 Tom
Monteleone has been a professional writer since 1972 and is a four-time winner
of the Bram Stoker Award. He has published more than 100 short stories in numerous
magazines and anthologies. His stories have been nominated for many awards,
and have appeared in lots of best-of-the-year compilations. His notorious column
of opinion and entertainment, The Mothers And Fathers Italian Association,
currently appears in Cemetery Dance magazine. He is the editor of seven
anthologies, including the highly acclaimed Borderlands series edited with his
wife, Elizabeth, of which Borderlands 5 won a Bram Stoker Award in
2003.
He has written for the stage and television, having scripts produced for American
Playhouse (which won him the Bronze Award at the International TV and Film
Festival of New York and the Gabriel Award), George Romero’s Tales
from the Darkside, and a series on Fox TV entitled Night Visions.
He has written ten feature-length screenplays, none of which have been produced,
but have made him plenty of money anyway.
Of his thirty-six books, his novel, The Blood of the Lamb received
the 1993 Bram Stoker Award, and The New York Times Notable Book of
the Year Award. His four collections of selected short fiction are Dark
Stars and Other Illuminations (1981), Rough Beasts and Other Mutations
(2003), The Little Brown Book of Bizarre Stories (2004), and Fearful
Symmetries (2004), which won the 2004 Bram Stoker Award. His novels, The
Resurrectionist and Night of Broken Souls, global thrillers from
Warner Books, received rave reviews and have been optioned for films. The
Reckoning (2000), a sequel to The Blood of the Lamb, and The
Eyes of the Virgin (2002) have been published by Forge. His omnibus volume
of essays about the book and film industries entitled The Mothers And Fathers
Italian Association was recently published by Borderlands Press (www.borderlandspress.com)
and won the 2003 Bram Stoker Award for Non-Fiction. He is also the author of
the bestseller, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing a Novel
(2004), and is currently at work on his latest novel, Submarine. His
books and stories have been translated into twelve foreign languages. He’s
a writer, please don’t call him an “author.”
He likes baseball, the Baltimore Ravens, computers, sour mash whiskey, fine
wines, comic books, tons of books to read, all kinds of music (except the stuff
sung by people wearing big hats or pants down to their knees), and teaching
his kids how to be independent thinkers. Despite being dragged kicking and screaming
into his fifties (and losing his hair), he still thinks he is dashingly handsome—humor
him. With his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Olivia, he recently moved from
the frozen tundra (is there any other kind?) of New Hampshire to the rolling
hills of Maryland.
