Writing

I got my feet wet writing r/nosleep stories in 2012. I’m still always hankering after plot twists and revelations. When I started sending out my work in 2017, I had very little idea about what stories could do. In some ways, I still have a lot to learn.

Now, my work explores psychological realities with an unreal bent, a reality pitched to an intense frequency where my characters grapple with the sublime and terrible. I consider horror to be my first love, and I carry this sensibility over to my other non-horror work.
