Hi, I'm Tony. On the outside, I am a long haired, kid, just searching for a purpose. On the inside, my mind is a twisted, sinister place, where the darkest corners swallow all that is good into oblivion. I spew out the inner depths of my mind onto paper, and through this channel, I weave tales of utter terror.

In our existence, it manifests itself in many forms, in many ways, in many places. It is everywhere; in our countries, in our towns, in our neighborhoods, on our doorsteps. It lurks, hidden among us; it exists in plain sight. There is no avoiding it, for everyone encounters the darkness at least once, in at least one form. The darkness comes from anywhere, and comes at any time. It can twist reality, and it can twist our minds. It can distort our perception to a point of insanity, to a point of no return, to the point of death.
