 lucretius's Biography
Gender:Male
About Me:I'm a first-year Physics graduate student who's been a comic book geek since I was 12, an internet philosopher since 18, and a wannabe media inventor since five minutes in the future. I love the beauty of short form fiction a la Maupassant, the ticklish excitement of flowery prose a la Bradbury, and the strict directness of blunt imagery a la Hemingway. I'd like to think I have a natural talent for words, but I think that's for my readers to decide.
Type of Writer:I write science fiction, horror, and literary, mostly in flash format, although I'm about to start my Suicide Sally novel.
Writing Style:In my dreams, an exotic misture of Ray Bradbury, Junot Diaz, and Ernest Hemingway, with a lot of Guy de Maupassant thrown in.
Interests:I love comics, science, tech, bad black-and-white sci-fi from the 50s, bad Benetar-esque pop music from the 80s, and Bridezillas and the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I'm such a weird dude...
Favorite Authors:Bradbury, de Maupassant, Poe, Jhumpa Lahiri, Grant Morrison, Stephen King, and too many more to name
