About Me

"I will show you fear" indeed.... I'm a horror writer and filmmaker, genre junkie, film reviewer and often a creative fountain of the creepy and the arcane. Really, there's not much else to be said, other than "Hi, how are you". Currently living "back home", as it were, in Cape Breton, with the love of my life and our bundle of doom (yep, that's the baby.... Sam the Great and Powerful, or Captain Wiggles for short....the final element of our apocalyptic power trio), I'm currently working on several projects at once....including the upcoming novel Nitemaer (see below), as well as other hideously gleeful projects both literary and visual. When not satisfying the raging ghoul inside or scaring the living shit out of complete strangers, I can usually be found running my fledgling new media company, Grim Engine Entertainment, reviewing the occasional horror DVD for the infamous website Arrow In The Head , editing a forthcoming genre fiction magazine aptly titled Redwall, or wiling away the hours doing something that is sure to leave an inky black fungus stain on the world.

Deconstructing the Time Machine and Other Misguided Activities

So, yesterday was, of course, allergy shot day yet again. Not as violent a reaction as last week (plague victim side effects are never endearing), but as long as I can stave off full blown anaph...

This Is The Worst Day Of The Rest Of Your Mind

I've always wondered what it would be like to lose my mind. To go batshit crazy, to flip my loony lid, to slip head first into the starkest and most raving madness. Now wouldn't that be so...
