Thursday Throwback He scared me. Violent rages of a hurting teenager. A corded telephone ripped from the wall. Drywall punched through. One day, out of the blue, he asked, “You want to watch a movie with me?” I nearly levitated off the ground from the upswell of hope. The feeling evaporated and the soles of my feet stayed flat on solid ground. He had done this before. The Swing Sam Logan text is on a black background. Image of a corded telephone in the bottom right corner.

This gritty piece stands out for its unapologetic depiction of lived violence and the bluntness of the narrator. It's short, sharp, impactful.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

joe koch isn't just one of the finest writers of weird and transgressive literature working, today, but truly is one of the best to ever do it.
if you ain't reading joe koch, are you even really reading?

A free book. Because we were moved to make it. A confederacy of weirdos. An homage to Ligotti. An encrimsoning.

I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!

But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)
