I’m sitting on two novellas now. The feeling of loss that came with the DLP issues is real. Need to rehome my book because this one is ready for the world. Struggling to find leads with it.

So anyways, that’s my plea. I need help. I think these books could both do some good. I think they’re ready to be enjoyed. Ready to be hated. Ready to be loved. Thank you.

My other book, THIS HOUSE IS NOT A HOUSE, was thankfully not a part of the DLP fiasco, but also desperately needs a home. This one is a horror comedy, Hellraiser meets Happiest Season, and is grotesque as hell. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written.

FIDDLE STICKS AND STEPPING STONES is a book about trauma, acceptance, and love. I think it has the power to do a lot of good. I think it’s beautifully weird. It’s angry. It’s cautiously optimistic. It’s dangerous. It’s about all the work we do to untangle the pains of the past.

I’m terrible at championing my voice and my work, but I need to get this one back out there. It’s fully edited and ready to go. 30k words of queer, weird horror. Supernatural slasher, cult in the woods and other unclassifiable strangeness.

As writers, we need to continue to defend the arts against soulless A I bullshit, and that absolutely includes our artist and design community members. We needed to get out ahead of this and hold the line. No A I in art y'all

Every month is great for horror, but this is our month. Let’s make it a good one. Long live horror! (Art by the great Sam Heimer)

They Call Me Macho Woman (1989) was fun. Watching Susan transform from a strong, confident badass in a cardigan into a strong, confident badass in a suede vest was a blood-soaked journey I am here for.

I watched I Saw the TV Glow the other day and am still feeling deeply affected by it. It was a horror that lingered because it was so relatable and cut deep. Beautiful movie.

Edits complete. Extra scenes nailed into the manuscript. I'll have a physical fucking copy in my hands in the next couple of weeks. I'm. Fucking. Happy. πŸ€–πŸ’€πŸ€˜ @EnPocalypsePub @SeanNarrates @barbaracrampton @Kellimaroney @LastDriveInX @kinky_horror
