About Me

Two books comprising around 400 pages of ultra-quality spine-shivers and perversity, each available, lovingly hand-crafted for the meagre donation towards postage and raw materials. Please ontact me for contents info and to request a copy of either book. Alternatively, visit: http://uk.geocities.com/unklejoz/The_Dark_Alternative.html to download a few highlights AND the first few chapters of my new novel, "Spinner Ate"
Horror Pictures at satanspace.comMuch too modest to say... I'm sociable and knowledgable and pretty damn cool (if I say so myself). I have 6 eight-legged, furry, fanged friends (Ligeia, Ramirez, Rubric, Lenora, Kali & Korgull), 2 gorgeous German Shepherds (Ginger and Varg) and too many books (as if you could have too many) for sane(?) company, alongside all the strange people who chatter to each other inside my head (and the real ones who don't live there). I am also a walking harbinger of tragedy, so be warned! I want to be a novelist before I grow up and try to expend as much time as possible banging down filth and depravity on paper in the hope that I'll be able to spread fear and repulsion for a living sooner rather than never. Good job I plan on being immortal really, innit? Hopefully that means I'll be around long enough for life to stop intentionally disappointing and frustrating me for it's own sadistic amusement...

I am Elmo, apparently. And there I was expecting to come out as Mr Snoffalopogus (I've got the eyelashes for it...)
You Are Elmo
Sweet and innocent, you expect everyone to adore you. And they usually do!
You are usually feeling: Talkative. You've got tons of stories to tell. And when you aren't talking, you're laughing.
You are famous for: Being popular, though no one knows why. Middle aged women especially like you.
How you life your life: With an open heart. "Elmo loves you!" The Sesame Street Personality Quiz
You scored as You are a Vampiric Elf!. Congratulations my friend! You are a Vampyric Elf. Your kind are few and far between! Your hobbies include drinking the blood of innocent victims or just draining it and mixing it with herbs and spices. You were once one of the noblest of white magic creatures but you turned against those who you loved, most likely because of lost love, and turn yourself into their greatest fear to punish them all!

created with QuizFarm.com My score on The World of Darkness Personality Test :
Neonate Vampire
(Yeah, that sounds just about right.)
You're going to live forever!That is, if you make it through the upcoming years, which are going to be rough, tough - and full of delicious blood. You're a neonate vampire, freshly embraced and ready to take on the world. You like your new, more powerful self and look forward to the exciting times ahead. You also have the edge over the older vampires - after all, you don't think computers are the tools of the devil. You're brash, powerful, and stand out in a crowd.Or maybe you're just depressed. Vampires can be so ~very~ angsty. Try not to let your existence wear you out, or you might end up taking a sunbath and ending it all. The futility of unlife as a vampire doesn't help the mood. Some vampies are sad indeed.

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability.
You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea.
