Mal Morgenstern is a writer, indie comics artist, performance artist and scholar from Durham, UK. Mal makes art that is abrasive, but brimming with a love for pop culture. They enjoy getting into the folds of bad feelings and twisting themselves like a knife. Their master’s dissertation was on masochism in the midcentury suspense novel, and it’s there in the intermingling of sensuality and violence that their work resides.

They're a member of the Writing Squad, and they have dabbled in academic criticism, media journalism, drag, and spoken word.

They are currently working on:

• their debut novel, an erotic psychological thriller.
• their first graphic novel, about a Y2K-styled team of girlboss war criminals.
• an industrial cover album.
• a foray into youtube.
• ...and now this blog.

Currently Mal is based in Newcastle upon Tyne but, given the Apocalypse, they're particularly interested in supporting online and remotely accessible projects. Contact them by email if you’d like to work with them or see a portfolio of previously published work.
