PADRAIC MAHER CEPEK Archivist of Millennial Gothic

Padraic Maher Cepek is a writer based in the Chicago area. He is the author of Milk Is For Ghosts, They're Still Writing Me, and The Shape of the Silence.

His work codifies the genre of Millennial Gothic—fiction that explores the horror of systems, digital erasure, and the specific anxiety of a generation raised on collapse. He writes about what happens when the haunted house is replaced by the open-plan office, and when the ghosts are less terrifying than the algorithms.

When not cataloging modern dread, he is likely perfecting Chicago street tacos or attempting to log off.
