WHAT ARE GORELETS?
Read the introduction to my book, The Gorelets Omnibus (.pdf), to answer that question and to learn more about the history behind this weird wild website.
IN A NUTSHELL:
I’m author Michael Arnzen. And gorelets.com is my creative playground for all things related to horror and the uncanny. It has been for decades. Perhaps you’ve seen the book, The Gorelets Omnibus, which collects the best poems and stories that first appeared here? Maybe you subscribed to my newsletter, The Goreletter, and came back wondering what’s happened (in brief: I took a 4 year hiatus due mostly to security issues… but it’s baaaack so please resubscribe!). Or perhaps you clicked on some strange tweet or story or bio page and wondered where to get more crazy Arnzen stuff. Could be you’re just searching for little bits of gore, and landed in this online puddle of it by accident. All of you are welcome. And the site is rebuilding, so you’ll find even more here in due time.
If you’re looking for ways to find me on social media, I’m mostly only active right now on twitter at @MikeArnzen. And I regularly post photos to instagram @mikearnzen too.
About Michael Arnzen:
I’ve been a writer, mostly working in the horror genre, since the late 1980s. I hold four Bram Stoker Awards and an International Horror Guild Award for my fiction, poetry and literary experiments. I have been teaching full time as a Professor of English in the MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University since 1999, which is around the time when gorelets.com first appeared online.
I continue to explore the strange corners where dark shadows continue to splay into new shapes of fear.
Please check out my many books and other publications. Buy a book, take a class, follow my media, subscribe to my newsletter or send me a kind message. Your support of my weird work has kept me cranking out the crazy for decades, and it instigates me to continue bringing my weirdness into your world.
