I'm the author of three novels published by Melville House, The Weirdness (2014), The Insides (2016), and Relentless Melt (2023). All three of them are about magical claptrap, diabolical villainy, and ordinary human confusion. A selection of some shorter work (essays, short fiction, and poetry) is here, and while stuck at home in 2020 I started a newsletter.
I teach writing at Northeastern University in Boston, and sometimes I give talks and readings other places.
In addition to my writing and teaching, I have a few other oddball projects going. I make abstract electronic music as one half of the duo Doubtful Forms and I make abstract comic art as one half of the duo Churchdoor Lounger. I also run a strangely popular Tumblr where I post people-less shots from other people's films.
I take photos of books and urban textures and abandoned places.
In the past, I designed a post-apocalyptic tabletop game and recorded music as one half of a drone/noise band.
I use tools like Linktree and Are.na and Pinboard, and I keep a partial list of stuff I'm reading at Bookshop.org. And links to lots of other things I've done, past and present, can be found here.
