Milliways Dossier: Tyler Darrow


Threads: (x)

History

  • Writes horror stories -
    "The only reason people go looking for what I write is if they don't want to sleep"
  • Doesn't sleep much himself - drinks coffee

Impressions

  • Threat Level: UNSURE
  • Working on a story where a small group goes camping in the mountains and gets picked off one at a time - sounds like something Drosselmeyer would get a kick out of!
  • Strangely-printed writing!
  • "And stay away from the dialogue. Nobody ever speaks in perfect grammar. Especially not people scared out of their minds"
  • "I have faith that the world would continue to be be incomprehensible regardless of language. Stories have to make sense, history doesn't give a damn"
  • Stories are tools - "they're as much histories as the lunchbox is my lunch"
  • "If I'm in a story and I know things the author doesn't, then the history is just a story in the story. And with a little luck, from the outside, my story is part of history"

Weaknesses

  • Standard human, with the standard human squishiness

Scabs

  • What does he like to write when he's not writing horror?
  • Is he fictionally away?

Opportunities

  • He could teach me a bit about writing, it's true
