Welcome to My Cybercave

I’m David Anaxagoras and I write stories where weird things happen to good kids — sometimes in space, sometimes in haunted towers, sometimes just down the street. First time here? Stop by the Visitor’s Bureau.

My latest short story, “Gumba Cuddles,” in which a boy accompanies his grandfather in the NICU to cuddle infants from war-torn lands, is out now and free to read in Hell Itself. You might also enjoy my recent short story, “‘We Require an Engine,’ Said the Testicle Collective,” in Translunar Travelers Lounge.

Want more weirdness? Check out my works page to see what more I’ve been up to. And if you’d like free monthly(ish) dispatches from the writing life - including essays, excerpts, story notes, reading logs, and occasional giveaways - subscribe to my author newsletter, Anaxagology.
