Heroes
Liviu Librescu and everyone fighting the good fight.
Outside the pages of a book or the frames of a movie, human beings are too flawed, fragile, and mortal to last long in the hero business. Which is probably a big part of why I enjoy books and movies so much.
Hello, and thanks for visiting! I write nonfiction, humor, poetry, and fiction.
My fiction goes all over the road, although I do tend to write genre stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.) more often than straightforward mainstream fiction.
You can find my work in:
I'm pretty geeked to be in a book with Ray Bradbury and Clive Barker.
And I write humorous science fiction; here are a few pieces you might have seen:
I write a quarterly column for Horror World on science and technology for writers. My writing has appeared in publications such as Chiaroscuro, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Full Unit Hookup, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, SF Site, Strange Horizons, and Writer Online. If you want to know more, please visit my bibliography.
I sometimes get asked why I write what I write, and the answer is really pretty simple: because that's what interests me.
I'm a graduate of the Clarion workshop and I'm co-moderator of Writeshop. I'm also one of the admins at Everything2.
For about 7 years, I published Dark Planet; I also served as an editor for the prozines Strange Horizons and HMS Beagle.
And, last but not least, I'm married to the smart, talented, and devastatingly sexy author Gary A. Braunbeck. If you enjoy thrillers, mysteries, and intelligent horror novels, check out his site.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
You're in a book with Bradbury and Barker!?!! I'm STOKED for you!!! Of course, it is probably old news to you by now. Still, very very cool. Nice going!
Thanks for adding me, I will have to find time to read some of your stuff!
