ABOUT THE HORNERY
A creative operation run by one person, a cat with opinions, and the general chaos of being alive in this particular era.
What Is This Place?
The Hornery is a personal creative hub. Not a brand. Not a content strategy. Not a pivot. It's where the work lives — music, essays, fiction, and the occasional item adoption service run by a cat named Skips McCoy.
The name comes from the obvious place and the less obvious one simultaneously, which is sort of the whole point. There's a long tradition of using provocation as a door — you knock on it laughing, you walk through it thinking. That's what this place is for.
Everything here is connected by a single thread: a genuine refusal to be told what to care about, what to feel embarrassed by, or what direction the Overton Window is supposed to be pointing this week. If that sounds like your kind of chaos, welcome. If it doesn't, that's fine too.
The Projects
Mabozza Richi is the music project — genre-fluid, lyrically spiky, conceptually somewhere between a cabaret act and a manifesto. The debut album is out now on all the usual streaming platforms. It is not background music.
The Wrong War is a Substack. Essays, dispatches, and the occasional full-length rant about why we keep fighting the wrong battles. Sexual politics, media criticism, class warfare, and whatever else is on fire this week. Subscribe if you've got an appetite for it.
Long Term Story Telling is the fiction archive — episodic, found-footage-adjacent, deeply strange wrestling conspiracy fiction told in stills and text. It's been described as "exactly as unhinged as it sounds" by the person who made it, which should tell you everything.
Saru Keiji: Kyūzai is a manga project in development — a hard-boiled detective story with a primate protagonist, elemental crime syndicates, and enough noir atmosphere to drown a small city. Watch this space.
FlipsWithSkips is the item adoption agency — pre-loved goods curated by Skips McCoy, a six-year-old cat with an eye for quality and absolutely no interest in explaining herself to you.
Get in Touch
There's no contact form here. The Hornery operates on the principle that if you're determined enough to find a way to reach out, you probably have something worth saying. The links in the various project pages are the way in. Start there.
