I am a horror/dark fiction author with an eye towards filmmaking. While I am fairly new to the public eye, I am not new to writing and have several projects that I am currently reworking. I would describe my preferred genre essentially as dark fiction, which includes fantasy and science fiction, as well as horror. I rarely write typical slasher stories, because there are so many of them, but also because I don't generally find a big thrill in those types of stories. A man can be defeated; he can be arrested or killed. I find antagonists of the supernatural realm (spirits, demons, aliens, etc.) to be far more exciting for the simple fact that defeating such a foe may seem impossible to the protagonist and will undoubtedly require all of the strengths each human being carries within his/her soul. Those that enjoy my writing enough to continue reading my work (& I hope there will be many!) will find that my protagonists come from widely different pasts, including LGBT communities, varying ethnicities, and those with physical impairments. This is not a conscious decision on my part to make some sort of social commentary, although I do believe literature and film should better represent people from all walks of life. These characters, like each of us, simply are who they are and it's their abilities (and sometimes their shortcomings) that make them the hero/heroine.
I'm grateful to all of my followers and readers; I make every effort to respond to each message or comment I receive. I'm hoping to begin attending events in the near future, such as horror and sci-fi conventions, where I will be able to meet many of you!
I am always open to interviews, appearances, etc, so please feel free to contact me with any serious proposals or inquiries. Thank you for your time, consideration, and support!
Warmest Regards,
Edward V'Kanty
