Biography
Maxime Lachaud, also known as Max Lachaud, is a French journalist and writer. Since the early 2000s, he is know as a reference scholar in the field of Southern Gothic, arts and literature from the South of the United States. He is the author of the book « Harry Crews: un maître du grotesque » (K-Inite, 2007), first French complete study of the strange and tragi-comic world of this major figure of the literary South. He has also written and made conferences on such names of the American South such as Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Tobe Hooper, Herschell Gordon Lewis, James Dickey, Joe R. Lansdale, John Clarence Laughlin and many others.
He is also known for his very active work in the field of underground musics and arts. He started in 2000/2002 by writing for the French fanzine Abus Dangereux, before creating his own in 2002 with Douche Froide. This review accompanied with a CD, then became a radio show in 2004. With Douche Froide, Maxime Lachaud worked on different projects such as the CD/Book « Aux Limites du Son » revolving around the French literary and iconoclast group of the eighties, Limite, which revolutionized the world of science-fiction in France.
But he is mainly known for his hundreds and hundreds of interviews for different medias such as the channel OC-TV, the radio channel Canal Sud and for many books, webzines and magazines, such as Obskure or the arty Timeless and Numéro Zéro among many others. This journalistic work in the field of photography, plastic arts, graphic arts, music, literature or cinema, has made him one of the most well-known author in the field of Neo-Gothic culture, thanks also to books such as « Carnets Noirs II », « The Remains of the Gothic » or « Obskure Opus 1 ». His work with Douche Froide led him also to be known as an interviewer attracted to certain music styles: industrial, avant-garde, minimalist, experimental, cold-wave, neofolk, ritual and repetitive musics.
