Ian Gifford places words in combination until the combination unlocks.

He is like you.

Built of flesh and ghosts.

Filled with words that beg to be puzzled out. Patterns to be solved. Locks to be opened.

His ghosts enjoy the telling of tales. Lest they forget them.

Don’t worry, the opening is usually safe*. To see what worlds lie beyond those portals of words is a gift, a privilege.

*Mr. Gifford cannot be held responsible for loss of limb, life, or lucidity to gazers-through.

“None of this makes any sense, what is he?” He hears you asking. Shall we dispense with ambiguity?

I am a writer. I write. Sometimes for myself, sometimes for others. My background is in the codifying of technological liturgies, propaganda, and at-home rituals.

I love reading and writing short horror fiction. Would you like a taste?
