The closet monsters truly do cum in my erotic horror collection, Closet Monsters: Zombied Out and Tales of Gothrotica.

I’ve been drawn to horror and the supernatural since the spooks first showed up at my family’s Long Island home (find out more about My Haunted Home Life). I’ve been intrigued by sex since I stumbled on nudy magazines stashed in my teenage brother’s magic kit in the mid-1970s when I was just a toddler. Yet, when the slasher sexploitation movie genre was booming in the 1980s, the scenes that disturbed me most were those that blended horror with sex. Now I realize why. They always involved naked women. EEK! While I’m a huge fan of scream queens (check out  My Fave Femme Fatales), I prefer they keep their clothes on. However, there are homoerotic moments to be found in many horror movies if you search long and hard for the long and hard…. I’ve created a manhunt guide, so feel free to go Stud Stalking with me. And let me know of any gems you’ve come across!

Taking women out of the equation, I discovered sex and horror can be fun. I began adding paranormal and supernatural themes to some of my erotic writings. After having a number of my ‘porn’ stories published in magazines and book anthologies (see My Writes), I decided to gather together a collection of my erotic stories that had dark, gothic and horror themes.

Apparently, sex sells. STARbooks Press was gracious enough to pick the collection up immediately. “Woof!” is the title of one of the stories in Closet Monsters, and it actually won first place in the January 2006 erotic short story writing contest at www.bookpuppy.co.uk (Wahoo!), so I felt confident that the genre had an audience (or did I simply stumble across the right judges?).

If you get off (literally) on watching porn as well as reading it, then you’re a person after my own heart and hard-on. I review adult films for SexHerald, which has a growing section of gay film content. Check out my reviews at www.sexherald.com and while you’re poking around, explore some of the other hot, sexy and informative features on the site.

Now, about me personally. I was born in 69 (great number), the youngest of four boys—so the odds were I was going to be gay, regardless of all those crucial ‘male role models.’ I consider giving birth to a happy gay boy to be My Mom's Success Story, although it took her a couple of days to realize it.

I began reading at an early age—thanks to the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys television series in 1977, which made me want to pick up a book and got me writing my very own Nancy Drew mysteries. I would continue writing throughout my school career, but my focus was on My Music Obsession. I am a pop music whore, and as a teenager, I dreamed of being a pop star. Ironically, while I was getting an Associates degree in music at Five Towns College, my English teacher took a shine to my writing and convinced me that I was good. Two years later, I was enrolled at Queens College as an English major. So began my writing journey. I minored in education, but after a five-month stint as a fill-in high school English teacher, I decided, “Fuck, NO!” I’m telling you, the high school at which I taught truly was built over Hellmouth. I kind of wish Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees would have hooked up in some psycho killer chatboard and attended my students’ prom together….

After seven on-again, off-again years trying to get a four-year degree (money was tight), I continued at Queens College for my Masters in creative writing. Finally finished up in 1999 (12 years after graduating high school!). I’d already had my first erotic story accepted by Firsthand magazine. That wasn’t going to pay the bills, so I entered the world of publishing, starting off in sales before a friend got me a job as a copywriter, and that’s my 9 to 5 to this day.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy Closet Monsters, I hope you enjoy the site. I tried to make it interesting and fun with just the right amount of author narcissism. Look around, have fun. And if you want to talk horror or music, e-mail me at dwkelly@optonline.net. You can also become a MySpace Friend by visiting me at MySpace.com/danielwkelly.

Just note that my site seems to format most closely to what I intended if you use Internet Explorer, particularly if you view it on MY computer. I've learned that hosting your own website can be a real pain in the arse! Feel free to let me know of any dead/broken links or other issues on the site. Thanks!
