Maxim Volk

Maxim Volk (they/he) is not in a cult anymore. Now they write things. Horrible things. Terrible things. Things that are sure to make God regret dropping Adam and Eve in that garden with no pants on. Their work has appeared in Carnage House, Macabre Magazine, Horrific Scribes, and more. Their first book, Deadbeat, was released in June 2026 by Slashic Horror Press, https://www.slashichorrorpress.com.

Maxim Volk contributed the story “My Love, Like Moss, Envelops You” to Extremely Weird Splatter.

Volk’s answers to the “Extremely Weird Splatter Written in Authors’ Guts” interview questions are in group two.

“In case you can’t tell, I’m just writing whatever the fuck I want, genre and branding be damned. I’m sure I’ll settle into one genre eventually, but for now, I just close my eyes and let the stories come to me.”
