Stanley Wiater

Praised by his friend and colleague Stephen King as "a very talented journalist," Stanley Wiater is a widely acclaimed observer of the dark side of popular culture. He has interviewed more major horror and suspense authors, filmmakers, actors, and artists than any other journalist, living or undead, for nearly five decades. Rue Morgue magazine has hailed Wiater as "the top horror journalist in North America for the past twenty-five years." He has won the coveted Bram Stoker Award three times, and been nominated for the International Horror Guild, Hugo, Rondo, Eisner, Harvey, Locus, and Readercon awards, among other nominations. Wiater's more than 750 interviews, profiles, exposes, essays, reviews, DVD liner notes, bad puns, short stories, five collections of exclusive interviews, as well as his literary biographies of Brian Lumley, Stephen King, and Richard Matheson have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
