Why “Joker” is so Important Right Now

Posted on November 4, 2019 by maronovitz2015

Publications and Such

Posted on October 14, 2019 by maronovitz2015

Why do you write horror? Why do you like metal? Why do you drive a Mustang? Why do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Because I see the cloud differently. Because I’ll never give up my love for a … Continue reading →

Horror Writing and Metal Music – Similar Process

Posted on July 10, 2019 by maronovitz2015

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 →

Social Media Basically Sucks

Posted on July 9, 2019 by maronovitz2015

Review of Jordan Peele’s “Us.”

Posted on July 5, 2019 by maronovitz2015

Posted on August 23, 2015 by maronovitz2015
