About Me

AXL BARNES

Thank you for visiting my blog! 

I'm a horror writer from Edmonton, Canada. My writing departs from traditional horror and incorporates elements of existentialist/philosophical fiction and postmodernism alongside gritty, extreme horror. Character-driven, my fiction means to capture the absurd, sordid, depraved, and grotesque character of human life and be both intellectually challenging and visceral. My novella Ich Will and first novel Odin Rising are available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback. Currently, I'm working on a collection of short stories, Stillborn Gallery, and my second novel, This Town Must Burn.
