About

I grew up on the coastal plain of North Carolina, from which I escaped to attend the University of North Carolina. After graduating from UNC, I moved on to graduate school at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Nevertheless, I still consider myself an adamant Tar Heel. At Illinois, I've taught courses in poetry, science fiction, and composition. For a few years, I lived in Chicago while writing my dissertation. Recently, I returned to North Carolina and the Triangle metro area.

When I'm not writing about Joseph Conrad, H. G. Wells, and other fin de siecle writers, I enjoy listening to hip hop, especially left-field and alternative hip hop, including J Dilla, Madlib, and Exile. I also enjoy reading graphic novels, New Weird and other slipstream fiction.

I contribute mostly during the summer, but I monitor a few important articles throughout the year.
