Hi bluesky people.
I write #horror. I'm the author of the #gothichorror novel FAIREST FLESH (Elizabeth Bathory + Snow White but feminist), and novella HOUSE OF PUNGSU #joseon Korea feels + more feminism). I like things sorrowful, haunting, beautiful, and horrifying, usually with a dash of history.

A village in Joseon period Korea where the children don't die... as long as they offer their baby teeth to the Magpies.

Just saw an indie bookstore in Lowell, MA, has SILK & SINEW in stock (shoutout to La La Books). My dad's from Lowell. My grandfather's buried there. I like the idea that somehow, this book bearing my name is somewhere they at one time existed. What a strange and really neat idea.
