Weird Tales, Brian A. Hopkins has received the Bram Stoker Award and
been a finalist for both the Nebula Award and the Ted Sturgeon Memorial
Award. Hopkins is the author of several previous collections, the
novella Cold at Heart (Starlance, 1997), and the novel The Licking
Valley Coon Hunters Club (Yard Dog, 2000). He lives southeast of
Oklahoma City with his wife and two children on seven wooded acres
they share with deer. rabbits, squirrels, snakes, a bobcat, and other
assorted wildlife. He writes in a library he built from the ground
up.
"Brian Hopkins writes of the ocean as if he were part of it. His
empathy with whales--in particular--is phenomenal, and the subtle
blend of intense research and intuitive talent is--at times--unnerving.
Unforgettable fiction."
"When I examine my obsessionw ith Fitzgerald and Tolstoy, for
Dickens and Dostoevsky, I realize that what keeps me coming back .
. . is the music I hear when I am with them. So it is with Brian
Hopkins's work. He doesn't simply write; he composes. Long after
the reading is done, the melody lingers on."
"Brian Hopkins has a sensitivity for shadows. But make no
mistake about it. This 'sensitive' man will keep you up well past the
witching hour. He is a knight from the nightmare realm . . . the
director of darkness . . . He never met a scream he didn't like." | |||||||
