Robyn Cage: An Exceptional Talent

Posted on August 18, 2019 by

Horror Writing and Metal Music – Similar Process

Posted on July 10, 2019 by

I know. My pic makes me look like a priest, but I am a rocker through and through. I also write professional horror stories, and the mechanics of forming a metal band and writing a horror novel are eerily similar. … Continue reading →
