Mikey Maniak is what happens when you hand a working-class wolf a pen and dare him to bleed. Born in the Midwest and forged by late-night drives, heartbreak playlists, and horrorcore mixtapes, Mikey writes like he lives-raw, real, and a little unhinged. He's a father, a fighter, and a lifelong misfit with too many scars and not enough apologies. By day he drives the city streets chasing fares; by night he chases demons-his own and the ones in his stories.

Equal parts storyteller and survivor, Mikey blends grit with heart, turning pain into poetry and trauma into tales that bite. He doesn't believe in happy endings-but he'll fight like hell to earn one anyway. Welcome to the madness.
