Nickolaus
A. Pacione
Hailing originally from the same area as J.M. Barlog,
Nickolaus Pacione (b. Aug 3, 1976) became a horror writer
who managed to pack a few punches in his own right.
He appeared on a few websites including The Temple of Dagon,
House of Andromeda, The House of Pain, and Nicholas
Grabowsky's Downwarden with a few of his short stories -- he's
self-published a good body of them on his website. His
influences in the genre are mainly H.P. Lovecraft and Rod
Serling, he steers clear of the erotic angle as a horror
writer. He's been writing since 1991 at the
age of 14, and appeared in the anthologies Reality
Check, New Writers of the Purple Page, and self-published
the controversial horror and Science Fiction anthology titled
Tabloid Purposes. He currently lives in Morris,
Illinois, which he continues to write horror and Science
Fiction. The science fiction influence comes from The
Outer Limits. His work captured the
attention of Terry Lloyd Vinson, Brigit Knox, and Kimberly
Steele (who designed both TABLOID PURPOSES covers.) From September 2004 up to the
folding of the House of Pain, Pacione was the
co-editor of the legendary horror site. Most recently, he has been working on
the just-released Tabloid Purposes II and
the soon-to-be-released anthology Quakes and Storms, sure to be the two wildest and most
controversial publications of 2005. |
