“Horror Surrealism At Its Finest”

In a related note, I’ve updated this collection of blurbs for the book after receiving stunning praise from Gretchen Felker-Martin and Laird Barron (rather unexpectedly!). If you’re a writer of any merit, you probably know how hard it is not to be constantly critical of your work. Editor brain makes us good writers. As a counter-measure against letting that critical voice become defeatist, here’s some reminders of what others have to say about INVAGINIES: https://horrorsong.blog/2024/03/17/advance-praise-for-invaginies/

Pre-order INVAGINIES coming June 2024

Invaginies is an invasion, it is a perception that is bodily and transcendent creating holes, paths, or pockets of alternate truth—and not always voluntary—enlightenment.

Thank you for reading! If you enjoy my writing, please follow. I only post when I have new work to share and news of upcoming releases or events.
