Recently read the graphic novel Nervosa, by Hayley Gold. Wrenchingly beautiful, profound. Spent the last few chapters bawling

My new flash fiction collection, Hymn, Incantation, Lullaby, comes out this Sunday!! These twisted tales cover many of my favorite subjects: insanity, questionable life choices, the collapse of civilization, and lesbians. Stay tuned for the big drop
