About Me

I am a writer of Epic Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, and Horror… I’m currently working on turning decades of gaming into novels.

Biography 

Kurt M Criscione is a New Englander born and bred. His mother was born on Friday the 13th and his father on Halloween, while he was born on Thursday the 12th.

Disappointing, I know.

Raised on a steady diet of Fantasy and Horror media, and having defied death a few times himself, he discovered a love of storytelling. First as a way to amuse himself and entertain friends, and later to run table-top RPGs.

He quickly realized that this was what he was meant to do. He hammered away at various antique typewriters throughout his teens. Building worlds for his stories and for his gaming friends.

While life and various professional pursuits did intrude on his writing, he has never given up the love of World-building and Storytelling. Now armed with a Master’s Degree and a job he loves, he’s focusing his time on bringing his world to life.

In his day job he runs a Comic Shop owned by his best friend, and first gamer at his table. He argues stories with comic book nerds (said with affection) and debates games/rules systems everyday. He’s still playing D&D (and other games) every week, on multiple nights.

Welcome to the site. Here you’ll find world building advice, gaming stories, story-telling advice, reviews/ essays, and occasionally historical pieces and food/travel logs.

Member of the New England Horror Writers (NEHW), ex-member of HWA, Member of National Society of Leaders (Sigma Alpha Pi), member of the International English Honor Society (Sigma Tau Delta-Alpha Phi Beta).

He graduated in May 2019 with his Bachelors, Summa Cum Laude, and in April 2021 earned his Master’s.

Welcome again, to my world and my writing.
