ABOUT ME

279518733_579149213305918_58765112487583

I've written for sites like Buzzfeed Reader, Birth.Movies.Death, LitHub, and Electric Literature. I write about culture (especially film and television), faith, unexplained phenomena, and what our interest in these things says about us - the weird, the wonderful, the painful, and the human.

My debut novel, Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses, is out now from Quirk Books. You can find my podcast, Thin Places Radio, on Spotify or your player of choice. In fiction, I love exploring queerness, illness, grief, liminality, comfort in horror, and empathy for the monstrous.

I'm represented by Dana Murphy at Trellis Literary.
