About the author

“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.
