From short-form copywriting, to long-form criticism, I have written for numerous sites and publications. My book In the Mouth of Madness, a monograph on John Carpenter's 1995 film, was released in 2018.
Other written work includes extensive festival brochure copy (plus marketing/social content), Blu-ray booklet essays, reviews, articles and interviews for such publications as Sight and Sound, Curzon Journal, Rue Morgue and BFI online.
