There are few things better than little weirdos. By that, I mean gribbly little monsters of various stripes, from goblins to Gremlins to smaller, weirder things. And while there are plenty of examples from throughout history, folklore, and media, some of the original little weirdos are the ones that appear…

Continue reading →: “Then the law of the night gave birth to crevices through which ghosts could slip.”
I think I was first introduced to the works of prolific Belgian writer Jean Ray (in fact only one of the many pseudonyms of Raymundus Joannes Maria de Kremer) in Ann & Jeff VanderMeer’s doorstop survey of classic weird tales simply titled The Weird. The two stories of Ray’s collected…

If you also follow me on social media, then you probably already know that I co-host a monthly podcast called the Horror Pod Class with Tyler Unsell of Signal Horizon. You probably also know that we record it live at the Stray Cat Film Center, after hosting a free screening…

Continue reading →: “the soot of the factories in its face and the pounding of machinery in its soul”If you’ve been following me on social media, you probably saw that my story “The God of the Overpass” is in the June issue of The Dark.

For nearly three years now, I have been working on and off for Privateer Press as a freelancer, writing large swaths (roughly 50,000 words each) of their Iron Kingdoms: Requiem RPG. It isn’t the first time I’ve worked with the folks over there, either. Those who have been around for…

Continue reading →: You Want It Darker
“Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is a film I’ve watched several times,” someone on the internet once quipped (and I am paraphrasing here), “but I’ve never seen it.” The joke being that the aforementioned sequel was so poorly lit that you frequently couldn’t see a goddamn thing that was happening on…
