Nickolaus Pacione

Nickolaus Pacione is the author of five books and the editor of nine anthologies, then 13 issues of a magazine called The Ethereal Gazette. He’s been published across the board for his short stories in Gothic Horror and some of his Science Fiction. The work he’s done in science fiction he can count on his fingers but the horror stories are numerous within the genres of Gothic Horror and other styles of horror.

He will not touch erotic horror with a ten foot pole – nor will he publish that sort of thing either. Because of his Christian background he stays away from homoerotic content in horror and believes there is no room for that in the horror genre especially in the kind of horror fiction he writes. His influences in horror are H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King – he’s been compared to any of them as well at any time.

His work had been recently had found its way into the Edgar Allan Poe Museum because of the anthology he’s edited called Nickolaus Albert Pacione Delivers: A Library of Unknown Horrors which is published in a website he’s got a working relationship with. Pacione proved he is more than being self-published as an author but also got published with Tales of the Talisman twice, and with Withersin Magazine. He appears as the closing writer twice on anthologies New Writers of The Purple Page and Darkened Horizons: Issue 3.
