"Born at an early age at the dog-end of the Seventies (too young, alas, for

punk; too bloody old to be "young" anymore), Nelson Stanley is the

collective term that the insectile hivemind Ythbarrh prefers to be referred

to as. As well as penning stories for the likes of Wicked Hollow and Dark

Animus magazines, and rock journalism for LOGO-Magazine (an independent

online and print music journal) he spends his spare time as Ganelon,

betraying Charlemagne at Roncesvalle; kissing Jews in a Garden at

Gethsemane; and being villified and hunted across Mediaeval France because

of an unfortunate resemblance to Gilles De Rais. He is the owner of several

Ramones albums. His favourite is probably "It's Alive". He likes the colour

black and has a morbid fear of being burnt at the stake (he prefers his

steaks medium-rare).

"Nelson Stanley, twenty four year old tyre-fitter and amateur rock hack, has

no excuses. He does have the world's largest collection of convincing

rationalisations and a growing number of plausible exculpations but, if

pressed, he will simply roll up into a ball and feign death. His fictions

have been accepted by magazines like Wicked Hollow and Dark Animus, and

he writes for LOGO-MAGAZINE, a print and online music journal."
