If you enjoy Gothic Horror like CRIMSON PEAK, check out my LILITU series about succubi, incubi, & vampires in Victorian England. Book 1 follows a woman who becomes a succubus to take down a demon monarchy. Book 2 follows a murdered man trying to escape from Hell to get revenge! geni.us/LilituSaga
I really enjoyed the first half of STRANGER THINGS s5, but it also reminded me a lot of my unpublished Gothic Biopunk cosmic horror fantasy, with some extremely similar images. I still feel so sad that I couldn't find an agent for that book, because it's still my favorite thing I've ever written.

I did an unhinged SPOILER INTERVIEW with @emzbox.bsky.social! If you've finished reading LILITU: BLOODY CALEB, this interview might give some insight as to why I wrote it the way I did. If you haven't finished the book yet, may want to wait until you have:

@realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN is a haunting Gothic masterpiece. I was lucky enough to attend a 35mm screening of the film at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater with @ruthiewrites91.bsky.social, & it was an exquisitely beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.

No, autism isn't caused by taking tylenol during pregnancy.
Tylenol didn't hit pharmacy shelves until 1960.
Autism was first coined in 1911 and first officially diagnosed in 1943.
As usual, Brain Worms Man and Cheeto Benito have no idea what they're talking about.
