Daniel Robichaud's Interests
|
| General | Genre Fiction, Literature, Mainstream and Independent Films, The Macabre, Mystery/Crime, Theatre, Cooking and Eating (yum!), going on trips, science (specifically physics, biology and chemistry), and a whole passel of other things! | | Music | I enjoy all sorts of music. Some of my favorite albums are Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, Leaves' Eyes' Lovelorn, Garbage's self titled first album, Korn's Issues, Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, Loreena McKennit's The Arrival, and Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime. Attractive features: thoughtful lyrics, a good sound. I've been through a lot of 'phases' and several moods return regularly.
On the classical side of things, I rather enjoy Schubert and Mozart, a wee bit of Bach and "the Ludwig Van", Handel and others.
Also, I'm a fan of film scores. I enjoy the works of Philip Glass (also his non film work), Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, Howard Shore, Lalo Shifman, Angelo Badalamenti, John Ottman, and others. | | Movies | I used to aspire to be the world's biggest movie buff. I collect DVDs, though I don't go to the cinema nearly as much as I used to. I enjoy all sorts of pictures. Favorite directors include Hitchcock, Scorcese, Jean Luc Godard, Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick. One of my favorite "modern" horror films of all time is John Carpenter's 1981 remake of The Thing. Foreign cinema is a special love, especially some of the exciting films to come out of Asia in the last ten years, such as Miike's Audition and ChanWook Park's Oldboy. | | Television | I don't watch a lot of television. In a way, the television is merely a vehicle for DVDs, Veronica Mars and Lost. Don't have cable or TiVo or any such thing. | | Books | Now here's my preferred form of entertainment. Everything from contemporary fiction to classical. Probably one of my all time favorite novels is Watership Down by Richard Adams (more than merely a book about bunnies). I enjoy books by the likes of Gary Braunbeck, Lucy Snyder, Vladimir Nabokov, Jack Ketchum, Joe Lansdale, Sherry Decker, Stephen King, Robert E. Howard, Tina Jens, Bev Vincent, Lynne Hansley, Jeff Strand, Christopher Moore, David J. Schow, Hemingway, Ray Bradbury, Larry McMurtry, Nietzsche, Doug Clegg, Ed Lee, Jim Thompson, James Ellroy, William Carlos Williams, Sam Shepard, Tennessee Williams, Eugene O'Neill, Lillian Hellman, Willa Cather, Pat Cadigan, Harlan Ellison, Joyce Carol Oates, Charlee Jacobs, Poppy Brite, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, Charles De Lint, Flannery O'Conner, Oscar Wilde, Gustav Flambert, Willa Cather and many, many more. | | Heroes | There are a lot of people who have affected me. A lot of folks I aspire to share strengths with. Some of them already know how much I admire them, others do not have a clue. However, I shant share their names here. |

About me:
Welcome to my tiny piece of MySpace! Come on in. Sit a spell.
Perhaps you're wondering who I am...
Well, I was born in southeastern Michigan and now live in central Massachusetts (with my lovely wife Trista). By day, I am a research engineer with the University of Massachusetts Medical School. By night, I write fiction.
What kind of fiction do I write? Much of my work incorporates at least some elements of fear and darkness and falls most comfortably into the many faceted thriller genre (sometimes supernatural, sometimes not). My work has appeared under a variety of labels including horror, mystery, adventure and even (gasp) romance.
To date, I have sold over two dozen short stories and poems to either print on online markets. Currently, I am involved in writing more stories and novels as well as shopping a few screenplays around Hollywood.
I don't get out much, but I always enjoy a good story.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Fellow creative souls who are interested in fiction, films and other artistic outlets that explore the many facets to the human soul and human nature.
Also, readers interested in any variety of genres of stories.
Essentially, I'm looking for fun and intelligent people, the same sorts of people I enjoy communicating with/meeting in the flesh.
