Hello, darkness seekers! My name is Charles Vance Gurley, and welcome to my world of Poetry/Prose/Short Stories. I'm 38 years old and have been writing seriously for over 20 years. I have 25 collections here as of Jan 2022. I enjoy dark/abstract themes, write in a angst style influenced by music I listen to. Heavily inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, many other famous and obscure authors. If you care to worm your way more into my world, I have links below that you can crawl into. You'll find my artistic haven. If you want to know about my writing styles, you will find almost 1000+ works through 10+ years of life there. Also a FB page that is 100% me. My newest Project, Dauphin Island is OUT NOW! The Depression Session [X] Anthology is coming in 2022. As always, thank you for visiting and reading!
