About this author
D.B. Jackson has been writing fantasy and science fiction under a different pen name for over fifteen years. He has published novels, short stories, and media tie-ins in more than a dozen languages. He also has a Ph.D. in American History, and now, for the first time in his career, he is combining his love of fantasy with his passion for history. His first historical fantasy, Thieftaker, will be published by Tor Books in 2012. His short story, "The Tavern Fire," appears in After Hours: Tales from the Ur-Bar, edited by Joshua Palmatier and Patricia Bray, and published by DAW in March 2011.

| Before reading Carrie Ryan's THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH, I had never read a zombie book of any kind. I can't say that I was particularly drawn to them. I picture zombies as shambling, putrefying creatures that are vaguely comical rather than scary...more | |
