I haven’t made a post since the paperback release of Elkwood Kids, my debut horror novel, and wanted to return to the site to get some things off my mind here. I’ve been writing a ton of things, seeing a ton of movies, making art and music. I’ve also been thinking about sorrow and darkness, […]
Hello everyone! It’s been some time since I made a proper post to this website. I’ve been hard at work on a project for quite some time. It’s been several years, actually, since I completed the first draft of my first ever novel, Elkwood Kids. Horror is one of my pet genres. Fantasy was where […]
What you’re looking at below is the word and page count (single-spaced) of a book I started writing in February. This is only the first draft, but now that that’s done, I can start the editing and rewriting process. I started this as a short horror story written in my notes app on my phone. […]

Do you see it now? Look around, damn it!Again and again, it’s clear that the way is through.Not over. Not under. No avoiding this obstacle:It’s an adversary we must bisect and be done with, head on. It’s growing everyday, look at main street, please!We’re not getting any better, we’re not settling into this.Every breath you […]
Being drenched constantly in the superhero genre gets old sometimes. This is especially true when one variety of superhero film in the MCU manages to strangle the market. We’ve seen the genre branch out and spawn films and shows that break the mold, however, especially recently with the likes of The Boys and Zack Snyder’s […]
I don’t normally cover documentaries in Netflix Dumpster Dive. Usually I tend toward horror because they have the most potential for a decent popcorn flick. However, seeing as I’ve been away for almost a year, I figured it was time for an outlier on this series. Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer (or […]
Thsoe of you who followed this site for my review series, Netflix Dumpster Dive, have likely noticed that there has been a notable lack in posts since February of this year. For that I apologize. I want to give an explanation for the series’ pause and give a proper update of where it’ll be in […]
