Fiction and Essays
I write fiction and essays about art, culture, and the state of being human.
Read my most favorite stories.
Misery Tourism
“When we founded miserytourism.com on April Fools’ Day in 2012 as a place to share our homebrew tabletop games, we gave the site the tagline ‘terrible games about terrible people in terrible situations.’”
X-R-A-Y
“X–R-A-Y Literary Magazine’s vision is to publish uncomfortable, entertaining, and unforgettable prose that shines brighter than the skeleton in your body, prose that sees through the skin and reveals something deeper.”
Triangle House
“Triangle House is a Brooklyn-based literary community established in 2017. Triangle House Review publishes a literary web magazine monthly(ish) and select books rarely, and hosts the Homebound event series and the Housebound blog.”
Okay Donkey!
“We like to read the odd, the off-kilter, and the just plain weird. We like things that are funny, things that are sad, and things that are funny and sad at the same time. We especially love to read the experimental, the surreal, and the genre-bending.”
My words appear in the above publications, as well as the likes of Riot Material, The Wall Street Journal, Cell Vision, and SUITED Issues 3 + 4.
