Still plenty of healing to do, but there are more and more days where I realize the younger me would be pretty stoked with how I turned out.

It’s the last 48 hours for Splatterpunk noms🩸If you fuck with my work, it would be eternally chill if you emailed [email protected] to say you nominate DISCO MURDER CITY for Best Novel.

People ask me why I write horror and it’s this.
Horror is your big sister who just lets you talk shit about those who hurt you, and won’t try to correct what you’re feeling. You can just Be.
Truly life-affirming shit.

I’m now working through a small stack of home invasion novels and it’s a shockingly underwritten subgenre in modern horror. We’ve got hella haunted houses but hardly any honest to god invasions. This says something about us, but I’m not sure what. Perhaps I’ll find out at the bottom of the stack.
