James F. Reilly - Writer and Bathtub Adventurer

About Me

I'm a writer, graphic artist, and musician who has way too much spare time on his hands. I also run a website focusing on horror movies and genre cinema called HORRORVIEW.COM , and, if you don't visit it, you're truly missing out as it has been called the greatest website ever made by many of my elderly relatives who have no access to computers.I'm also a rabid Baseball fan who is completely obsessed with the Boston Red Sox (after all, Boston, you're my home...or within 50 miles of me, anyway) and have spent the better part of my life watching my beloved team lose year after year after year (until 2004). Of course, as a Red Sox fan, this is simply par for the course, and we are guaranteed endless world series victories in the after-life.My fiction is of the gross-out horror variety, and, if you like such things, it's been published in quality 'zines like Apex Digest, City Slab, Horror Garage, Ethereal Gazette, as well as the anthologies UNDEAD, READ BY DAWN, and the upcoming VERMIN.That's me in a nutshell, albeit it an oversized one for, say, a Brazillian nut.Cheers!
