"Stephen Mark Rainey's works are of the most disturbing and lasting kind. He leads us into a world that looks familiar, then rips open the seams around us and reveals the hideous possibilities that lie a hair's breadth away."
—Elizabeth Massie
Bram Stoker award–winning author of Sineater, Welcome Back to the Night, and Wire Mesh Mothers

I am author of the novels Dark Shadows: Dreams of the Dark (with Elizabeth Massie), Blue Devil Island, The Nightmare Frontier, The Lebo Coven, and Balak; four short story collections; and over 80 published works of short fiction, which may be found in magazines and anthologies such as Cemetery Dance, The Best of Cemetery Dance, October Dreams, Miskatonic University, Robert Bloch's Psychos, The New Lovecraft Circle, and many others. For ten years, I edited Deathrealm magazine, and in 2004, an anthology of reprinted stories, titled Deathrealms, for Delirium Books. I have also edited the anthologies Song of Cthulhu for Chaosium and Evermore (with James Robert Smith) for Arkham House. I live in Greensboro, NC, with the missus (Peggy R) and a pair of the requisite puddy tats. Visit my Web site at The Realm of Stephen Mark Rainey.
