I'm Nice In Person...Really...

Evening!

Well, really, it's late afternoon at the moment. But I'm a horror writer. To me, it's always dark somewhere.

To date, I've only written short horror fiction, but I'm toying with the idea of doing a horror novel. It's daunting when you know you'll be up against the masters like Dean Koontz and Stephen King. But, I'm willing to work hard and give it a try.

However, right now, short stories are where it's at for me. My first paid horror sale was to Arkham Tales. As soon as I know a release date, my blog and blog readers (hi, Mom!) will be the first to know.

Like all horror writers, I do feel the need to protest that I'm charming and pleasant in person, a good person to have at a party, and not at all weird and creepy like my stories. My spouse says this is up for interpretation.

So, welcome to my author's blog. I hope to scare you and make you think along the way...but if all I do is entertain you, then my work is done.

Watching you from under your bed,
J.C. Koch
