PLEASE NOTE: I'm rarely active here anymore, but please feel free to follow me on Goodreads, where I post regularly.

 

These are the chronicles of a book addict, a photo junkie, and an aspiring author, rewriting the very fabric of reality one page (and one snapshot) at a time. From the strange to the unusual; the abandoned to the abnormal; the haunted to the historic; the supernatural to the surreal; the forests of dark fantasy, the cemeteries of gothic horror, and the post-apocalyptic ruins of science fiction are the landscapes of my imagination.

Andy Remic on Unashamedly Edgy Fantasy (GUEST POST & GIVEAWAY)

Has there been a shift towards an edgier, sexier, more violent side of fantasy?

 

My fantasy novels are unashamedly edgy, often containing anti-heroes or downright villains as “heroes”. These characters are dangerous, realistic, violent, extremely violent, they often swear and fight and have copious amounts of sex. There are monsters who eat through spines, bite off heads, and are exterminated in bloody showers of bone, gristle and brain slop . . .
