Thanks! Nice way to close out a dumpster fire of a year.

Thanks!

Winding down 2025 with story acceptances from two of my favorite quiet horror/weird fiction magazines.

“You need to free up storage space on your phone for the new update.”

Translation:

“We’re about to render your phone functionally useless.”

That moment when you swallow an oblong pill sideways and feel like you’re in Loony Tunes.

This is what is going to happen. There will be a thin top layer of non-digital universities — and all the tech billionaires will send their kids to those places.

I do love a tale of the abyssal plains…

Delighted that Heartlines chose to release this piece just as snow is finally starting to fall along my stretch of coast ❄️

A very prominent anthologist once yelled at me for saying so but I still think we need more presses releasing weird/horror collections

A picture of bioluminescent vein-like neon structures of fungi in soil with text of my awards elligible stories atop. Text reads (from top to bottom): Un-Pragmagic: A Tyler Moore Retrospective (fantasty; lightspeed magazine; 1500 words) In the Dream, He is Skinless and Beautiful (Horror; Weird Horror Magazine; 2300 words) The Eternal Life and Art of Maxwell Ardeen (Sci-fi; Asimov Press; 2000 words) How to See the Dead (Sci-fi; Asimov Press; 5000 words) Bird Burning (Horror; Adroit Journal; 5000 words Life on Earth (Sci-fi; Phano; 1700 words)

It is once again the season to make a poorly designed but earnest awards eligibility post for some of my fiction published in 2025! (links below).

Same. I saw it in a theater with a great sound system and was utterly floored. Rewatched on television later with my partner, and while it remains a terrific movie, definitely not the same experience.

Thought of the day: Origin stories in horror are generally not a good idea.

Horror is predicated on mystery, and the more interesting and thought provoking horror on mystery that cannot be resolved.

Origin stories often undermine that sense of the unknowable.

Ah, the old inversion of the classic trope trope.

Michael Cera has a faintly Pennywiseish vibe, but that's true in anything.

Finally got around to seeing the new version of The Running Man. Enjoyable enough for what it is, and this is one of the few times I’m going to say “Yep, they definitely needed to change the ending from the book.”

Hey, folks, please consider grabbing a copy of this anthology. I hope to keep it going.

If you follow me on this or any other platform and your feed is full of AI-generated crap, you’re getting blocked.

It’s cool to be part of the horror writing community. You get sincere praise for the exact same stuff that prompts some version of “Why are you like this?” from your friends and family.
