Vanessa "Eve" Caudillo is a writer of Horror Erotica poetry and an abstract painter. She grew up moving back and forth between the lush jungles of Kauai and the concrete jungle of Los Angeles, so she was raised living in between extremes. Horror always fascinated her as a middle-schooler, and it greatly influenced her style and choice of content both as a writer and artist. She was also very much into music as a kid and you can hear the echoes of musical influence in her poetry as some of it is written in meter, rhythmic in nature like the Beat Poets of the 1950's and 1960's. She studied English in college and lives in San Diego.
