Thank you for visiting, fellow travelers in the world of storytelling. I am Jordan Gravewyck, and like many, I desired to be a storyteller ever since I came into this world, stumbling through that mephitic crypt. It took decades for me to collect the life experiences needed to create decent prose. I tell you that it was no easy feat luring my contributors to the examination table. The process has left me older than I am, so I hope you honor the sacrifices by letting my stories devour you.
Explore the Darkness
This Blog allows me to share the tales I've scrawled with ichor from my black heart on unwholesome velum without having to leave the comfort of my gloomy exile. In these posts, you'll find stories and reflections, each a piece of the Gravewyck Puzzle, a puzzle that I must assemble without the box. I seek to explore the uncharted and treacherous lanes of my mind and heart. My intention is authenticity, even if my medium is shadow and illusion. The characters that spring to life from my words, the emotions that dance between the lines, and the connections we'll hopefully forge here.
Join me in the Quiet of the Darkest Shadows
This blog is not a loudspeaker, but a whisper in the vast expanse of the digital world. It's a place for discovery. A place for you and others to stumble upon, explore, and perhaps find a resonance with the stories and ideas shared. I cherish the organic growth of this space, where each reader and each connection, is a meaningful addition to our collective journey.
I invite you to join me in exploring the unusual, the unsettling, and the unbound. Each post will unravel a bit more of the world as I see it - a tapestry woven from the threads of reality, fantasy, and the myriad shades in between.
Whether you're the first or the hundredth reader to wander here, your presence is valued. This is a space where engagement is not measured in numbers, but in the depth of our interactions. I look forward to learning from you, sharing with you, and growing with you.
The Winding Stairs of the Crypt
In the coming weeks, I'll share more about my life's journey, from a childhood steeped in personal horror, old radio shows, and eclectic readings to the embrace of darkness and the search for beauty within the shadows. And alongside these stories, I will introduce monthly writing exercises for myself, but also as an invitation for us to create and reflect together. These will be challenges for me to write more believable human interactions, more terrifying scenes of horror, and how to inflict my readers with deeper emotional wounds.
I encourage you to share your thoughts, your stories, and your perspectives. I sincerely hope this blog is more than just my platform and that it may become our community. Let's build it with the bricks of authenticity, creativity, and mutual respect.
The Adventure Begins
Thank you for stepping into my world. May our journey together be as enlightening as it is entertaining. The path is laid out; let's walk it with a smirk and a sense of wonder.
