Plaza

Plaza

Service plazas are modern works of art where I can eat slick food next to twelve lanes of humming traffic, lording over a glittering river of steel and glass.
The Haunting of Hill House

The Haunting of Hill House

Hill House, famously not sane, bothers the soul because Jackson describes the perception of horror, not the horror itself.
Drone

Drone

Tinnitus occurs for many reasons, most of them vague.
The Moment Dots Become a Pattern

The Moment Dots Become a Pattern

I've been stuck on the last 20% of a story I'm writing about a haunted frequency, so I went to the museum to shake some ideas loose.
I Need to Make Mistakes

I Need to Make Mistakes

Radioactivity

Radioactivity

Cut to commercial, and I hum along with a jingle for a machine that controls your brainwaves while you sleep.
Fires

Fires

The Rockies appeared through the gloom, slow beasts moving across the continent at the speed of time.

At some point the screen became the world, and now we’re haunting it.

Midnight Radio

The ghosts of old standards, summoned for whatever comes next.

Midnight Radio

Broadcasting from somewhere between the bells of a temple and the heat of a night market.

Midnight Radio

A tribute to David Lynch that roams through the ruins of vintage ballads and slow-motion noir.

Midnight Radio

Anything worthwhile rests on a knife’s edge like the delicate art of falling asleep.

Midnight Radio

Slowing down my favorite songs has become a spiritual practice.

Midnight Radio

This man was the antichrist. Yes, he was what the end of civilization looked and sounded like.

Philosophy

It’s tempting to classify Death Prom as mere nostalgia, but it is a complicated haunting.

Midnight Radio

A few minutes after midnight in the Mojave desert, a preacher appears on a dead radio channel.

Albums

The artist’s obsession becomes the listener’s obsession.
