About the author
Kneel Downe
15 books9 followersKneel was born in 1967 and raised in the middle of countryside and silence where he immersed himself in books and fantasy.
After trying several writing styles, Kneel began tweeting short fragments of fiction. A meeting with his idol, Jeff Noon, made Kneel realise that these short bursts could make up a whole universe of fiction, and so the VirulentBlurb projects began.
First there was the website VirulentBlurb.com, , introducing the world to the characters and technology of the VirulentBlurb, the Spillane-esque wolf-splice police detective, Kurt Lobo, the enigmatic Amelia and the superhero inmates of the Copper Cascades asylum.
Then VIRULENTBLURB FRACTURES the debut book of those first imagery filled tweets, case files from Kurt Lobo and transcripts from the Cascades.
In a shift of style, and with artistic partner Susan Omand, he produced the mythical, beautiful Amelia's Song.
Many, many more books and other media projects are planned as the strands of the universe overlap and come together in new and unexpected ways. The most recent book VIRULENTBLURB REFLECTIONS documents the time before the sun went out,the rise and fall of Joshua Knight and the explosion that broke the sky.
VirulentBlurb is an ongoing project with new strands of fiction evolving all the time on various Twitter feeds.
