About

Kyle was born in the jungles of Ecuador, a magical land laden with mystical and wise jaguars, empanadas, and a cool air that has yet to be matched. After graduating college with a B.S. in Digital Cinema, Kyle found a new home in the Ozark Mountains and began his journey as an author: publishing Weird horror and sci-fi stories, comics, and some angsty poetry. When he's not writing, producing, hosting podcasts on Ominous Media, or describing himself in the third-person, Kyle busies himself with absorbing all forms of media (the spookier the better) or eating and drinking with family, friends, and other creators.

FAQ

So if you're from Ecuador...why are you white?

While I was born in Ecuador and lived there for many years, I am a U.S. citizen who also doesn’t spend a ton of time in the sun. Nonetheless, Ecuador is still very important to me and I am glad to have called it home for so many years EXCEPT for that one time in 5th grade with the anaconda, llama, and banana…
Favorite movie?

This is always a tough question, but when push comes to shove I gotta go with Jaws.The more I think about it, the more I love it. No other shark movie has ever come close and I have a strong feeling none ever will. Farewell and adieu, to you fair Spanish ladies.
What the heck are those two dots above the "u" in your last name?

That’s an umlaut! It’s used over a vowel to help people know how to pronounce my name AKA the “uck” in “Stuck” is pronounced like the “uke” in “Duke.” Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Favorite book?

Another tough question! Let’s go with Lamb by Christopher Moore. It’s easy for folks to write it off as mean-spirited or blasphemous for the sake of shock or satire but there is genuine heart and respect to be found here. It even made me cry. Oh, and it’s really, REALLY funny.
What is the "direverse?"

The Direverse is a new and exciting fantasy universe created by me and home to multiple comics, books, and other mediums currently in production.
Favorite TV Show?

One of the few shows that lives up to all the hype. Breaking Bad is a masterpiece and I will spend the rest of my days being jealous of what Vince Gilligan and his team accomplished.
Is it true you call yourself "Papa?"

Papa can neither confirm nor deny what Papa does.
Favorite Music?

Jazz. All day, every day. Yes, I am that annoying person. Yoko Kanno, Kamasi Washington, and Chet Baker are my current favorites.
