edit data

Adopted from Saint Petersburg, Russia, William Becker was raised in the Appalachian Mountains. He’s been writing moody, uncomfortable fiction since he was twelve years old. First as a horror author obsessed with surrealism and allegories, he has developed into an avid proponent of unconventional narrative voices, ergodic storytelling, and experimental typography blended into an accessible package, as is the case with A MAN BORN BLIND and WHEN BAD DOGS DO GOOD THINGS.

At this stage in my reading career, it’s hard to really impress me and leave me with a really long, lasting impression. That’s not to say I’m a cynic, which takes too much energy, but instead, I try to find the good in every piece of art I engage wit ...more

William Becker liked Dizzy V. Morgraves's review of New York Onions: "New York Onions is a slow, unsettling portrait of isolation and decline. The story relies on repetition and routine, creating a sense of unease that builds quietly rather than through shock. Each familiar action begins to feel heavier, stranger, and " Read more of this review »

Emptiness. That’s what blares at us from our TV screens, from our phones, from our AI driven thought bubbles, from our lack of coping. We’re arrogant and over indulgent. We have too much and we take too much. We’re selfish and self indulgent. That’s t ...more

Easy to get lost in. I think there’s a lot of plot in that they’re wandering around, yet if you asked me for a play by play of what happened it would be hard to say. I think it’s very entertaining to read but also disheartening and depressing. There’ ...more
