PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Digs MOTHWOMAN

Brian Evenson Praises My Forthcoming Novel MOTHWOMAN
“A dizzying story about one individual’s confrontation with the transient nature of reality, and what this encounter strips away within her. A sharp, quirky adventure that overlaps alien abduction, horror, conspiracy, cryptids and existential dread in a way that only Nicole Cushing could manage to pull off.”
I’m have great respect and admiration for Evenson’s work, so obviously this praise thrills me. Can’t wait to share the book with y’all!
Coming in October: MOTHWOMAN
I’ve inked another deal with Word Horde!
Mothwoman is a novel about family, grief, aliens, mental illness, trauma, sexism, the Mothman legend, Covid, and the encroachment of unreality into American political life.
This one, I think, combines the style and playful dark satire of A Sick Gray Laugh with the grimness and relatively quick pace of Mr. Suicide. I can’t wait to share this with y’all!

Cemetery Dance to Publish THE PLASTIC PRIEST
Cemetery Dance Publications was my gateway (as a reader) into the small press scene when I discovered their magazine on a bookshop rack ’round about twenty years ago. I’m delighted to be working with them on a trade paperback and ebook novella, The Plastic Priest (to be released in December of 2023). I’m very grateful to Kevin Lucia for making room in his stable for a Weirdo! Huzzah!
