About the author

Gerard Houarner

73 books37 followers
“Houarner is a smart, intelligent talent who has a gift for writing with serene beauty about the most atrocious things.” Ed Bryant, Locus

He is also the author of 5 novels and over 300 short stories and novellas, some gathered in 6 collections.

He fell to Earth in the fifties and is a product of the NYC school system and the City College of New York, where he studied writing under Joseph Heller and Joel Oppenheimer and crashed hallucinogenic William Burroughs seminars back in the day.

The mental health field has provided a living as well as inspiration for the past 34 years. His current position might be described as Director of Recovery and Recreation at Arkham Asylum.

Since 1998, he has served as Fiction Editor for Space and Time magazine.

He continues to write whenever he can, mostly at night, about the dark.

Mostly Good Stories

As with most anthologies, some of the stories are good, some are really good, and some are just so-so.

The first story, Bridgett Nelson’s “Going Deep” is my favorite. (Full disclosure: I met Bridgett at last year’s KillerCon in Round Rock, Texas.) I like sharks so I found this story right up my alley.

I won’t tell you my least favorite story, as everyone’s tastes are different. I rated this anthology 4 stars out of 5, which should tell you that, overall, this is a great short story collection.
