E. R. Torre is a writer/artist whose first major work, the mystery graphic novel The Dark Fringe, was optioned for motion picture production by Platinum Studios (Men In Black, Cowboys and Aliens). At DC Comics, his work appeared in role-playing game books and the 9-11 Tribute book. This later piece was eventually displayed, along with others from the tribute books, at The Library of Congress. More recently he released Shadows at Dawn (a collection of short stories), Haze (a murder mystery novel with supernatural elements), and Cold Hemispheres (a mystery novel set in the world of The Dark Fringe).

Those vile, terrifying creatures could gnaw through concrete and metal just as easily as human flesh.(less)
E.R. Torre This is a very difficult question to answer. Usually, the fictional "worlds" I tend to read about are dystopian to one degree or another. For example,…moreThis is a very difficult question to answer. Usually, the fictional "worlds" I tend to read about are dystopian to one degree or another. For example, I find William Gibson's sci-fi worlds (especially that in the steampunk Difference Engine) fascinating... but I don't think I'd want to live there!

Perhaps the "best" fictional world/universe I can think of is that presented in the original Star Trek series (I know, we're talking TV show but plenty of books and stories have been written in and around it). It presents such an "optimistic" view of where humanity goes that it is encouraging. Then again, there is still plenty of death and destruction so...

Another very appealing fictional book world is that presented in the pulp novels of Doc Savage. While ostensibly set in the then "present" of the 1930's-very early 50's, it was a fantastic presentation of such a world and, though filled with intrigue and the possibility of gruesome death(s), its an exciting alternate world view of that epoch, when the future and future technology was viewed as fascinating and potentially revolutionary... except when in the wrong hands! ;-)

So in sum, two worlds appeal to me, the futuristic Star Trek (original series) universe and the pulp fictional 1930's-very early 50's.(less)

Been a while…

…and I’m sorry about that.

Things have been busy in a very good way and things that have been in the works for a while are about to bear fruit and appear.

If you like the stuff I do, I suspect you’ll like what’s coming soon.

In the meantime and if you’re a U.S. citizen: Vote!

Today is it and the future truly depends on this!
