Daniel Eness

Daniel Eness writes stories of strange adventure where the hero always wins, except those times when he dies spectacularly in an explosion. He lives in Iowa with his family of six, for whom he writes of the churning seascape of the soul, deep evil and the hope that has overcome them both. His work has appeared in Stupefying Stories, Ideomancer, Diagram and Brain Harvest Magazine, and, in 2012, Eortholic Press will release two novels, a novella and a collection of short adventures.
