Made-up worlds are far better than our real one.

You might find yourself reading one of my stories and thinking to yourself: "wow. What kind of illegal substance was he taking?"

That's really my goal. I try to write outside the boundaries of what I probably should be writing. Many would describe me as a bit of an eccentric person.

Yes.

I typically write complex sci-fi/fantasy horror with elements of human psychology. Ever since I watched Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

I try to involve an orange cat in any and all scenarios.

Work on thinking about it, running it multiple ways, almost like a film scene; eventually, I find it just comes to you. If not, try to discuss it with someone. That is the best way to find a quick solution, to get inspired, or to hear feedback on ideas you are thinking of. (less)

If you want to write a book and you have an idea, then write the book. You will never accomplish anything by pondering endlessly. Your first drafts are going to be terrible, you will hate every word that you write, but if you continue, you will eventually reach the end, and you will be a different person entirely. (less)

Um....

Definitely the most disturbing book I've personally ever read. Stokoe really must have collected every kind of situation, description, or action that is disturbing to a human being--all flavors. Rape, murder, bestiality, abortion, self-harm, um

Tony Degan shared a quote
In River Cardinal by Tony Del Degan
“The meat was pulsating. Grunting–from pigs. The corpses shifted, then rolled off onto the floor. Trotters clicked on the vinyl. They smelled him. Death-clouded eyes found the intruder. Snouts split in two, baring angry, red flesh. Human eyeballs rolled left and right within two slits in the redness. The closest pig dropped to its stomach. Snap! Fingers. A hand pulled itself out of the pink rip. Another. A pause, then bumps formed in the back. The tips of fifty-caliber bullets poked free–spines from neck to tail. The hands helped the animal feet–made the creature faster, but awkwardly.”
