Writings
I have written about film and photography for books, magazines, and online outlets since the early 2000s. I have bylines in publications such as Noir City, Horrified Magazine, Horror Homeroom, and many others. I have also written for academic journals, contributed materials (booklet essays, video essays) to boutique home video labels, and have authored book chapters about Eurocult films focusing on demonic posession, European popular cinema, neo-noir films, American regional horror films, and Hong Kong cinema.
Particular areas of interest for me are European horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, transnational film noir, 1990s neo-noir films and the erotic thriller of the same period (and the intersection between these two forms), and Italian crime cinema. On this page, I will list the work I have had published, providing links to any articles that have been published online.
I am also a published writer of fiction.
