About this author


Charles Schneider has spent his life exploring the realms of the macabre with a mercurial, and sometimes, comedic twist. His weird horror stories are gaining recognition by connoisseurs and major creators in the horror genre, with the publication of The Mauve Embellishments, a collection of stories and art.

In fact, he was chosen to paint the "death portraits" in the feature film ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL. As a character actor, his face and voice are equally distinct.

He edits books about obscure and forgotten aspects of popular culture, such as Burlesque Paraphernalia, published by Fantagraphics Books.
