About

Fiction that is dark in nature. This leaves things pretty open as far as subject matter. Some of the tried and true horrors (zombies, werewolves, vampires) will be a tough sale, but I’ll take a look as long as it shows me something new. I like stories with time-twists (like Donnie Darko and The Butterfly Effect). Futuristic Science Fiction. Ghosts. I don’t care for serial killers unless you can make them as cool as, say, Otis Driftwood and Captain Spaulding. I have no problem with graphic violence or gore or sexual situations, but they must be an essential part of the story, not added for the sake of shock value. I enjoy different time settings (especially past) and locales. I also like alt-history stories. If you have something you believe is unusual, try me.
