Marc Ruvolo

Marc Ruvolo is a queer writer and musician living in Portland, Oregon who once considered himself a punk. Over a musical career spanning thirty-five years he has released dozens of albums to critical acclaim, many through his own DIY label Johann’s Face Records. Touring regularly, he's performed shows in nearly every state in the U.S.A. as well as many far flung corners of the world. In 2010, he founded Bucket O’ Blood Books in Chicago, a genre-focused book and record store which continues to host touring writers to this day. His poetry and fiction have appeared in Cynthia Pelayo’s Gothic Blue Book Series, The Night’s End Horror Podcast, HORNS, and The Best of Abyss & Apex Vol. 4. His debut horror poetry chapbook “Creep & Crow” is now available with a new horror novella, “SLOE,” due in August 2023.
