It's a RATM kind of day, for obvious reasons. And in times of helplessness, I turn to art. Sometimes it's the only the way to resist.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

Man, this is very kind of you. Thank you!

My latest novel, THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE, is a mix of grief and cosmic horror about an over-55 retirement community. It was named one of the best horror novels of 2025 by @libraryjournal.bsky.social. Published by @shortwavebooks.bsky.social.

After several false starts, I'm finally back on track with SIMON'S QUEST, a new novella and entry in @shortwavebooks.bsky.social's KILLER VHS line scheduled for 2027.

Here's a teaser. Fans of the Southland Mythos will understand the significance.

More soon. ✌️

I don't like doing this, but when a friend comes to me in distress because their publisher is using AI to promote an anthology they're in, I feel compelled to call it out. Weird House Press has used AI before and continues to do so. See below. Keep that in mind if you want to work with them.
