Speegle has been crossing genres since way before it was in vogue. He’s a master of evoking exotic places and complex feelings so readers can expect many mind-bending journeys from this latest collection.
“Speegle found his bearings in short order and for the past dozen years he’s steadily compiled a catalogue of fiction that overlaps the boundaries of horror, occult, and psychosexually-charged mystery. His writing is imbued with dark wisdom, perhaps borne of cynicism, and if not cynicism, definitely hard-knocks experience. He uses weird fiction as a lens to examine our eternal preoccupation with the strange territory of humanity’s inner life, which is but a microcosm of the strange territory of the greater universe. He sharpens that focus with brilliant intensity upon the subcategories of betrayal, fraught romance, and sudden, inevitable death. His specialty is a naturalist’s eye for a certain subspecies of expat. The doomed kind.”
Darren Speegle is the author of five short story collections, the latest of which, A Haunting in Germany and Other Stories, is out now from PS Publishing. His horror novel The Third Twin is due in April from Crystal Lake Publishing. Auroram, a science fiction short novel, is coming in 2017 as well. His short fiction has appeared in numerous venues, including Subterranean, Postscripts, Crimewave, Clarkesworld, The Third Alternative (now Black Static), Fantasy, Cemetery Dance, and Subterranean: Tales of Dark Fantasy. He has recently become interested in editing, and his human-evolution-themed anthology Adam’s Ladder has been picked up by Dark Regions/Written Backwards for a mid 2017 release. A widely traveled American, Darren often sets his stories in interesting or exotic places where he has lived (Germany, Alaska, Southeast Asia) or otherwise explored (broader Europe). Between gigs as a federal contractor in the Middle East, Darren resides in Thailand, where he is touching up his cross-genre novel The World Is My Oyster.
