Who I Am

This amuses me cause it's unstable. Who I am is at the core of my writing journey and my personal one. I know, sometimes, from one moment to the next who I am and what I believe, then I get impacted by a comet of some kind and things shift, change, and bend. At my core though, I am human and I believe in the humanity of others. My name is Alledria Hurt and it is an objective fact that I've been publishing under this name for a decade. 

Why I Write

Joan Didion said, “I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.” 

I write for the experience of a world like or unlike my own and the feelings it invokes. I write to posit arguments about how things are and to explore different choices. I write to learn about me and hopefully to show others something new.

What You'll Find

Character identity driven speculative fiction. Horror, science fiction, and fantasy sometimes at the same time in the same story. You will find people struggling with the idea of who they are and how they fit into the world and how that shifts as times change. There will be despair, but there will also be hope. All the endings aren't happy though, be warned. Sometimes, the darkness wins. That's human and that's what you'll find here.
