INSIDE THE WRITERS HOUSE: REC EPISODES

Curator/Host: ALEX DAWSON

DAWSON is full time faculty at Rutgers University, where he teaches creative writing (with a focus on folklore, fantasy, and horror) and leads fable-fueled Study Abroad programs to some of the planet's most mythical places. He is the owner/creator of the the Rac-On-Tour, a mobile bookstore/cabinet of wonder built on the back of a flatbed farm truck, and he curates/hosts R.O.T. Fest, a bi-monthly vaudevillian variety show that puts writers onstage alongside musicians, puppeteers, and sideshow performers. His forthcoming novel, Welcome to White Hart (Little Island), has been called "magical and masterful" (Lev Grossman, The Magicians) and "a work of wizardry" (Idra Novey, Those Who Knew). Samantha Hunt (Mr. Splitfoot) called it a "wonder" and said it was "impossible not to be amazed." He is currently touring with The Devil and Daisy Dirt, an original bluegrass tall tale about the Jersey Devil, with live music and an 8' wearable puppet. He grew up on a ranch in Alabama and has been riding motorcycles since he was ten.
