I'm a self-taught writer and former freelance comic artist with a passion for character-driven psychological horror. I don't have a formal writing education, but I've spent years honing my craft through storytelling in visual media, and now through prose that focuses on atmosphere, existential themes, and emotional resonance. My background in illustration taught me how to frame scenes with a cinematic eye and a deep sense of mood-skills I now bring to the page. I write stories that explore survival, identity, and dread in worlds touched by the uncanny.
