How to Start Reading Indie In 2012, I finally convinced myself to buy my first ereader. The Nook was, at the time, the biggest purchase I had ever made and my childhood-poverty-stricken brain was panicking. I was determined …

“an unidentified woman with red dreadlocks" snuck into an empty N train at the Broadway station in Astoria and drove it for one stop at four thirty in the morning, presumably just for the sheer joy of it, before vanishing, and I would just like to say congratulations

You really do

Cover reveal, and release announcement!!

My next book, Imperfect Creatures, is out 18th November!

This is the weirdest and best thing I've ever written, and I'm so excited for people to read it.

More news soon!!

A metafictional mind-melter where time means nothing and everything at once, Joe Butler’s third novel blends visual elements, epistolary sections, and cyclical narratives to plumb the depths of loss of grief of horror.

Coming November 18th 2025

An unyielding plunge into memory, grief, and the instability of reality, Imperfect Creatures explores one woman’s experience with the House—an eldritch creature that feeds on pain and suffering, predating humankind’s shared conceptual universe.

The cover of Imperfect Creatures by Joe Butler. A close-up of a distorted face with three mouths and four eyes, overlaid with a red rectangle, which is surrounded by four red frames.

What are you made of?

Is bigfoot just anti-bear propaganda?

Yes its funny—and not entirely helpful in solving our issue 😆

Now this is a great cover!

Interestingly option 3 seems to be winning over on substack. But it’s firmly 1 on tiktok!

A frisbee cathedral?!? Imagination for days.

I just found my 18 year old livejournal

An experimental metanarrative horror with eldritch creatures and heavy family histories should have WHICH COVER: 1, 2, 3, or 4?

Chucking glow sticks into the void still makes it brighter, even if only by a little.

If Jane Austen described Internet reply guys in the prose of her novels (let's pretend the Internet existed back then, or at least the general vibe of it): a thread.

Whats it on??

My editor finally getting me to focus on my book deadline....

A big drawing of a slot machine with text above it that says "Come Try Your Hand At The Wheel Of Meat!" From the coin tray of the slot machine, a big pile of what looks like intestines are spilling out. Small boxes off to the side show the process happening, going from an empty tray to a tray overrun with intestines, accompanied by the words "win or lose the meat keeps going! Nothing will stop the meat!" Big text near the bottom says "The meat never stops coming out of it! Try all you want! It just keeps going!"
