Ravis Harnell writes dark stories, and hopes they help show humanity’s most luminous qualities by contrast. If they don’t, however, he’ll settle for entertaining, intriguing, shocking or even offending readers, so long as they’re engaged by the tale. His novella Ghostwriter has been called “horror,” “cinematic,” “not exactly horror,” “darkly comic,” and “horror” again; his plots and characters most often reside where dark fantasy, violence, humor and heart meet awkwardly at unsettling angles. Ravis himself resides in St. Petersburg, Florida with his wife Rebecca and several animals.
