    Local Music, Independent Artistry, Intellectuals, Anti-Republicrats, Demonology, Subjective Relativism, Art Teachers, Cynicism and Cyanide, Philosophy and Formaldehyde, Dogs.
  • Music

    Gothy, Angry, Grungy, Techy, Industrialy... and any music written from the young heart of an old spirit. *EXCEPT* for Emo, Country, Gangsta Rap, and Bruce Springsteen. You gotta draw the line someplace.
  • Television

    None. TV and playing cards are things to do when you're in prison or in a retirement home. I've got too many things to do to waste time on crap TV programming.
  • Books

    Yes, thank you. I like books, especially books that scare, excite, titilate, disturb or otherwise push your emotional buttons.
  • Heroes

    My parents for giving me a (relatively) normal childhood. Thanks to them, I have no good reason to be pissed off about anything, and that really pisses me off.

  • I've written a full-length manuscript called "The Demonslayer's Handbook" which is currently being edited and should be published in late 2009.

My Top Artists

Blurbs

About me:

I'm a horror author from Minneapolis, MN, which in and of itself is pretty frightening.

About Being a Horror Author:

“Oh.”

That's the second of two “Oh”s I tend to encounter when meeting new people. The first is when people discover that I’ve written a book.

“Oh!”

That’s the first one. It contains properties of surprise, and positive expression: eyes open, lips curl slightly upward. This is of course followed by:

“What kind of books do you write?”

I used to answer, “Dark Fantasy” but I don’t like to lie. Any story with the word “eviserated” in it falls into one category: “Horror.”

“Oh.”

There’s the second one I was telling you about. Eyes narrow, lips curl slightly downward, sometimes there is a notable shudder. Like Winnie the Pooh said, its ’something that gets you’. The spirit of the art that possesses people is always a pleasant one. I’d rather be happy drawing pictures of unicorns or something, but you have to play the hand you’re dealt.

On Being a Horror Author from the Midwest:

Let’s be honest, Minneapolis is great… in the summer. But when the temp drops to the point where molecular motion nearly stops there isn’t much to do except sleep, drink, and write either progressive rock music or horror novels. Ask Björk, she knows…

Who I'd like to meet:

I like to meet artists; people who create things. Writers, painters, musicians, sculptors, directors, producers, architects, etc... These are people who shape the world.

I'd like to meet Metal Sanaz too, because she's smoking hot. Makes me want to be worth interviewing...
