Writer of horror and dark fantasy
You have ventured onto the site of Robert Essig, a place of horror and Dark fantasy. What interests him is darkness, be it the pitch of night, an abandoned cabin without electricity, the grime encrusted alley no one wants to walk alone, the truth your next door neighbor hides beneath the floorboards, or maybe something deep inside all of us that isn't quite right, something opaque and unbridled.
His stories come from that place in his mind where reality and unreality meld together. He has harnessed these thoughts and bring them to you in the form of fiction.
This is the site where you can find Robert's halucinations, imaginations and formidable impressions: his stories!
