Void effect

I love how I had such a great time at @voidcon.bsky.social yet every picture looks like I was there to debt collect for a strip mall bookie

That's my baby :3

HES GOT ME

PHOTOS FROM THE VOID

Feeling the VoidCon afterglow on my writing blog: meatthink.wordpress.com/2025/10/19/v...

“ONCE UPON A TIME I WAS FALLING IN LOVE NOW I’M ONLY FALLING APART”

A free book. Because we were moved to make it. A confederacy of weirdos. An homage to Ligotti. An encrimsoning.

Cash me in the frost-choked fjords, howboutdat

It’s a wonderful feeling when someone whose work you absolutely adore and who you didn’t know was aware of you specifically includes you in a list of writers to check out in the horror issue of the longest continuously running literary journal in America.

At VOIDCON we make it rain a lil differently than most clurbs… SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

Finally had a chance to crack open my copy of the @southwestreview.bsky.social horror issue and found my story illustrated by @lumierebelge.bsky.social whose work I've followed for a few years. I'm not sure if the editors knew this; if so, thanks! If not, amazing confluence of energies, thanks!

My VOIDCON haul.

Voidcon was a real one. 🤘 Here's something for you: rocking @alexwoodroe.com 's jacket.

Pub day is here! My debut cosmic horror novella FEEDING THE WHEEL is officially out on store shelves and digital marketplaces all over the world. Instead of droning on about how proud I am of this work and how fulfilled I feel as a writer, I'd like to take a sec to thank everybody who made this real

VOIDCON 3 It's tough to say something that hasn't already been said, to put into words what this weekend meant to me. If you can't find your space in the world, build it. Endless love to the Void Collective: Olivia, Evan, Sam, Charlene, Michael, Talmadge, Matthew, you all have my heart.

I had a few people say things this weekend like “Are you one of the organizers?” and “Are you a writer?” And yes I’m one of the organizers they don’t just keep me around to do speeches about how you’re gonna die and yes I’m a writer I wrote a book called CHURCHBURNER you should check it out. 🔥⛪️🔥

Backmask smells like cigarettes and old man cologne Death Cleric smells like incense and blood

Wanna hear @ossuary.bsky.social talk with me and Russ about Dracula: Prince of Darkness? Of course you do! open.spotify.com/episode/5w9T...

I did my first reading from Split Scream 6. It was a moment of catharsis. My mother died a few weeks before the release and I’ve struggled with the text since.

Couldn’t have gotten through the weekend without the legendary @michaelboulerice.bsky.social and his aperol spritzes!

@justinlutz.bsky.social band shreds!

I just filed paperwork for something extremely cool. If this goes badly, bring it up with my enablers I met at @voidcon.bsky.social If this goes well, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and have definitely never relied on my horror/smut community for friendship, advice, support or work /s

@voidcon.bsky.social recap post. Thanks to everyone who organized. It’s truly a unique event focused on community. Highlights 1/x

Summary of @voidcon.bsky.social: life doesn't owe us much and publishing even less, every chance we get to live new things, be happy in these skins, and love on our people is gravy. Appreciate the Void for giving us gravy time. They did a great job and looked cool doing it. Hail Void crew!

Listened to this fantastic episode again on my drive home from @voidcon.bsky.social and found it extremely relavent to the ‘Horror As A Place’ panel. Highly recommended. #psychogeography podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Traveling to @voidcon.bsky.social , I didn't know what to expect. So I crafted a camouflage outfit. Passing glance I'd just look like a generic toxic white guy..but not if you looked closer 🤡 @lardhumungus.bsky.social CarFart hat And @kerbcrawlerghost.bsky.social designed T-shirt

The @cacomixpod.bsky.social @voidcon.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social special crossover-event of the decade! Watch for the foil embossed holographic variant covers! @saracentury.bsky.social it was great meeting you 🤘

At @voidcon.bsky.social, I passed out canvases , stickers, canvas board card paintings. A handful snagged these "void ghoulies" I painted in my motel room #voidcon #darkart

I spent last TR, FRI, & SAT in Gettysburg @voidcon.bsky.social meeting & rapping w/ writers, artists, readers, musicians, & friends. It was life-affirming and life-depleting. Here's to VOIDCON 4, wherever it may be. And to all independent horror endeavors.

I don't think I've ever experienced post-con depression quite as hard as I am right now after @voidcon.bsky.social. We're talking "childhood pet funeral" levels of bummed out. I miss my people and I need a hug and a sandwich and a nap and another hug

The end credits have run on @voidcon.bsky.social ...for now. The Ashen Road stretches ever forward. It bends and twists in circuitous ways. Those who walk it are forever changed. All journeys end, but the Ashen Road remains . #voidcon will return ...

I've been driving for about 45 hours since Wednesday, but I'm now home, safe, and back at work. Had a bunch of fun at @voidcon.bsky.social It was nice meeting everyone and seeing friends. Now buy something so I can chip away at the debt from buying other people's books. 💔

Beautiful weirdo weekend. Truly inspiring. Honored to have been a part of it.

My haul from VoidCon 3! Really this is only a fraction of what I would have walked away with if I had the cash - there were so many amazing artists and vendors there! I'll just have to start saving for VoidCon 4 🖤

2 a.m., in defiance of confederate ghosts

I spent all weekend surrounded by friends, engrossed in conversations about writing, publishing, creativity, forging a truly diy approach, shit-talking, friend-praising, and more. Honored to call these fucks friends, and to have made new ones. I took zero photos but made the front page of a paper.

Spent the weekend hanging out with folks in the void, and it was amazing. Thank you to the Void Collective who put it together, and all the awesome people I connected with in Gettysburg, for such an awesome and memorable time. Can’t wait for next year

Back in NYC after a killer time at @voidcon.bsky.social. Giant devil horns to the organizers, all the cool folks I met, the @tenebrouspress.bsky.social gang for hanging out, and @itsmedavidcorse.bsky.social for taking karaoke into his own hands. No thanks to the authors for draining my wallet

I feel like an apparition. Hollowed out. Bones rattlin around in an empty tank. If you were one of the last ones standing on any night of VOIDCON I both love you and hate you and I hope to see you again soon. THANK YOU.

ATHAME Closing down the afterparty…

I may not be remembered for much, but at least they’ll remember my eye-burning outfit 🤷🏻‍♀️😅
