Nate D. Burleigh is a #speculativefiction #shorthorrorstory #horror #SciFi #youngadult #vampire #fantasy #shockhorror and #splatterpunk  author who currently resides in Vancouver, WA, with his wife. In the thralls of night, his doppelganger tears its way free from Nate's flesh. It feverishly types away into the wee hours of the morning weaving intricate tales of terror. 

Splatterpunk was a movement within horror fiction in the 1980's, distinguished by its graphic, often gory, depiction of violence and "hyperintensive horror with no limits. The term was coined in 1986 by David J. Schow at the Twelfth World Fantasy Convention in Providence, Rhode Island.
