Intro Blog - Jace Sassaman

    Hello! My name is Jace Sassaman, I'm a 20 year-old Junior majoring in Creative Writing, with a minor in Literature. I'm currently working on a fantasy novel that I hope to one day see published. In my spare time, I alter clothing, make jewelry, and consume a lot of horror media. I just recently finished The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix, an amalgamation of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and it was a fascinating watch. The trailer is here if you're interested, though fair warning, it's a bit gory. I tend to have an "obsession-of-the-month," and I talk about my interests quite often on my Tumblr blogs, of which I have five. You can never have too many Tumblr blogs.

    In class, I said my favorite book was Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, though I will admit it's been awhile since I've read it. Personally, I find Victor fascinating as a character, and his relationship with his creation extremely compelling. The set-up of the novel itself can also just be really funny at times; the monster is telling Victor, who is telling Robert Walton, who is telling his sister about all of these things that happened. It's like a super messed-up game of telephone.
