    Purveyor of angsty horror, fantasy and sci-fi fiction. I advocate for women's rights as whole human beings with demands, needs, and rights of our own as a sex class. We are human too.

    Author of Grumble and Gasp. Brude Bowyer writes dark whimsical tales of questionable heroes, felonious puppets, doodling gods, and things that go bump in the night.

  • Jenifer Jorgenson

    Fiction and essays from a Gen X brain that’s done pretending things make sense. Stories that creep, essays that cut, commentary that doesn’t blink when the world unravels.
