Credited editor of "The Vile, Sinister, and Most Utterly Diabolical Account of Latrina Emerson" by Anthony Anderson (2011)

Corvis Nocturnium

Born in May of 1971, great-grandson of a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and Freemason, Corvis Nocturnum began his foray into the dark and decadent world of professional art in the year 2000 as Darkartist V. Heavily influenced by artists such as Brom, Joseph Vargo, Luis Royo and Dorian Cleavenger, this self taught renaissance man combined gothic ambiance with tastefully erotic imagery. His works have been featured on covers of books, music catalogs, in galleries and in Julie Strain's Nightmare on Pinup Street (published by Heavy Metal).

A long time scholar of occult and Asian philosophy as well as the works of Carl Jung, Nietzsche and Anton LaVey, Corvis became ordained while holding a co-chair (and later Vice President) position within the Fort Wayne Pagan Alliance (an all faith tolerance organization). During his tenure with the FWPA he also co-owned and operated an occult store, that also acted as a meeting place for the group, for several years. In addition, during this time, Corvis assisted as Vendor Coordinator at three annual Pagan Pride Day events.

Corvis had been a long time fan of Anton LaVey's teachings and had studied much about his life. He researched the Church of Satan, and seeing that they were like-minded individuals, decided to join the organization as a citizen of the Infernal Empire in June 2004.

In his free time Corvis enjoys creating stunning works of fantasy, pagan, and gothic artwork. He enjoys oil painting most of all. He continues to challenge himself not just artistically but also in the literary world with new writings. He is currently working on new books including some possible fiction.

Anthony Anderson

This particular Anthony Anderson is NOT the more famous actor/comedian of the same name. Much of his fiction can be considered fantasy or science fiction, often with a satirical bent. He currently resides somewhere in the Southern United States. As he is the author of "The Vile, Sinister, and Most Utterly Diabolical Account of Latrina Emerson", he is not exactly counting on too many speaking engagements at a local church anytime soon.

"The Vile, Sinister, and Most Utterly Diabolical Account of Latrina Emerson" (Book 1 of series)
Synopsis: What would Latrina Emerson, unassuming librarian and church organist, have in common with an agnostic physicist and a bunch of occultists over 2000 miles away? Absolutely nothing if she could help it. Some not-so-benevolent "Forces of Light", alas, won’t let her help it. She’s part of their plan save their credibility after some recent embarrassments (Y2K failing to end the world on prophetic schedule, increasing distrust of authority, etc) and shut up those smart alecks in the Forces of Darkness. But the Forces of Darkness have never followed the Light's rules—like the ones that say they have to be totally evil or always lose in the end—and they're not about to start now. A faction of Hell, in fact, has decided that despite religious and philosophical differences, Latrina is too decent a person to be martyred "for the greater good". Warning her, however, gets a bit tricky. And the real wild card may be Latrina herself, who may not be as “manageable” as the Powers-That-Only-Think-They-Be would like.

The novel is currently available.
