Horror writer. Overly tired. Probably annoying a cat somewhere. Architects of a Dying World out now! Order below! Or wherever! https://linktr.ee/stevenealwrites

My debut novella "Architects of a Dying World" released on the 15th!! If you're a fan of weird sadness, eco/cosmic horror, or ritualistic violence, it'd mean the world to me if you checked it out! (Links in comments)

One must enjoy seven servings of weird in these dark and weird times, especially now. Enjoy this feast of weird wonders, these outliers from the norm of other magazines.

There's something especially stinky about receiving rejections on a novella that lost its home. I KNOW this book is good enough to be published, it had a contract for pete's sake, the self doubt isn't logical, but it hits hard regardless.

I've been receiving emails for Lance Pittman for a solid month now and I really can't remember if I used a fake name to sign up for something or if someone has pulled a dastardly prank upon my inbox. Perhaps it was I, the dastard.

As we're about a week away from opening up I want to clarify: We believe trans kids have a right to exist, no one is illegal on stolen land, and in a free Palestine. This is to say if your socials or story have right wing bs, the sub is getting deleted without consideration or response.
