Safe writing is boring writing.

When I sat down to write The American Bottom, I didn’t want to rely on the safety of a cliché. I didn’t want a chaotic monster jumping out of a closet. I wanted clinical, suffocating psychological dread.

True horror breathes in the negative space of our history. The Smithsonian Institution didn’t just lose the 1893 files on the Cahokia mounds; they curated them. They buried the truth about the Cato lineage because the reality of what sleeps under the soil of Little Egypt would break the public mind.

This book is a collaborative explosion. I built the trap; now I need your imagination to spring it.

We one month away from the drop. If you aren’t on the ARC team, the vessel is almost prepared. You can lock in the pre-order price right now before it goes up on release day.

Prepare your mind. The temperature of the room is about to change.
