About the Author

Hello there,

​

My name is Danon, and it is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for coming to my humble website! I am an aspiring author who hopes to someday publish my fictional stories. Most of my work explores dark themes, some horror, and a touch of the supernatural. All of them written after dark, when there is the absence of light.

​

I find as the world grows quiet after the sun sets that my mind in turn becomes a bit quieter, more sharp as the monotony of the every day fades away and I can drop the mask. The dark allows my imagination to roam wild and untethered. I was always a maladaptive daydreamer, even as a child, and was prone to vivid, often intense and at times frightening, dreams during sleep which is where many of my stories have come from. I also find myself heavily influenced by music and art, I've been told by friends that I can create entire worlds just from a song or picture. For a long time those worlds remained mostly just that, in my head-thanks in general to life and a laundry list of health issues that struck in my late teens. It wasn't until the recent passing of my beloved dog that I finally decided to put these words to paper, to breathe life into these worlds I created in my head when all I felt at the time was the absence of any. It may sound silly, but this dog was my lifeline, my entire being was dedicated to him yet he was gone in a flash. A traumatic, life altering moment later and just like that he was no longer in my life. My world felt suddenly empty, caused by the void of his absence. I used my writing as a coping mechanism, to sooth my broken heart and to protect my mind from the devastation that was left behind. There have been many times where I have thought about giving up, wondered who would even care about these stories let alone read them. Then I remembered that there are others out there, also living in the absence of light, perhaps they can find some comfort, or at least entertainment, from these tales I have concocted.

​

All in all, these stories saved my life and I hope by sharing them with the world that maybe I can save someone else. Or at the very least leave behind something to remember me and my sweet boy by.

​

I would say sorry for the trauma dumping, however trauma runs through our veins here in the darkness. In the absence of light we are all just broken creatures trying to survive this crazy world. Do you think you have the stomach for it?
