A reclusive author who frequently collaborates with his author wife Lita Stone.Max writes chimera-fiction composed of fantasy-horror-erotic-drama teeming with retro-punkish and southern Gothic flavorings. Aiming to ride the line between hardcore and classy. If nothing else, he promises to deliver an experience unlikely to be found elsewhere. DISCLAIMER: Max would also like to point out that his writing is intended for a mature audience and will oftentimes be unapologetic in language and graphic themes. Squeamish readers and those with sensitive stomachs and heart conditions should read Max with caution. Some of his non-literature inspirations are: 1970s/80s b-horror movies, comic books, death metal, doom metal, and '80s hair metal - and the Castlevania: SOTN soundtrack. That creepy painting of the Giant Squid taking the ship down . . . and those countless nightmares where spiders are all over the floor and I can't make it to the bathroom so I just wet myself. (Max also maintains a stream-of-conscious blog on Goodreads filled with absurd - though eerily sometimes logical - chaos.)
