MY FULL-LENGTH NONFICTION DEBUT!

BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT


Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.


HE LED US INTO THE WILDERNESS AND SPOKE TO US


My fourth novel! November 18, 1978. Jonestown, Guyana. A psychopomp's lament. The echoes of atrocities past and future. He Led Us Into the Wilderness and Spoke to Us is one part cosmic horror, one part historical fiction, and one part religious horror. Pick it up today and experience a journey you won't forget.


CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HATRED 


Congratulations on Your Hatred is my new novelette; part of the Madness Heart Pocketbooks series! Congratulations is a strange, cosmic take on a Frankenstein story. On Huemul Island, something has awakened; something powerful. Its creator left a message - and a mission. Pick it up today!


THE ARCANUM DUOLOGY (ft. ART BY ASTRID K. MICKELSEN)


A duology of illustrated novels featuring original Tarot cards that accompany each chapter! The journey begins with Arcanum Volume I: Initiation:

Welcome to Shade; city of secrets, city of nightmares, and, most importantly, a city of the dead. In Shade, humans live amongst those who lurk in the darkness. Come, watch the Tarot cards fall one by one as a strange fortune is cast.

Each chapter of Arcanum is a Tarot card designed and illustrated by Astrid K. Mickelsen. In Volume I: Initiation, the first five cards of a ten-card Celtic cross spread weave a tale of occult horror and dark urban fantasy; pick it up in paperback or on Kindle



Continue the journey in Arcanum Volume II: Mysteries:

Temple Song is on the run. Pursued by a murderous cult, she sought – and gained – the help of Sophia Felix, an ex-necromancer, and Sophia’s mother Maria Gomez, a powerful witch in her own right. They’ll need more help than that to ensure Temple’s safety, however. They’ll need the help of even more dangerous forces than those already unleashed.

Each chapter of Arcanum is a Tarot card designed and illustrated by Astrid K. Mickelsen. In Volume II: Mysteries, the last five cards of a ten-card Celtic cross spread wind up the conclusion of a tale of occult horror and dark urban fantasy.

A BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD


My debut novel, A Baptism for the Dead, is available now on Amazon and through the publisher, Madness Heart Press! The Old West was a place that held terrifying secrets: the dead, the damned, and the bloody mysteries of resurrection among them. Trace one family's journey into power, murder, and madness! 

SATAN SPEAKS! CONTEMPORARY SATANIC VOICES


If my thoughts on non-theistic Satanism interest you, be sure to check out Satan Speaks! Contemporary Satanic Voices, which includes my essay “Better to Reign, to Reign Ourselves Better: Satanism in the 21st Century.” Although this essay was written before my excommunication from The Satanic Temple, I still stand by my thinking on bodily autonomy and how Satanism's values can offer us as an ethical framework as a post-moral guide. There is more to come, and I will update and/or repost this list as more of my work becomes available.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

A Sinner's History of Utah: The Commercial Street Red Light District

posted on 8/12/2015 by the Salt City Sinner I moved from Utah to the American South as a teenager, and pretty quickly learned that if you hail from the Beehive State, there are a series of extremely dumb questions you will be asked when people first meet you that would not be asked of someone from, say, South Dakota or Maine.  “Are you Mormon?” is obviously the first one – and a pretty reasonable question, all things considered. That is usually followed up with some sort of question about polygamy, however, which is lazy and ignorant and gets old remarkably quickly. Sometimes I would be asked if one can buy alcohol in Utah. This is, again, a not entirely unreasonable thing to ask, especially since many of these interactions took place back in the days of private clubs and membership cards – but it did strike me as a little silly given that I was often asked about Utah and booze while going to college in Conway, Arkansas, which is a town located in a dry county where sales ...
