Does your family poke fun at you for your strange interests?

Do you wander into curiosity shops despite having no need for a stuffed porcupine or a pair of 19th-century dentures?

If you’re fascinated by offbeat topics like insanity, near-death experiences, medical mysteries, life extensionists, sociopaths, hermits, cults, and society’s outliers, welcome! We’ll get along just fine.

And if you’re a normie who can’t relate to any of the gibberish above? We’ll still get along. I’m often told I seem more normal than my books would suggest. (Still not sure if that’s a compliment.)

This newsletter is a monthly dispatch on my writing life—how stories get made, mangled, murdered, and, occasionally, resurrected.
