About the Author

Paul Michael Durivage writes horror, apocalyptic satire, and quiet stories about ordinary damage. He does not write to help you escape reality; he writes to help you confront it. He is not interested in providing easy answers or comfortable conclusions. Instead, his work is designed to hold uncomfortable questions steady long enough for real thought to happen.

Before writing full-time, Paul spent years navigating corporate environments—an experience that deeply infects his bureaucratic horror and satirical work. He knows intimately how systems operate, how they lie, and what they do to the people caught inside them.

His non-fiction and reflective writing, including the Notes from Ordinary Hours series, acts as a practical survival guide for the real world. These books focus on the practice of subtraction, building internal structure, and learning to sit with discomfort without running away.

Whether his characters are dealing with a nameless demon, the aftermath of a broken marriage, or a mandated corporate wellness initiative, Paul’s core philosophy remains the same: the only way through the damage is to stop rushing past it.

He currently lives and writes in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, continuing to build stories that apply pressure to the exact moment where control slips.
