Nicholas Alan Tillemans is a humorist and writer of extreme adult horror fiction. His provocative short horror stories have appeared online and in two print anthologies. His first published novella Hard Ball is a dark comedy with a large cast of crazed characters wading through an absurdist landscape where life is cheap. It stands in contrast with his horror stories, where the horror is more graphic and the humor less obvious. Returning from hiatus, he recently released Acetone Enema: A Morbid Collection of Short Stories & Poetry to keep some previously published short stories in circulation. He added two previously unreleased stories to the collection, one written in collaboration with UK surrealist author Mike Philbin. For over a decade he has worked on his first long novel The Torture of Girth, which is now available for purchase in print from Lulu.com and as an ebook from Amazon.com.
