There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

Stranger in the Village - From all available evidence no black man had ever set foot in this tiny Swiss village before I came…

Notes of a Native Son - On the 29th of July, in 1943, my father died. On the same day, a few hours later, his last child was born…

Letter from a Region in My Mind - I underwent, during the summer that I became fourteen, a prolonged religious crisis…

A Talk to Teachers - Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time…

If Black English Isn’t a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is? - The argument concerning the use, or the status, or the reality, of black English is rooted in American history and has absolutely nothing to do with the question the argument supposes itself to be posing…

Many Thousands Gone - It is only in his music, which Americans are able to admire because protective sentimentality limits their understanding of it, that the Negro in America has been able to tell his story….

In Search of a Majority - I am supposed to speak this evening on the goals of American society as they involve minority rights, but what I am really going to do is to invite you to join me in a series of speculations….

A Letter to My Nephew - I have begun this letter five times and torn it up five times…

Sonny’s Blues - I read about it in the paper, in the subway, on my way to work. I read it, and I couldn’t believe it, and I read it again…

Everybody’s Protest Novel - A rejection of the protest novel and call for complexity

games (mostly text-based) about houses and places-- exploring them, haunting them, feeding them:

childhood homes (and why we hate them) - after a decade, you return home.

return - a text-based horror game about coming home.

singing from the far side of the hill - about a trans woman, homeless after a bad breakup, who rents a stranger's spare room. it's a decision she comes to regret.

anatomy - Explore a suburban house, collect cassette tapes, study the physiology of domestic architecture.

leave house - leave house

the open house - We at Northtree Real Estate (in partnership with Optix Dynamix Labs) are proud to present our new, state-of-the-art, open house simulator!  Come and take a quick tour of 15615 Hollow Oak Lane, a familiar and comfortable showcase home in one of our premier developments!

what girls do in the dark - This little game is based off one of the greatest fears they had as a teenage girl: showing up late to a stranger's slumber party.

unbecoming - a sonically-textured interactive horror fiction exploring cycles of trauma and unspeakable forces of nature in a mythic rural American landscape.

13 laurel road - an interactive fiction game about the relationships we have with places and reconciling with trauma. You play as a young man named Noah who has been tasked with picking up some things from his cousin’s old house.

domvs - a gothic mystery game in which you rely on your environment to uncover the truth.

flesh, blood, & concrete - you find yourself in a vast, empty apartment complex.

i am still here - a short, unconventional ghost story and vignette reflecting on the end of a long lockdown.

vacant - Film a ghost-hunting show.

I think I’ve sent this before but for me you’d be the patron saint of lace like beauty and self made patterns. A spider web in the sunlight. The feeling of your knuckles being traced. Recognising the smell of a friend. Things that are delicate and can be gone in a second but still happen again. Wondering how it, in some intricate pattern of events, led to this. Yet every time it makes you stand still to admire it.

I'm unwell, I feel terrible being made into poetry. Sick with love that i feel i come so short of it, you're wonderful beyond belief
