this story was so much fun to write! a story of heads that you'll consume using your own head, creating a concentric system of heads; an infinity mirror of heads within your head. You're welcome

Final tally: 30 rejections and 1 acceptance!

My two little stories are back on submission. Hello, 2026, I'm getting out there again!

For 2026 let’s remind ourselves what really matters: weird fiction

Chickenfoot Soup - Lightspeed Magazine A scream rises from the bush. One last call to the living: a warning of pain. Katarina’s heard that same sound more times than she’s had hot dinners but still a ribbon of unease unfurls in her gut. Sh...

I published TWO (2) stories this year and I'm gonna share them and you should read them because they are good. Also they'd be great to think about for awards and whatnot. 🤷

ONE: "Chickenfoot Soup" in Lightspeed. Katarina's got a mean momma and a silly daughter but Baba Yaga is here to help.

I wrote my first short story that really felt like a short story, not just the concept of one. Then I wrote another one I’m even prouder of. Both are on submission.

You know what's good? Books.

Meet Jane, my new Kitchen Witch so named after my great-great-great etc. grandmother thrice accused and acquitted of witchcraft. Creepy Face Brooch still needs a name.

We're reopening to submissions on January 1st.

Writers, ready your most depressing, unnerving, dislocating, horrible stories.

What do Christmas carols & horror films have in common? More than comfort would suggest. From The Lodge to Hereditary, this Morbid Minds essay looks at how ritual, silence, & inherited roles shape some of horror’s most unsettling family stories.

My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me.

How lucky we are to receive two Osgood Perkins’ movies in one calendar year.

😱😱😱!!!!!!

A Friday evening surprise. The first audio version of "House Traveler." Incredibly well done by Preston Buttons. With great audio by Chelsea Davis (the trippy voice for the Liar is particularly cool!) And hosted by Scott Campbell! If you missed it last year in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social, check it out!

Honestly have no idea what some people get out of using AI for writing. Just had all the parts of a story idea click into place and it’s such a satisfying feeling. Why the hell would anyone want to outsource creativity?

Another rejection / another submission.

I reread it every couple of years and it still knocks me out

I read ANAGRAMS by Lorrie Moore in a college course called 'Tragedy in Romance'. It opened my eyes to experimentation in literature--how a novel doesn't have follow one exact shape.

Nothing better than some delusional characters, and this book does it SO WELL.
