Listening to Pig Destroyer in the van today when my 6yo asked if this was “metal or black metal?”

And now my baby knows about grindcore.

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.

Let me know if you did and I’ll owe you one in this life and the next.

Today, @farewelltransmiss.bsky.social published my Springsteen essay on death, manhood, and wondering what your grandparents would think of your queerness.

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.

New Tradition:

If you sell a homunculus story, you buy a new tarot deck.

Them’s the rules, bitch.
