Micah Genest

Born in Canada, his works tend to use gallows humour, in the style of dark/bizarre fairy tales, using absurdism, innuendoes, and satire.

Inspiration for his stories derive from dark European and American fairy tales; episodic classic children novels, such as "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and its series, "Peter and Wendy," and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland;" as well as medieval fabliaux, chivalric romances, and Georgian literature on sensibility.
