THE FALSE SISTER



Jesse Greer’s troubled older sister, Crys, has run away from home. Shy, socially awkward Jesse assumes that she has returned to her old haunts in the big city — until he discovers Crys’ remains in the woods behind his family’s house. Traumatized, Jesse runs to his parents for help, only to find that Crys has returned home, alive. Folklore meets dark suburbia in this tale of growing up queer in the 1990s. Now available from Knight Errant Press! Cover art by Sadia Bies. August 2023.




CORRUPTED VESSELS

Southern Gothic meets surrealism, Corrupted Vessels is a story about terrifying angels, messy realities, and queer life on the margins. Originally self-published as a free-to-download PDF file in March 2020, Corrupted Vessels was distributed in print and as an e-book by the now defunct swallow::tale press in 2021 and 2022.



Corrupted Vessels is now available once again as an e-book or a print-on-demand physical book. This version has been lightly edited and completely re-formatted; it also contains a BRAND NEW 8000-word story called "New Eden". The cover art is by my friend & publisher, Rysz. This edition was released in August 2023.






BODY AFTER BODY

In this short novel inspired by the Mountain Goats & John Vanderslice concept EP Moon Colony Bloodbath, three indentured, memory-wiped laborers at a crumbling storage facility make some unexpected discoveries about the genetically engineered mutant bodies they tend each day. Sex, drugs, violence, cannibalism, psychic powers, a catgirl (sort of)…Body After Body is the lurid, dreamlike, amoral queer/trans sci-fi trash literature at least four or five people have been waiting for. 232 pages. Cover art by Tom Horstmann! Originally self-published in October 2020. Free (or pay what you can).
