Daniel Brazee

A Project413 veteran and the writer of the popular Berkshire Mythos column, this time around I'm looking to show the world my skills in fiction as well as continue my gritty, insane and funny style of journalism. If you really like my work (and you are connected with a publishing house, comic company, movie studio or printed magazine) please contact me. If not, read my work and become one of the many Scoobaholics around the world.

The Last Days of Darrian 7

In the mirror where I once saw a strong, willful man, I now stare into the eyes of a weak, pitiful creature. All hope is absent in those orbs.

I spent 2 months researching this for college. I might as well put it up.

The life of Attila the Hun, the way I interpreted it.

Strange Sands

Two weeks in the summer of 2002 evoke more memories for me than any other fort night in my life. At the time, it seemed like a horror movie, but staring back through the fog of time, I now see it as an exciting adventure. At 15 years old I stared down a gun barrel, [...]

When I started in elementary school, we were taught the competitive system that had kept America on top of the world since my grandfather was born. Kids were expected to learn every [...]

One Mans Trash An Observation

I stepped outside the other day and became witness to a state of near panic. Traffic was blocked for a half mile in either direction in front of my home on Dalton Ave. Several [...]

New York’s Trash On My Doorstep

I read an article in the Eagle about the ‘Guardian Angels’ offering to “help” with a vandalism problem in Housatonic.
Are you fucking serious?
Ok, so I don’t support vandals, but that’s what bored South County rich kids do when deprived of entertainment. Really, though, that’s a matter for the pigs…er, police officers, that is (hey, I [...]

Berkshire Mythos: Vicious Rumors form an Eccentric Folklorist

I’ve been all around the continental block, seen all manner of strange behavior; from ranting rocky mountain militia men who think that the FBI is out to steal their shacks to French Canadian weed dealers who like to watch guests take turns on their wives.
But few places are stranger than the place I grew up [...]
