Hertzan Chimera died on the 14th of August 2004 after fourteen years typing like a madman. He will be remembered (one hopes) for his extreme short stories and subversive books that tried to break away from rational thought and tedious 3-act structure, works that tore down the barriers of taste and exploded the fixed genres writers find themselves having to cater to. Includes exclusive H.C.interviews with Jack Ketchum, Tom Piccirilli, Edward Lee, Charlee Jacob and others.

O'Rourke, polycarp kusch, Destiny West and DF Lewis. Step into the parlor of Hertzan Chimera and enjoy... More > the most unique, entertaining interviews you will ever read.
