Writer living in Los Angeles. Nerd for analog tech, vintage games, & anything sci-fi & horror-related. My first novel, POLYBIUS, is available now from Gallery Books. BLACK MAIL, from Blackstone, & THE EARTHLING, from Atria, will be released in Spring 2027.
28 years onward, Serial Experiments Lain feels prophetic in its dark depiction of the internet: the loss of real human connection, an inability to distinguish oneself from an online persona...it's an anime that's only become more relevant with time #serialexperimentslain

Desensitization, paranoia, loss of human connections... it's like this show hasn't aged a bit.

I'm not gonna tell you that you should watch the film, but El-P's soundtrack is end-to-end phenomenal. One of the more blatant examples of the quality of a score far exceeding a film. open.spotify.com/album/1YhBv7...

The term "cozy" gets thrown around a lot these days but then you start watching Columbo episodes on Tubi and it all clicks into place...

I've been obsessed with this game never existing since I first learned about it. Would've been a(n admittedly, probably terrible, bc most were) full-motion video game for a system that was kinda sorta never officially released, the Halcyon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KCX...

Started adding more titles to my emulator recently. 10+ years doing this & I'm still going back to racketboy.com for retro guides. One of the best #retrogaming resources online.

#filmsky #horrorsky 10 years late to the party but THE ALCHEMIST'S COOKBOOK is fascinating. Extremely low-budget & at times it shows in some unbecoming ways, but its mix of horror, awkward comedy, & human tragedy is wild & unique. If you have the patience, it pays off. tubitv.com/movies/58394...
The Alchemist Cookbook (2016)
An outcast young man moves with his cat to a trailer in the woods to become an alchemist, but his turn to black magic has dark and scary results.

About 2/3 through with Polybius, by Collin Armstrong. I think it’s aimed at a younger audience, but scarier than “Fear Street.” It would make a lovely movie. Polybius itself remains generic and nebulous herein. And the protagonists are a little bit Lex & Tim Murphy. Not a bad little summer read!
Check out the August volume of Grim Omen featuring an interview with Collin Armstrong, the author of horror novel Polybius, a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming game Grave Seasons, and a first look feature for Mortal Shell 2. What was your favorite feature this month? #GrimOmenMag
#filmsky Been seeking out experimental films on YouTube. I sadly lack the attention span to sit thru something this formal & lengthy anymore, but as background viewing it was exactly what I was looking for. La Region Centrale, by Michael Snow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6YH...

#horror #horrorsky Watching IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS & realizing they leave for Hobbs End at the :30 min mark but so much has already happened. Peter Jason busted, agent axe attack, alleyway hallucination X2, solving Kane's puzzle... kind of insanely fast-paced.
It's Friday & this is the vibe as I try and wrap up work on something new. Once again, you're looking at an ultra-processed shot of bees, with a synthscape built using Moog's Model 15 app. #glitchart #video #videosynth #videosynthesis #videoart
#glitchart #glitch #videobending #uap #ufo #circuitbending Fifth in a series of glitch videos using archival footage and sound related to UAPs. It was glitched with an unbranded video amplifier and a Vidicraft Vidimate detailer.
#horror #horrorsky Rewatched SMILE & SMILE 2. We've been eating so well as fans these past few years that I feel like these are in danger of being forgotten. 1st is a study in being made to feel uncomfortable, 2nd is a gorgeously produced explosion of violent chaos. Great all-around filmmaking.

#glitch #glitchart #video #videoart Friday vibes. Another heavily processed nature clip, this one some footage I shot at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. What had been jellyfish are now failed renders of a cityscape. I created the soundscape with the Moog Model 15 app.
The weirdest thing about writing fiction in this decade is we're held to a higher standard than reality. We're told to write with nuance, that even villains should have layers, and meanwhile the AI guys are literally shredding art and admitting they want to monopolize basic thinking for profit.
Evil is right Actually whats a stronger word than evil because this man is a either a ghoul or a demon in human skin
#horror #horrorsky Seen this trailer dozens of times. Still makes my skin crawl as soon as those b&w strobes start to hit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyW5...
