My stuff is corporate horror. Think biotech startups with bad intentions. AI models that mimic the wrong things. If you are writing about high-tech mundane evil, drop a comment. I want to read it.

#Frankenstein wasn’t a mistake. He was a prototype. In PRIMACY, nightmares didn’t die out, they got promoted. Biotech grows horrors, trademarks them, and calls it progress. The apocalypse isn’t an accident.

Taking a break from the writing brain today. Watching some football, dragging the holiday decorations out, and trying not to get tangled in a thousand feet of lights. Just a chill day before I dive back into the chaos.

Welp, I just sent PRIMACY in for Bram Stoker Award consideration — First Novel. 🫣
Near-future corporate horror. A biotech empire that treats classic monsters like product lines. Frankenstein, Moreau, Moriarty… all on payroll.
