New Story Published!
Dragon Soul Press’ anthology “Midnight Bites” was published today! It has my story “The Day of the Exterminator,” maybe best described as comic sci-fi horror. One of my favorites.

I remember Patti Smith blogging she was reading this once a while ago. She’s a huge fun of Kavan. Me too!

Amazing anthology! Contains my short story, “The Day of the Exterminator,” a comic sci-fi horror work with lots of bugs. One of my favorite pieces and fun to write. |

is on page 50 of 1246 of The Rouse: This one is moving too slowly for me. I appreciate the Joycean writing but this goes on DNF.

“I peered through an arched tracery of stone upon the shadowed moon and wondered if I had there a moon-maiden counterpart whose glaucous eyes were slumberous with death.”

“The existentialists' view of love is not romantic, because they do not believe in love as an abstract force or amorous sunset walks along the beach. However, Cox also said, "if your idea of romance is somewhat more gothic and stormy, full of heartache, yearning and the thwarted desire to possess breaking up, making up and breaking up again, tears before bedtime and tears in the rain, then maybe it is romantic".”
