murray is running an intriguing campaign on Kickstarter. Here’s a quick preview:
“An abortion. A haunting. Alien abduction. A sapphic love story. My novel will have it all, & you can be part of it.”
“I didn’t even mention the cannibalism.”
“Today, I am ready to write my first novel. It’s about being queer in the South, about leaving home and returning to a place that has remained the same when you’ve change -
Blog postMy book CONVULSIVE is more compost than rainbow but I know some of you out there are my people. These horror stories chew their way through various gender perspectives and scream for freedom and transformation.
This may be the first year I feel I’m allowed to step up and be part of Pride Month. If you spent most of your life closeted, are you allowed to claim your place?
I’ve decided to answer YES.
Thank you for reading! If you enjoy my work, please follow for newslett -

Blog postHere’s the second part of an in-depth conversation about several stories from my collection CONVULSIVE. The host claims, “I still have all my bones.”
I’m skeptical.
I’m not sure you can make it out of the book without some scars. At least that’s what I’m hearing from readers.
I won’t confirm or deny any interpretation of the stories because I think that’s entirely up to the reader. I truly appreciate the people who spend time with my characters and weirdness. I’m touch -
Blog postFour new fiction pieces are out in anthologies now! Ranging from black metal to Kate Bush, from mathematically impossible cities to the problems of doppelganger harvesting, there’s a broad range of madness, poetry, erotica, and rage to explore in my latest stories.
Here’s a few quick notes. Enjoy!
Eclipse, Embrace – in the anthology “Let The Weirdness In: A Tribute To Kate Bush” from Heads Dance Press – Exploring geology and the strange shapes love takes through the lens of th -
Blog postListen to three stories from CONVULSIVE discussed in depth: Good Paper, Offerings, and The Anatomical Christ. I’m flattered the hosts of the podcast “Monster Dear Monster” found my writing worthy of this deep dive–with a focus on monsters, of course!

Blog postCONVULSIVE sold out with the April 19th release of the paperback! More copies are on the way. It’s great to know the book is in demand yet sad that readers can’t get a copy for the moment, especially because many of those readers are friends. Does an author celebrate something like this? Yes and no, I guess!
I’m a little blown away by loyal readers showing up and asking for CONVULSIVE, especially because it’s only my third book and well, I have esteem issues and it comes as a surprise -
Blog postCONVULSIVE is out today!
Thanks to Ben at Apocalypse Party for working with me on this one, to Matthew Revert for an amazing cover, to Eric LaRocca for writing a beautiful introduction that made me cry the first time I read it and still makes me gasp, and to all the talented editors who previously published the stories inside including Sara Tantlinger, Evans Light, Ira Rat, Sam Richard, Joseph Bouthiette Jr., Ken MacGregor, Regina Garza Mitchell, Joe Sullivan, Lindsay Lerman, CM Mulle -

Blog postSadie Hartmann tells a story about another avid horror fan looking up to her for recommendations with such admiration and respect that she dubbed Sadie “Mother Horror.” The name stuck. It’s the perfect title for Sadie as a reader, reviewer, and promoter of great literary horror, and as the owner of the horror book subscription service Nightworms, who’s motto is “Horror is Our Happy Place.”
I’m honored Sadie took the time to speak with me on Lit Reactor! I managed to talk her ears off -
Blog postLast month my first short story to be available online in audio format came out in Issue 35 of Three-Lobed Burning Eye Magazine. I met a new friend by putting out the call for a narrator when the talented Rain Corbyn responded, and a week or two later learned I would also share a table of contents with them in a charity anthology to benefit transgender youth in Texas! More news about that soon.
Rain is an author as well as a voice actor and was the perfect choice to read “Oakmoss and -
