New Animals (Holohaus, 2021-ongoing)
Amid shrapnel from a universal ecological detonation and corporate massacres in the Arctic circle, two mercenaries witness a hideous miracle: the polar bears grow human faces.
The bears are messengers. Animals are being replaced with new animals-- warped substitutions that buck all natural law. Some feed with hyperdense singularities, others live time in reverse, still others bore holes through any material with their gaze.
Essin spends their days numbly pushing through their shifts at Starbucks. They've fallen in love with Lacie, a brilliantly violent woman they met in a landfill. The two shudder together and treading through their days working shitty jobs.
As transformations accelerate, the neighbourhood falls under new animal sieges, and Essin's dreary life dissolves. They fall under the scrutiny of the two jaded soldiers who saw that first metamorphosis-- and their duel over who will master the mutating world...
New Animals confronts the heinous fuckery of our imminent future: epistemological collapse, military-industrial amoebas, mass extinction, and the hideous masks people adopt when facing a totalizing disintegration of everything that underpins their daily lives.
Cosmuseum (Andata Express, 2020)
A mobius strip of human history unfolding in administrative and metaphysical bedlam! This experimental novella takes the reader across a museum that bends time and space, fact and fiction, bringing the supernatural and banal for exhibition in the grandest sense of the word: magnanimous, sometimes comedic, always on the move. Shall the museum staff succumb to administrative decay? When will the director return? Is there another 'bat' related exhibit?
