Frontispiece to Hell-Gates Open to All Men (1751)

Welcome to my website. I am an editor, scholar, and writer.

My scholarly research focuses on eighteenth-century British literature and culture and has been published or is forthcoming in Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, and Eighteenth-Century Fiction, among others. I am working on a monograph that explores devils and devilish curiosity in eighteenth-century British literature.

I am also an author of short fiction. My stories appear or are forthcoming in Lightspeed, Weird Horror, Post Road, Black Warrior Review, and elsewhere.
