The name’s Charles Coffman and I write horror fiction.

I’ve been at this for a while, ever since my beautiful wife convinced me I had the stones for it, and I thank God I met her cause’ otherwise I’d be one of those guys who think about writing more than they actually do any writing.

     One of my stories has been published and you can read that for free here--- http://acidicfiction.com/2015/04/03/. It’s a little whacked-out horror tale called “Tongue of the Unloved”.

My goal is to put at least two stories on here a month, depending on what I’m working on at the time.

Before you dive into the stories and since I’m such a nice guy and all, I’ll give you a fair warning on the kind of content I pound out---it can be some pretty extreme stuff--- I grew up watching flicks like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes so naturally I developed a taste for horror with teeth. As for other inspirations, I’m a huge fan of Ketchum, Lansdale, and Barker, and tend to get as messy and grimy as they get.

Of course I believe suspense and tension have their place, and there will be a few stories I put on here that will be more restrained than others. As for the rest, you’ll probably need Kevlar gloves or something and maybe a raincoat while you’re reading them because my stuff has a pretty nasty bite and tends to shoot the odd arterial spray or two.

Hope you enjoy…
