About the Author
Joshua Thaddeus
Writ • er | ˈrīdər | noun
creator of worlds that destroy time
Joshua Thaddeus is a writer of gothic fiction and poetry in New Orleans. Joshua’s parents, a schoolteacher and film projectionist, raised him to listen to the stories of others, so that he might better understand his own. Finding common ground in different voices persuaded Joshua to share his words with others through writing.
“We're all conflicted about something we'd rather not show the world. And that’s what writing is about for me; revealing the things we hide, even from ourselves.”
Running around a cemetery near his childhood home inspired a penchant for the macabre that Joshua so often inflicts upon his readers. Language, setting, and tone lead the narrative to create an unsettling atmosphere—leaving the reader with a lasting echo—haunting them long after the story ends. Through storytelling, Joshua reflects on human nature, exploring the monsters inside of us.
