About the Author

Nathan Tackett wrote some words once. He then wrote some more words. Wash, rinse,repeat, until the day he can make a living off this or he dies -whichever comes first.
He is most comfortable in the realms of dark humor, science fiction, and booze soaked literature. You could call him a genre-hopper. He's been called worse.
He is best known for his collections of short stories and poetry.
Tackett's writing has been called "...the bastard child of Charles Bukowski and Chuck Palahniuk."
It has also been called pure crap.
Currently, he lives somewhere he doesn't really want to.
He would personally like to thank you for stopping by.
