(he/him) I write things. Scary things, funny things, speculative things.

I Told You Not to Look, my latest story, is out now in this horror x crime anthology from the stalwart @HOWL_Society. An LAPD detective gets more than he bargains for in search for a cursed book. Blood + gore + weird + representation + humor.

[HOWL Society @HOWL_Society]

HOWLS FROM THE SCENE OF THE CRIME is now available! Edited by @of_ichor and @JessicaPeter1 and with a foreword by @cinapelayo, it features stories by @okokno, @Buehlmeister, @ashesandmochi, Gwendolyn Kiste, and members of the HOWL Society.

Dare you investigate?

@CosmicHorrorMo Is that me??? Am I & more??? Sorry, I do get excitable.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@TL_Coughlin I always say in 100% each of my “halves.” (Filipino & White American). We’re not half each. We’re both.

@JolieToomajan Oh, thank goodness. I was trying to get a story to 2K words for this one.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

I’m on the LA Metro Red Line trying to get to Union Station. The train has been stopped in the pitch black tunnel now for about 20 minutes. The driver doesn’t know what’s happening. I haven’t seen a train go the opposite direction. So … zombies, right?

@sillysyntax Yeah, I don’t speak my mom’s native language. So? Third culture kid, I guess. I don’t like OP’s take, because there is shame in saying that you will never know your culture if you don’t speak the language. No need to rub that in. It’s not our fault. Diaspora can be beautiful.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@timwaggoner Yes! I love novelizations of films. It’s an under-appreciated art form.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@JessicaPeter1 @HOWL_Society @of_ichor Glad to help!!!

@JolieToomajan Child me definitely thought I was playing Zelda, at some point, before someone told me it was Link.

@aadip I used to use soft lenses for my astigmatism, but I’ve never used hard lenses, so I can’t compare. They seemed fine for me. Biofinity torics.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@AiJiang_ Look at that setup! That’s some serious equipment, looks like you’re using it properly.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@TananariveDue @luchina @marco949 Hell yes!

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@aadip @LukeBarnett You killed it on the drums.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@JolieToomajan Wow! I listened to Laura read the story at Stokercon. It’s so good. Congrats!

@JoyceCarolOates It’s figurative language. Mood-setting. Anthropomorphic. Mythical. Out-of-context as a single sentence. Non-literal. Like in your wonderful writing!

@aadip A puppy. She basically shot a puppy. Basically, it grew out of its cute stage and then she killed it.

[Peter Ong Cook @tweetercook]

@writersjones @LucasBrownEyes Correct answer, CB.
