One time Karen Russell called one of my short stories "really genius," and I'll be coasting on that high for the rest of my life

I ordered a new wall calendar for 2026 because I cannot function without analog organization. It blew off of the front porch before I could go outside to get it.

I hope this isn't a metaphor for the year to come.

Fans of the Travolta story in HORSE SHOW, buckle up!

A similar but even stranger story involving a disappearing dog (or three?) named Tiger, has just been accepted for publication...!

People can read my book wherever they want, performatively or otherwise. In fact, I >hope< they do it performatively. Make sure title and author are clearly legible.

this is your periodical reminder that seeking "fidelity" in adaptation is a fool's errand due to the shift in medium among other things

also there are more than 200 adaptations of Frankenstein, ALL are valid retellings and unique utterances worthy of study

thank you for coming to my ted talk

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.
