Marcus Hawke is a writer primarily of horror and dark fiction, some fantasy and sci-fi, and a few things that defy categorization. He was born in Toronto, moved around quite a bit during the dreaded formative years, and finally settled in Calgary where he studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design.

Many moons before that, he had aspirations of becoming a filmmaker and......well......a long story short, that didn't happen. But one thing that wasn't curtailed in that time was his love for stories and the written word. Starting with the likes of R.L. Stein in childhood, it grew into a full-fledged possession thanks to the works of Stephen King, Anne Rice, Ray Bradbury, and JRR Tolkien.

After years worth of rejections, he finally had a sh

What The Miracle Sin Means To Me

To explain what The Miracle Sin means to me, I’d have to take on a trip down memory lane. It’s a bit of a rough neighborhood, so bear with me.

*slight spoilers*​

The story itself has existed in some form or another all the way back in high school. Though then it looked very different, the title was different and changed a number of times, and the characters and their names weren’t the same. Sort of Read more of this blog post »

I think one of the greatest things one can hope to find in horror is a fun one. That’s exactly what The Cult of Choiche is! Fans of Silent Hill, Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead, and will get one hell of a kick out of it. Can’t recommend enough.

Quotes by Marcus Hawke  (?)

“Do you think me evil? Even with his shallow pulse thundering in his ears, the serpentine tickle of the words sickened him.
"Yes," Abbott said weakly.
The creature smiled. "Good.”
Marcus Hawke, The Miracle Sin

“What a fickle thing time was. Ignore it and it speeds up. Pay attention and it lingers. When you want more, there isn’t any, and when you want to be rid of it, there’s no escape. Like a flighty lover, time is both loving and cruel.”
Marcus Hawke, The Miracle Sin

“We make our entertainment that way because it’s already in us, not the other way around.”
Marcus Hawke, Grey Noise

“A witty saying proves nothing.”
Voltaire

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“The rose draws our eye and the thorn our blood.”
David Angsten, Dark Gold

“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless...”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

“Total paranoia is just total awareness.”
Charles Manson
