Shortlisted for brave new weird

My short story, "The House of Coiled Earth," featured in Neon Hemlock's amazing anthology The Crawling Moon: Queer Tales of Inescapable Dread, has just been shortlisted for Brave New Weird volume 3.

I am so grateful to the wonderful editors at Tenebrous Press for this fantastic award. I am in incredible company, and regardless of the final winners, the next volume of Brave New Weird is going to be mindblowing.

"foreign body" published in necksnap, issue 0

I'm so happy to see Necksnap Magazine Issue 0 out in the world, both because it features my body horror flash fiction piece, "Foreign Body," but also because I love to see the horror community growing. And from my own backyard, no less! Huge thank you to the incredibly kind EIC John Hanley for his wonderful work putting this issue together and taking a chance on my incredibly weird, gross piece. 

I'm excited to see what Necksnap has in store next!

charity anthology to benefit western nc

If you were looking for ways to support folks impacted by the hurricane and flooding in Western North Carolina, I am a contributing author in the charity anthology There's a Haint in That There Holler from Laughing Man House. With 42 contributors, it's a great way to extend the spooky season while helping out people who really need it!

All profits will go toward the following causes:

WNC Regional Livestock Center helping farmers & animals affected by the flooding.

Hearts with Hands supplying food and essentials to Buncombe county shelters.

Don't Forget the Backroads campaign to aid Yancey County & Surrounding areas.

Black Trans Collective to help black trans people impacted by the hurricane.

Coming Soon: necksnap issue 0

I am thrilled to announce that I will have a new piece out in Issue 0 of Necksnap Magazine! "Foreign Body" is a flash body horror piece that means a great deal to me, and I'm so happy I can help inaugurate a new horror mag that hails from my hometown of Durham, NC!

The issue will go live on the magazine website before the end of October.
