Horror

Due to my work with the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council, my time is spent thinking about horror (fiction & otherwise), as well as history and representation. I have committed myself to exploring the myriad topics, voices, and dismal reaches that are the lifeblood of Speculative/Weird/Horror fiction. This includes not only deep dives into the works of Lovecraft, but also a survey of the vast array of contemporary authors who continue to stare out into the dark to bring back stories of illimitable void.

As a skeptic of the supposed technological revolution, I am nonetheless fascinated by the problems posed by innovation, both social and technological.
