I'd like to say the music flows along my neural pathways and sparks that inspiration into life. It feels more like the music does something inside my heart, though, and in turn, my heart pumps inspiration juice to my brain and that kick-starts the writing process. (less)

Influence

‘Stories ought to leave the reader with a great sense of strangeness and mystery, but never a feeling of frustration.’
Raymond Carver

As a writer, many different things influence me. When I talk about influence, I mean the things that affect or inspire my writing. Those things that shape how and what I write. Music and alcohol affect the way I write the most. I never edit my work when I am under t Read more of this blog post »

Orchard of Skeletons by Eli Wilde
"4.999⭐️
The only reason it’s not a five star is because it wasn’t longer and/or it didn’t have a short epilogue. I could’ve continued to read these characters’ stories for another 1000 pages. I thought each character was unique, the story was unique a" Read more of this review »

Orchard of Skeletons by Eli Wilde
"Wish you could do 3,5 stars on here. Cool story really well written. Ending felt forced as if the author wanted to continue a theme of a world with no happy endings. A lot of opportunities to have it end better or even darker but the journey was real" Read more of this review »

Doppelgängers by Michael F Simpson
“Your emotions. Vile things. A Pigsgift — produce from a blasphemous deity of defiance. We were meant to be hollow things. But do not worry. One day this decadence, this evil, shall be taken away from you, a final act by higher powers. Servants to the Flesh. And on this day, you shall be free from your inhibitions.”
Michael F Simpson

Doppelgängers by Michael F Simpson
“The PATIENT stops crying. Not because his grief has waned. Rather, the discomfort has so drained his ability to do anything but shiver in his chair, subject to PROFESSOR CHILBLAIN’s ways.”
Michael F Simpson
Eli Wilde and 1 other person liked Jensen McCorkel's review of Doppelgängers:
Doppelgängers by Michael F Simpson
"A haunting, thought-provoking blend of post-apocalyptic science fiction and existential horror that explores identity, humanity, and the cost of survival across fractured realities.

Set in a post-human world inherited by doppelgängers, Doppelgängers " Read more of this review »

“Maybe the flies knew we were leaving. Maybe they were happy for us.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

“I saw something sticking out of Sloan’s leg after he fell. I didn’t know what it was and didn’t want to ask. Maybe I thought we were the same inside as we are on the outside, a bit like a carrot or something like that.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

“I picked up a fallen branch and struck a tree with it. Apples fell from the tree. The rope around one of the skeletons gave way and it fell to the ground. It lay there, crumpled and bent in ridiculous angles. I wondered if the person who the skeleton used to live inside would be embarrassed if he or she could see themselves now. I looked around the area but didn’t see any ghosts. Why would I see a ghost? They didn’t exist. Still, I looked a second time.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons
