Gerard Houarner, Horror and Dark Fantasy Writer

Selected Bibliography

I've been writing for over thirty years, mostly short stories, so the list of publications is way too long. Following is a selected bibliography covering about the last ten years, when most of the stories that have earned Honorable Mentions in the St. Martins' Press Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, or which have been selected for "Best of" anthologies for various magazines and anthology series, were published.
