Fuck, Marry, Kill is a newsletter that explores literature, culture, and the complexities of identity, violence and desire, from the grotesque to the questionable to the sublime. Sometimes a personal bit about my writing life, as well. As a subscriber, you’ll also get access to Goth Book Club, a monthly Zoom meet-up where we discuss a book and dive into its themes together. Subscribe for an exploration of literary insights, book recommendations, and conversations that don’t shy away from nuance.

about me

I’ve published four books, most recently, Deliver Me, a slow-burn horror about a woman who will stop at nothing to become a mother; a collection of short stories, Nudes, that explores queer and working class lives, a short novel, Gag Reflex, in the format of a Livejournal, and my debut, Animals Eat Each Other about a young woman whose first heartbreak is a couple seeking a third. I’m also an editor at The Creative Independent, which is a resilient resource about how creatives do their work; I’ve interviewed authors from the likes of Gordon Lish and his son Atticus, to legendary visual artists like Penny Goring and Sasha Grey. I’m now pursuing a doctorate at the University in Glasgow focusing on female rage in literature and most of the work on this Substack will focus on my interest in this.

about the book club

Fuck, Marry, Kill is the home of Goth Book Club. We meet once a month on Zoom, focusing on a mix of dark classics (such as Mary Shelley), contemporary indie authors (such as Juliet Escoria), and other works that alchemize the beautiful brutal. As a subscribing member you get access not just to the monthly meets, but the audio recordings of our chats which remain in the archive forever, so if you can’t make it to one, you’ll never miss out.

However you are here, and whatever you are here for, I’m excited to have you. Thanks for spending your time with me. Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives.
