edit data

D. Thourson Palmer sheared sheep in rural Ohio, studied in the Appalachian foothills, taught in Japan wherever a train could take him, and got lost in the Central Valley of California. In his past he’s been a forensic chemist, blood research scientist, English teacher, and competitive judoka.

His forthcoming novel, Rust River Gothic, is emblematic of his work; a dreamlike, sometimes unsettling waterway leading from our world to another—more vibrant, more peculiar, and more dangerous. He also writes emotional and freaky epic fantasy that veers occasionally into horror. He is the author of Ours Is the Storm and the epic fantasy web series “RAZE.”

He lives in Columbus, Ohio.

The End For Now

Raze began as an experiment to write an ongoing, long-form story with minimal editing. It was an exercise in expressing a few thoughts and feelings I’ve carried with me for a long time, thinking about some of the things, the good and horror, that persist in the world and about which we read every day in the news, as we scroll past with our thumbs, as we struggle to take in all that’s happening and
