Hello and welcome. My name is Joy Pfeiffer and this is the place where I keep my writing. I started this blog a few years after I had some success on r/nosleep with my short story “We tried to keep them out. We tried to bar the door. We are so, so sorry.”, In a perfect world, I’d keep up better with my writing, but as you can probably see, it comes out of me in spurts and starts. However you stumbled upon this corner of the interwebz, thanks for being here ⏤ I hope you find something you like.

Who am I? I’m a thirty-something living in San Francisco with my husband and 4 cats (Sammie, Salem, Goose, and Ripley). I am a UX writer by day, but in my spare time I write everything from poetry to horror fiction to essays about my life and experiences as a woman, a survivor of abuse, and a person living with depression and anxiety. When I am not writing, I’m also a voracious reader, music enthusiast, coffee obsessive, and amateur photography nut. My home is cluttered with books, horror memorabilia, adorable everything, and enough clothing, costumes, and makeup to stock a small shopping mall. I am a regular on the JoCo Cruise and take any opportunity I can get to dress up or cosplay.
The way I see it, world is a massive, never-ending abandoned mansion, and I want to open every door and peer into the shadows to see what lurks in the dark; exploring the vast darkness of humanity is where my passion lies. I want to get the nightmares out of my head and onto the page., and hopefully touch a few other people’s souls in the process If you enjoy my writing, please let me know. You can email me at noiselessjoy@gmail.com or find me on Instagram or Threads at @headheartgutbackbone.
Stay curious,
Joy
Dear Miss Joy, this would be my first perusal of any BLOG whatsoever; so far so good. I too study things unseen to common eyesight. Writings such as yours expand my mind. I’ll keep an eye out for more.
