▓ Hi, I’m AJ.
I’m a fiction writer with a focus on psychological horror and mixed media. I believe the world is an infinitely wonderful and terrible place. Art is a way to grapple with both its beauty and its horror.
I’ve been writing since I was ten. Back then, I wrote by hand with a pencil.
Now I use a pen.
