Hi All,
My name is CJ Hooper. I have a long interest in history, archaeology, and mythology. I am also a stand up comedian, and now, more recently, I have started completing many of the short stories I had only previously begun or thought about.
My favourite stories are folk horror, though I'm very keen on cosmic horror too. Fir instance my favourite horror book is The Lurker at the Threshold, by Lovecraft and Derleth. I'm also a big fan of Ramsey Campbell and Adam Nevill.
I cam here seeking a way of getting my tales out there before putting them all together in a collection. Dark Descent has also been a really good source of inspiration and prompting.
