Adrian Cory

My work takes a particular theme or event and skews it through either the lens of menace or comedy. Fear and laughter are two of the extreme emotions we feel, and I make every effort to bring these to the fore in my writing. Every day there’s a new idea, a fresh angle I want to stretch comedically or take into a dark corner of the room.
