So, here I am, on my maiden voyage with nary an albatross in sight and still trying to get the hang of WordPress. Plus, Emma knows I work for peanuts (no, really… she pays me in eight ounce tins of honey roasted Planters), and love to run my yapper about cool, spooky shit. What I do possess is an intense passion for dark fiction, from the inside out, which puts me in a position to read, observe, write, and participate in various aspects and constructs of horror, dark fantasy, apocalyptic, Noir, sci-fi, and Lovecraftian fiction. I don’t claim to be an expert when it comes to the Weird, I’m certainly not as well read as your average convention attendee (or horror blog reader), and my bibliography doesn’t stretch much past the end of my beakish schnoz. By invite of tHHHB mothership captain Emma Audsley – who was kind enough to offer up this specially carved out niche of ether – I’ll be sharing with you the latest news, happenings, releases, and general thoughts on the speculative fiction whirlieverse. I also run my own bloggy juke joint The Cosmicomicon, which has lately been glaring at me like a puppy waiting anxiously by the door on a late Saturday morn.
Grau, writer of Weird fiction, editor of Strange Aeons Magazine, and essayist for The Teeming Brain, We Love Monsters, and the Esoteric Order of Dagon Amateur Press Association, amongst other non-fiction sources that choose to claim my pontifications. Warm greetings and a hearty hello, good – and even bad – readers of The Horrifically Horrifying Horror Blog.
