Last chance, this week, to pre-order my book and help me battle against the all-powerful algorithms! Truly, if you love indie horror, there is nothing more supportive you can do than pre-ordering, sharing your stoke everywhere you can, and leaving reviews after reading our work.

Tomorrow through Sunday, you can catch me at the best horror convention in the PNW! Come check out some awesome events, locally-produced horror films, and the party on floor 13! LFG!!! 😈

I've had the honor of working with SK Ehra over the past few years in a variety of ways, from podcasting to co-writing and exchanging feedback on each other's work. Her opinion is one I hold in the highest regard, as she never pulls any punches Thank you, SK, for taking the time to read this!

We're kicking off May with a bang! Our second-ever Fermented Fiction live show features a debate between two friends of the show: Matt Dinniman and Philip Fracassi, who will be facing off, on stage, over one of contemporary horror's most controversial adaptations:𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

As we get closer and closer to release day (May 2nd, at the Crypticon Seattle Horror convention), I become more and more inspired. So for the rest of this pre-release promo tour, I'll be sharing some quotes from those who've inspired the words within the pages of 𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘯 and 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦.

This week, we return to Westeros to debate A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with my long-time friend and collaborator, Kyle Love of BadWater Productions. Link in my bio.

I'm still shell-shocked by the luck I've had in this career since diving headlong into it six years back. One such instance of luck was meeting Leopoldo Gout and having the privilege of hosting him on Fermented Fiction. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and blurb 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦, my friend!

I am so grateful for readers taking the time to share their thoughts on Of Beasts & Bones, the newest horror anthology from Inky Bones Press. A huge thank you to author Clay Vermulm @clayvermulm.bsky.social for this fantastic blurb! Coming April 28th—I hope you're ready for it! 😱

home and unpacking. more from the next day! @clayvermulm.bsky.social, @willalex.bsky.social

The best compliment I ever got from NJ was her telling me I have a "perfectly shaped skull..." from just anyone, that could be a bit strange...but from an ER doctor, I'll take that every day! Thank you so much for reading my work, NJ :).

Who's got two Bram Stoker awards and loves some isolation, rock climbing horror? Robert P. Ottone, that's who! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this book and for lending your voice as an endorsement, my friend. I appreciate you!

This week, we invite my friend and fellow hiking enthusiast Matthew Mercier to debate one of the latest installments in the Alien franchise...let's return to Alien: Earth.

Thanks to MJ Kuhn for braving the frigid heights of 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦, even though she still spends time out in the wintry woods! Appreciate your endorsement, my friend!

One of the greatest honors a writer can hope for is the respect and the endorsement of their peers. Rae, thank you so much for taking the time to beta-read my new book and for providing invaluable feedback to make it a stronger narrative. I appreciate the hell out of you!

Huge thank you to my friend CS Humble for the kind words! If you love psychological, isolation horror with a dash of adventure in a high-altitude setting, then my novella 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦 might be your next favorite book. If you love the book, please leave a review!

If you live in the Port Angeles area or want to take a trip out there for an awesome convention, you should come out this Thursday for our first-ever Fermented Fiction Live show! We'll debate K-Pop Demon Hunters with two special guests and our signature, themed cocktail menu!

This week, we welcome back a friend of the show, Luciano Marano, to debate the horror series, Supernatural. We'll be focusing on seasons 1-5 as that completes the Satan-Sam vs Arch Angel-Dean arc, which is...debatably the best portion of the series. Link in bio.
