I am a southern gothic horror writer. All of my stories take place in the south (where I'm from) and deal with themes of family, death, and human nature.

Some of my inspirations include Cormac McCarthy, Tennessee Williams, and William Faulkner.

Horror is not restricted to a genre of gore, but instead conveys human nature in a way that is raw and ugly. It is in that element that we may truly understand the beauty of the human experience.
