Bio
Author of NoSleep and Creepypasta classics, The Hidden Webpage, My Dad Finally Told Me What Happened That Day, The Arkansas Sleep Experiments, and more.
I've written a handful of acclaimed internet horror stories. They have been featured on The NoSleep Podcast, The Dark Somnium, Creep Cast, and other podcasts or YouTube channels.
My style has been described as surreal, liminal, Lynchian, mysterious. And scary. Always scary. I don't know; I just write the stories the way that comes naturally to me.
Many of my stories are freely available to read on Reddit. I intend to leave them that way.
