Uilleam Whitedale

Although he spent his formative years moving around the US, Uilleam Whitedale grew up primarily in El Paso, TX and resided there for over 30 years, steeping him in the local culture. A former skateboarder, Whitedale got involved in the punk rock/alternative music scene early in high school and was friends with and in bands with later members of At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta. While his musical tastes vary, he is a big fan of rockabilly, which almost serves as a metaphor for his overall style. A diehard horror and dystopian movie fan, he also dabbled in real effects and film for a short time. Whitedale's background in horror, combined with his degrees in philosophy and political science, heavily inform his world view and writing. In 2014, he relocated to northern New Jersey, where he had spent many of his formative years. He still laments the lack of authentic Mexican food. Whitedale's works are largely cross genre and tend to be speculative, but are, generally, grounded in psychological horror and dystopian themes.

The Haunting of Sheila Lee

Praise

"The Haunting of Sheila Lee is a masterfully told tragedy about a woman wrapped in a web of lies and deceit. A truly fresh take on classic haunting/horror tropes that will leave modern horror connoisseurs guessing until the very last page."

– Josh McGann

"This one kept me wondering what was really going on with the MC. When I thought I had it figured out… I didn’t. I thought it was a great take on a possession story." (The Haunting of Sheila Lee)

Fay's voice is reminiscent of classical literature and, even when telling a dark tale in prose, conjures a mystique of the poetic, which is fitting since he's also a poet. This gives his stories a fantasy feel. As I was reading, the style struck me as a cross between Robert Louis Stevenson, Poe, and W.W. Jacobs. "The Redcap of Glamtallon" is chalk full of descriptions that showcase Fay's knowledge of...

My Reviews: The Whisper that Replaced God Part II: Silent Almighty

Just when you thought that one chosen by the Silent Almighty was intense, and odd, enough, here comes another, who is a "true believer." Packed with philosophical inner dialogue and sardonic insights, this continuation picks up right where the last left off without a hitch, adding the dilemma of cultists to the endless ambivalence of Lord Mute. Though clearly fiction, and borderline farcical, there is much threaded throughout the story that simply rings...

My Reviews: The Whisper That Replaced God by Timothy Wolff

I had initially thought that this story might be some manner of reiteration of The Man in the Iron Mask, but I found myself immediately engrossed and read the entire story in two hours. This is precisely the kind of lit fic that makes reading enjoyable. The prose are intense yet whimsical, and they flow unimpeded. Prince Mute is the perfect antihero, lost in his confident doubt, while the other characters are utterly human in their pretense-inspired...
