edit data

William Becker is a horror author from Boone, North Carolina. Originally adopted from Saint Petersburg, he began his professional writing career at age fifteen with his first novel, “Weeping of the Caverns.” His work is known for being non-traditional, gritty, and with a slight experimental edge that never sacrifices accessibility. Becker's work encompasses elements of romance, sci-fi, drama, surrealism, and mystery. His Lynchian influence is apparent in his second novel, “Grey Skies,” which was published when he was nineteen, as well as some of his short stories, many of which have been released for free on his website during Covid.

After the publication of Grey Skies in 2019, he became enrolled as a student at the University of North Carol ...more

First and foremost, I am going to be reading "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. I'm extremely excited to dive pretty deeply into that. Once I've finished that, I think I'm going to check out the "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. It seems to be a very interesting take on love and relationships as a whole.

I also recently got "This Book is Full of Spiders" by David Wong, so I imagine I will be reading that and the first book in the series, "John Dies At The End." The first book was a crazy, absurd journey. I did a review for it on goodreads and found it mildly enjoyable.

Finally, I also got a huge H.P. Lovecraft collection from Barnes and Noble that I'm very very excited to read. It looks beautiful and it's over a thousand pages long.

The other books I own but aren't super high priority to me to read are "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt. "Balcony of Fog" by Rich Shapero, "The Rise of The Iron Moon" by Stephen Hunt, a handful of literary journals, and a few Stephen King Books. Hopefully I'll find time for all of them! (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

William Becker Lifestyle changes and entertainment changes. I listen to an album every day at least. I watch tons of movies. I read lots of writing on the internet. …moreLifestyle changes and entertainment changes. I listen to an album every day at least. I watch tons of movies. I read lots of writing on the internet. I never feel very uninspired for long. Taking a break and setting up a different set of inspirations/surroundings helps. Go exercise, stop drinking, stop smoking, and pick up a good book. Add in some good music of a genre you aren't used to and then you'll be cooking in no time.(less)

I honestly found this way more tiring than beautiful and shocking. The random deviations into long-winded rambling segments were boring and distracting to me. I think most people are interested in the first 150 pages- it turns into a really long wind ...more

I can see why this has the best average in the series. An incredible ending. I think a good prequel should serve to tell us events that we know happened in the originals, while fleshing out characters and also providing a set of brackets. This book d ...more
