In the horror industry, few titles reach mainstream status and become embedded in the musty grains of modern society. Most either fly under the radar or become catastrophic commercial flops. Still, some others reach a level of notoriety unlike the rest – a cult-like status that wins the hearts of those who get to experience it while avoiding the triviality forgery of the mainstream. This is a story about how I developed a love for horror, created a show that championed the genre with a good friend, scared the mayor of our small town, then watched it all come crashing down. It’s a story about passion, courage and sticking it to the man … even if the man still ends up winning.
Available in both paperback and e-reader formats!
I became a writer in the second grade when I wrote a piece of fiction based on a scenario I’d built in my basement, recreating – yet improving – the story of “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” with my GI Joes. There was more action and way more violence than the R-rated film, yet my teacher raved about how well-written the story was. It was just an idea that I came up with on the fly for the sake of completing the assignment but my passion for the written word has only continued to grow ever since.
I live just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, with my ever-so-supportive rock star wife. Though my background is in short fiction and horror stories, nowadays I prefer to write non-fiction in the form of observational essays.
