Diavolo was raised on a religious commune in Humboldt County where the redwoods filtered sunlight in dusty slants. At night, his eyes drifted to spiderwebs in the rafters, where all the terrible secrets lived.

He is the author of the award-winning cosmic horror novel Many Arms Enfold Us, and his work has appeared in Skytown, Perceptions, and The Poet Heroic. His new novel Hypersound is now available in paperback and ebook.

A member of SAG-AFTRA and the Horror Writers Association, he currently resides in Portland, OR.

Diavolo Ray is currently not accepting new questions.

"Dear God, you've locked us in!" he said, and watched in horror as her feet lifted from the floor, and she floated up, up, through the ceiling.(less)

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

The Exorcist (The Exorcist, #1) The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I never realized how faithful the film adhered to the novel. Blatty had a great ear for dialogue, and much of the conversations are intact in the movie. I can see why he won an Oscar for the screenplay. The bonus was a few anecdotal paragraphs of authenticated possessions from history--which made for fun Wikipedia asides.

One of the most ADHD books I’ve read. The language, regardless of which character’s head we’re in, is restless, infused with asides and switchbacks, like thoughts in realtime. Makes it hard to follow the narrative, but there’s plenty of gruesome imag ...more

Some decent chillers for winter reading. Good pedigree of popular horror writers. As with all anthologies, not every story is a winner, but the frosty vibe is present.

Not explicitly horror, but often macabre, these short stories are intriguing, bizarre, and widely varied. Odd juxtapositions in language are, by turns, surreal and sublime. Certain passages read ambiguously, but an eeriness pervades, which springs fr ...more

“They say if you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back. Whatever. Sometimes it's just nice to be looked at.”
