BY THE WAY, I had a poem out in @smallwondersmag.com earlier this year
Daughter was not born,
but emerged from the last fox’s mouth
in the last forest of the world

Got a minotaur story called "His Horns Carry Mathematics" out at Plott Hound 🐂

I have a new one out ✨
3rd novel done, pending a final light editing pass and I love it so much 💙👄💙
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. 😶🌫️
"'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."
- @linardos.bsky.social in "She Burrows and Invites"
“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.”

If publishing weird, unsettling, horrific pieces of ecofiction is wrong, then I don’t want to be right
Listen—closely, if you dare—to @linardos.bsky.social's new poem "It Could Worm Inside Your Ear."
