Benjamin Fouche

Sometimes the most efficient way to combat fear is to transfigure that which inflicts fright into something to share with others—whether it be a short-story or novel. By channeling terrors and merging them with the imagination, one may create art which captures all dreadful impressions. Indeed, the ghost story is as old as anyone can recall and is a wondrous way to bring others closer together unharmed. Moreover, one may even conquer one’s fear or understand its genesis through the penning of a story. Benjamin Fouché was by no means the bravest child in his family, yet his curiosity later encouraged him to illuminate the darkness by exploring the realms of fiction, as well as distant memories and fears. Through the inspiration of literature, true events, and his undomesticated imagination, he was able to create realms where only the boldest readers dare tread. Yet discontent with the contemporary world, he has chosen to remain within the shadows of the past and the forgotten Gothic style.
