You didn’t apply. But they hired you anyway.
In The Company We Keep by Marquee Peters, office doors don’t lead where they should—and the photos on your desk start to fade.
📘 A sharp dose of psychological & corporate horror.

Had a novella published called Forest Underground (now out of print), and have had bunches of horror stories published in anthologies over the years. I had a kid, health probs, and am trying again to slip my mind-trick folk punk horror down that dark lane straight into your brain. 🖤🦇😎

#Halloween post: another raw art piece before final painted color from The Witness novella by @jmdematteis.bsky.social — This one is about symbolically capturing the intensity of haunted grief that can follow us, a haunting that is demanding something be done to prevent a tragedy.

Reviews of Death of a Clown often mention that the reader felt as though it was written for them personally.
So many of us 'misfits' out there, which is why so many of us empathize with Chester's plight on a deep level.🖤
