I’m back after being away for ~a year. I’d love to find my people again—lots to share—an agent read my little self-published-book-that-could I’M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU, loved it, signed a contract with me, and we’re now on sub, hoping to give it new life. Please repost to help me find folks again. 🫶🏽

“This isn’t extreme horror or quiet horror. It’s not quite bizarro. I think it would cheapen it to only label it as grief horror. And yet, it has elements of all these things. I’m Sorry if I Scared You transcends all the subgenre labels and categories and stands on its own.” Awfully kind. Ty, Brian!

Good morning. Women in Horror Year continues, and Mae Murray is sorry if she scared you. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

This one had been banging around in my head for YEARS. Very grateful to @agitapublishing.bsky.social for giving me a platform to put it out into the world. 🐺🚗📵

Mae Murray's story in this anthology also kicks a ton of ass. Vivid prose that makes you feel like you're right there with the narrator while the strange, gnarly working-class Arkansas horrors unfold. Highly recommended!

I'm reading an early copy of Side Hustle: Horror Stories for Late Capitalism from @agitapublishing.bsky.social, and God, "TOM" by Michelle Sturges-Brown is such a brutal, sad, incredible story. Up there with "The Mub" by Thomas Ha for essential AI hater stories.

I had a lot of fun(?) writing this one. 🫢

If you like uncomfortably dark humor, you'll love Mae Murray's superb story in Under a Malevolent Eye. A man kills his wife and, on the day he intends to dispose of her body, his son comes home with a government-mandated camera strapped to his chest. www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...

Convo with my mom: "I had to give him gas money for his four-wheeler so he could go frog-gigging. That's how I was paying for the frogs, but then he said, 'Why don't I cook the frog legs and you come over and we eat them together?'" 😳 (1/2)

"Oh, he was trying to lure you with frog legs. Well you tell him you know how to cook damn frog legs." "And I said these better not be yard frogs, and he said, ‘They’re polliwogs.’” 😂😂😂 (2/2)

I’m back after 3 seasons away. So much has happened. My self-pubbed book I’M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU somehow made a list in People Magazine. An agent saw it & I now have representation. ISIISY is beginning the next stage of its life on sub w/ several dream publishers. I’ve done a lot of healing too. 🫶🏽
