Born in Southern Illinois, Joseph was raised in a very liberal home environment and was exposed at an early age to the classic underground comic book scene of the sixties and seventies, as well as European graphic novels by artists like Moebius, Enki Bilal and Milo Manara. At age 9, he was reading Tolkien and Stephen King. He wrote his first novella at age 10. If you want to read the same old formulaic pop lit, don't bother with Joseph's fiction. The novels of Joseph Duncan are challenging, subversive and fantastical, merging genres and pushing the boundaries of propriety and good taste. If you have an aversion to dark subject matter, gratuitous sex and extreme violence, stay far away from Joseph's books. Far. Far. Away!

Quotes by Joseph Duncan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“And what was the truth? Simply enough: that the world in which we are born, the world in which we spend our every waking hour… that world is an illusion. It is a beautiful fantasy, a bright and shining madness, full of pleasure and pain, appetite and satiation. There is love and hate, the seasons and the heavens and all manner of colorful baubles whose only purpose is to distract from the reality that lies beyond. All of it trickery, and reality waiting just a hair’s breadth away, crouched like a starving predator, ready to devour any hand that might come plunging through.”
Joseph Duncan, House of Dead Trees

“In a culture that worshipped its ancestors, to die without offspring was next of kin to damnation.”
Joseph Duncan, The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded

“No child is ever loved as they are loved by the ones who gave them life.”
Joseph Duncan, The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded
