Got a minotaur story called "His Horns Carry Mathematics" out at Plott Hound 🐂
If publishing weird, unsettling, horrific pieces of ecofiction is wrong, then I don’t want to be right
“Spindly fingers tickle his neck, reminding him of skittering cockroaches. The massive presence latches on his back, flapping a cold draft with its wings.”

“Writing is an outlet for me, and I have both envisioned nature taking revenge, or characters larger-than-life protecting what I feel powerless to protect in the real world, and both shades are ecofiction.”

"'Down here, you.'
Feminine voice. Seductive rasp. The manchild kneels over the hole, carefully avoiding the blackened earth. An insect skitters the hole’s rim—beetle body, but a drooping antenna carries a bulb reminding him of angler fish."

Listen—closely, if you dare—to @linardos.bsky.social's new poem "It Could Worm Inside Your Ear."

Been quieter on social media, but got several updates:
Forthcoming original fiction this year in Rotting Leaf, Plott Hound, Cosmic Horror Monthly, BFS Horizons & a poem in Small Wonders
Plus reprints in FFO (signed yesterday!), TtT, and No Sleep Podcast
Love y'all. Back to my cave. 😶🌫️
3rd novel done, pending a final light editing pass and I love it so much 💙👄💙
