If I were watching

Sassy bitch (complimentary) saying Shut up you little baby.

Dario Argento (my father) says Murder is very important in my films, it is also very beautiful.

Hell yeah baby, let's go

An airplane ascends through a muddled blue sky. The red branding on the chassis says TRANS WORLD.

Oh christ, no, what have I done

Package label that says sugar free cookies.

Met a big frog

Delightfully spotted green & black & yellow frog with its back to me, escaping through a tangle of grass blades & creeping charlie. The colors of the frog were stunning. My pic doesn't do it justice. The frog was also LORGE.

Me, completely missing the point

Sam Neill, all fucked up emotionally, says, "For me God is a disease."

A mask? He wears no mask!

Orange cat with a chunk of what's probably a chocolate Easter bunny face placed in front of the cat's face like a weird little mask.

Filling the timeline with books to block out the bad

A selection of book photos including: The Wingspan of Severed Hands as a meal (pic by John McNee), Stories of the Eye book cover (my foray into being an editor), and the table of contents of my collection CONVULSIVE.

Are you a reviewer on Insta or Tiktok (where I dare not tread) interested in an ARC of DEAD BOYS DONT CRY when it's available? Let me know!

Announcement for Dead Boys Don't Cry by Joe Koch, coming out in June 2027, described as a cosmic-erotic slasher and queer anti-murder mystery told through interlocking stories, pitched as Cruising meets Robbe-Grillet's The Erasers.

I want what what they have

Laudanum guzzling poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley in a beautifully lit red-draped room. Byron pets Shelley's blonde locks while gazing downward and speaking, probably describing exactly what he's going to do to him in bed. (Or on the roof. It's a Ken Russel film, after all.) Shelley gazes upward past him ecststically, glass raised. His eyes say Yes.

This is now an all goose account

Tomato hornworm (aka hummingbird moth larva) pierced by parasitic wasp larvae.

Author Yukio Mishima as St. Sébastien pierced by arrows.

David Cronenberg and Clive Barker each holding worm babies from their films. It's the eighties, so they're wearing jeans & button downs like sitcom guys. Script at the top says My Two Dads as if it's really a show that was on TV.

Screenshot from psycho; two handsome, dark-haired men stare intently at one another with competitive or barely repressed homosexual violence. Their hands betray longing, reaching for each other across the desk.

Stormy sky behind concrete and brick buildings in downtown Minneapolis. There's glass with sky in it, a couple of brutalist-type buildings or facades, an old-timey looking one, and everything in frame kinda bends like tropism to where the sun should be.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to be the one to share this cursed object. Here you go:

Ha ha, incredible! Kind of good to hear that. I sometimes feel over-exposed in the writing world because I came out after my most popular book, which still gets listed under the name I used to go by even though the publisher fixed it years ago. Here's the original cover.
