The Horror Geek Speaks: The Bookshelf

Perhaps the highest praise I can give to Chas Balun is that without him, there almost assuredly would have never been a Horror Geek. Between Balun and Joe Bob Briggs (a.k.a. John Bloom), I learned at an early age that it was not only okay to love obscure movies designed to titillate and gross-out an audience, but that I could love them and explain why they were so wonderful without sounding like an idiot in the process. Over the years, the influences on my writing have grown almost exponentially, but it always comes back to one simple fact — without Chas Balun both I and a lot of other guys making a living covering cult cinema wouldn’t have a job.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
