Dark fiction. Weird. Mean. Uncomfortable. The type of fiction that doesn't play well with others. Vote for your favorite work of the year on the Filthy Loot website.

Me neither. Buy my poetry book. 🥰 I’ve been a little facetious about this book since it came out, but it’s two older OOP chapbooks that are some of my favorite poems I’ve written.19 Oct 2025 20:37 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3l5shbt422phttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3m3dh6fj6ws2sSometimes a review for one of my books pops up, and I go, “Oh yeah, I write.” 🪦 I might have to take my publisher hat off for a few days and finish the story I started last month.16 Oct 2025 19:04 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dh6fj6ws2shttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3m2knp5tcos2nWeird question: I’m driving to PA this week (for VoidCon—be there) and never know if I should just drive until I can’t feel my legs, then find a museum or bookstore to recover… or actually plan the stops. Do people plan their cities ahead of time?06 Oct 2025 22:24 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2knp5tcos2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3m234jg2dsc2vA surreal coming together of worlds, my music has been played on L'étranger, and now, a piece of a story. 🫶 Nice to be there alongside other people like @jackskelley.bsky.social @houseofvladpress.bsky.social Scab Magazine and Blake Butler!

If you didn't come, you're just not getting a thank you. Are you? If you're thanks-incentivized, you'll have to remember that for next time. https://dailyiowan.com/2025/09/08/the-one-of-us-literary-fest-brings-horror-fanatics-together/10 Sep 2025 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyiciulfv22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lwchzf4ahs2kJust got interviewed about ONE OF US. When asked why I'm doing it, I compared myself to George Mallory, who said he climbed Everest "because it was there!" I jokingly said this was "because it wasn't." This... is a lie. I responded by making a "uhhhhhhh" sound like Tina Belcher for 20 minutes.13 Aug 2025 18:40 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwchzf4ahs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lwa4ev2odc27A quick reminder Bryon Dudley and I recorded an EP called City Dead, full of lo-fi 70s Italian horror movie-inspired music. It's coming out on cassette soon, and you can order it now from my Bandcamp. https://irarat.bandcamp.com/album/city-dead12 Aug 2025 20:07 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwa4ev2odc27https://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lw7lshl4ps2kReason #382 Why I Hate Digital Media: I decided to start linking the previous interviews, etc. on irarat.com I would say for every six that I've done, one still exists... 🤷 https://irarat.com12 Aug 2025 15:10 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lw7lshl4ps2khttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lw7dygfsf22yTFW, you realize that your zine wasn't on your webpage for god-knows-how-long. If you liked "I Preferred His Underground Stuff," you might enjoy this one... Or not, thems the breaks, it's a poetry chapbook. I'm not going to provide a money-back warranty. 🚬12 Aug 2025 12:50 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lw7dygfsf22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lvnxsjmdes24Follow the link on the Filthy Loot website for... a little bit more information.05 Aug 2025 14:57 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvnxsjmdes24https://bsky.app/profile/eyerarat.bsky.social/post/3lrchv4fh6s2a11 Jun 2025 03:32 +0000at://did:plc:oi5sp4mgvccdl5cstitoxsrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrchv4fh6s2a
