Still living in Germany, and running a small business in Norway (vasser.no). Lately I've been diving more into Midjourney again, and also try to get used to Cursor as my main editor. Still fall back to Sublime Text fairly often, and also have enjoyed experimenting with Zed, as I feel that is closer to Sublime Text in feel. But small things nag me and I keep falling back. Still, I more and more realize that I need to get used to using AI in a better way. Doing everything manually by hand for sure starts to feel a bit ancient. Also exploring more design-oriented tools lately. Really liking what Framer is onto. Last updated: 6. june 2025

Works in progress ----------------- I haven’t published yet—that’s coming soon—but I’ve written a bunch of short fiction and have a couple novellas in the pipe. Briarcliff ---------- `Working title // Final draft` A moody horror short about one man’s desperate sacrifice to a prehistoric supernatural force. This piece is an experiment in narrative by elision, drawing inspiration from video games’ heavy use of environmental storytelling. Crossroads ---------- `Working title // In progress` A hopecore novella about a down-on-her-luck artist who takes a job at a supernatural boutique. The shop is a community for outcasts: an immortal, curmudgeonly bookseller; a neurotic fire sprite; a pair of klutzy sibling witches; and one exhausted manager somehow holding it all together, despite the sins of the shop’s demonic angel investor. The vibes are cozy, and our artist finds family and community there, but Crossroads also holds a secret—_we don’t talk about the hellmouth in the basement_—and that secret could threaten everything. The Blizzard ------------ `Working title // In progress` Shiloh loved nothing more than the thrill of the open road, but the sirens giving chase from behind and the black blizzard looming ahead were a bit more thrilling than she’d bargained for. The Deep -------- `Working title // Temporarily shelved` A cosmic horror story about a deep sea salvage dive that encounters a threat beyond human understanding, and a secret organization that will do anything to keep that threat hidden. This piece is a claustrophobic katabasis into the deep, filled with interpersonal tension, existential dread, and even (somehow) malevolent mathematics. Tribute ------- `Working title // In Progress` A grim supernatural flash in which a traitor meets his diabolical fate. This piece was written for an upcoming live reading.
