Additional Needs (or: How to Tame the Chaos)

High on my hit list? Landing a literary agent who’s brave enough to step into my labyrinth and wrestle the shadows with me.

Next up: I’m looking for a woman to buy the rights to “Bereft Reality” and sprint with it. A self-esteem novel with an almost all-female cast — it’s already begging for cameras, cables, crews. Big enough for your TV binge nights, dangerous enough for the big screen.

Ranked Alphabetically (Ignore the Highlights, They Bite)

  • Ava DuVernay – Powerhouse. “Selma,” “13th.” She wrestles justice to the ground and makes it confess.

  • Greta Gerwig – Turns classics sideways, makes them fresh, dangerous, alive. “Lady Bird,” “Little Women.”

  • Sofia Coppola – Mist and melancholy stitched together. Women adrift. “Lost in Translation,” “The Virgin Suicides.”

  • Selena Gomez – From Disney darling to “Only Murders in the Building.” She knows how to play complexity, and she doesn’t flinch.

  • Jenna Ortega – Wednesday. Enough said. She carries darkness like a badge.

Other Bodies I’ve Buried (Alphabetical Again, Forensic Cleanliness Only)

Twelve filmmakers who could wrangle “They Heinous” and the First Responder trilogy without running away screaming:

  • Ari Aster – Hereditary, Midsommar. He makes horror bleed intimacy.

  • Sofia Coppola – (Yes, again. Don’t argue. She belongs here twice.)

  • Guillermo del Toro – Pan’s Labyrinth, Shape of Water. Fairy tales with teeth.

  • Julia Ducournau – Raw, Titane. Bold. Bloody. Brash.

  • Robert Eggers – The Witch, The Lighthouse. Atmosphere so thick you choke on it.

  • Coralie Fargeat – Revenge. Grit and gasoline, lit with a match.

  • David Fincher – Se7en, Gone Girl. He makes paranoia into poetry.

  • Tom Hanks – Yes, Hanks. “That Thing You Do!” “Larry Crowne.” The nice guy who might secretly direct the darkest one of them all.

  • Jennifer Kent – The Babadook. Trauma as monster, monster as trauma.

  • Karyn Kusama – The Invitation, Jennifer’s Body. She threads tension like wire.

  • Jordan Peele – Get Out, Us. He makes horror talk back to you.

  • Paul Schrader – Taxi Driver, First Reformed. Broken men, broken systems. My novels would eat out of his hands.

Open Invitation

Looking for someone to come down into my basement (don’t worry, only half the lights flicker) and interview me about my books, my characters, and me — the author who built this funhouse. Bring a flashlight. Bring a recorder. Bring courage.
