Bill in the Attic

About me:

In the past, my fiction has appeared in a number of print and electronic publications, including Flesh and Blood, The Edge, Deadbolt, Rage Machine, AntiMuse, Byzarium, and many others.

For a few years back in the late 90s, I edited the small-press horror 'zine, Dread. Later, I resurrected the publication as an on-line site, Dred, which ran from October 2005 until January 2009.

Although most of the time these days I traffic in dark fantasy and horror, my reading tastes range widely. As a kid I read a lot of mystery and fantasy. When I reached college, I became more engrossed in the works of American Realists and Naturalists, especially Mark Twain, Theodore Dreiser, William Dean Howells, and Richard Wright. I also discovered an affinity for the minimalist dramas of Samuel Beckett, which I suppose is kind of odd juxtaposed against the big volumes written by most of my other favorite writers.

All good things come to an end, and I eventually came to the realization that spending the rest of my life in college was not really a practical plan of existence, no matter how much I enjoyed it. Eventually I wandered forth with my English degrees and found a job working in a completely unrelated field, as is nature’s way. It pays well enough, keeps me decently occupied, and is something that I will go into detail about here . . .
