💀 Queer. Horror Writer and Micro-Reviews. Bass for The Blackouts. 💀 My novella, Pressed, and my solo collection, InhuMANities, are available now!
The Marigold / @afsulli.bsky.social / Living in a city like Toronto where this literary horror is based, real estate horror is a living breathing thing already so I 🖤 the premise. Social commentary meets horror in this fantastic novel, highly recommend for fans of urban & ecological horror.
Wretch / @ericlarocca.com / Absolutely the best work I’ve read by LaRocca. A wildly unexpected & innovative exploration of greed & reverse haunting - the power of the individual to haunt themselves & others with desperate desires.add this one to your TBR pile! #griefhorror #queerhorror #bodyhorror
The Reformatory / Tananarive Due / Racism leads Robbie to be incarcerated at the Gracetown School for Boys after defending his sister from a white boy. Robbie sees haints which the cruel master of the school needs. Robbie battles to stay alive & an anxiety-inducing plan is put in place. #horror
Crafty queer with a glue gun strikes again- forever blooms make great accent pieces. #craftyqueer
Mississauga this morning, no filter. Wild fires, heatwave and a lack of action on climate change.
The Shards / Bret Easton Ellis / I’ve been really into metafiction/autofiction recently & this falls right into that camp. A greatest hits tour of what I love about his writing-ambiguity, obsession, an unreliable narrator, coke-addled supporting characters. #psychologicalhorror #tangibleparticipant
All the Hearts You Eat / @haileypiperfights.bsky.social / An incredible exploration of identity & how we become who we always knew we were + the tragic outcomes that come to pass when our dreams are offered to us at staggering cost. Poetry, heartache and brutality flow freely here. #horror
Too hot to do anything outside so I’m gonna try and get a big word count in on my draft novel today!

One year ago today, at the Berlin Wall. I love travel and thinks it’s also very important to preserve and remember our history, now more than ever.
💀Great Lakes Horror Company is releasing Pressed as a standalone novella with both cover & interior illustrations by Jubal Brown. I’ll have copies for Toronto Dark Arts Market and bring a trunk of them to Stokercon where I just may do a few panels…💀 #inhuMANities #stokercon #horrorwriter #bodyhorror
The Butcher's Daughter 📚David Demchuk & Corinne Leigh Clark / I was transported to the world of Mrs. Lovett in a society intent on her destruction w/ unstable characters that draw you into filth, grit & a blood soaked butcher’s shop plus the set up for a sequel… #horror #sweeneytodd #horrorwriters
