| DARK FANTASY & NIGHTMARES Myspace Editor Pimp MySpace Hi, my name is Mark Edward Hall, and I am a horror fiction author. I have written and published two books, plus over 30 shorts stories. My first novel, The Lost Village was recommended for a Bram Stoker Award. My second book, The Holocaust Opera is a collection of dark tales that includes two novellas, The Holocaust Opera and the Haunting of Sam Cabot. I am working on three new novels. They are tentatively titled, Testament, Nightbreeders, and Angel Island! The Ruby Necklace, a ghost story, is a chapbook that I co-wrote with T.M. Gray. It was also recommended for a Stoker award. My short fiction has found its way into the pages of, Book of Dark Wisdom, Kopfhalter, Raven’s tale, plus many more magazines and Anthologies. I can be contacted through my website at —www.markedwardhall.com, or at mark@markedwardhall.com BOOK REVIEWS "Mark Edward Hall is an amazing and talented writer. The Holocaust Opera, with its two novellas and seven shorter works, is an emotionally and psychologically driven thrill ride. Poetic and eerily seductive the author pushes you to the edge, until you get lost in the beautiful madness of his creations. —Midwest Book Review "Mark Edward Hall is an insightful author with the ability to craft a brilliant story. The Lost Village takes us on a quest, an exhaustive journey of human emotions, of pain, suffering, and wanderlust; it is a constant uncovering of times, places, and the forgotten. With absolute attention to detail, setting and ambience, you are along for an incredible ride. The most terrifying part of this compelling and supernatural story is that it borders on reality. From the haunting cover to the final page, Mark Edward Hall’s The Lost Village is a genuine must read!" —Dream Forge “I can't say enough about The Lost Village. I absolutely loved it. With every twist and turn of the plot, I was stunned by Hall’s strong depictions of images and events that made me utter, "Oh my God, this is GOOD!" and although I forced myself to take my time with it (I wanted to make it last), it seemed I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough.The Lost Village may make you question your own beliefs about Good and Evil and bring you to a new and terrifying realization of the truths contained therein.Once you've read The Lost Village, you'll see things in a whole new light. And you'll pray that the light stays on for a long time after you've put the book back on the shelf." —T. M. Gray , Author of GHOSTS OF EDEN, THE RAVENOUS and MR. CRISPER "Mark Edward Hall creates a thinking man's Village of the Damned and delivers a rich, complex and genuinely discomfiting story of good versus evil. The Lost Village ia an ambitious, epic horror opus in the grand tradition of Stephen King, with well-drawn, believable characters and plot twists galore. The images he creates are compelling and detailed, drawing the reader into the terrifying world he creates. A refreshingly intricate read with no easy outs for the reader." —Vince Liaguno, author of The Literary Six |

My Interests |
|
I like stories. I like writing novels, novellas, short stories and songs, playing in my band, going to camp. I like good, edgy, writing, something with meat and teeth. It doesn't have to be horror, scifi or fantasy; those things are nice but not necessary. It just has to be good. It has to make me think and be in awe. I'm interested in, no, I'm fasinated by, astronomy, things like super novas, black holes and colliding galaxies. Carl Sagan is my hero. I'm as psyched as he was at the prospect of life elsewhere in the cosmos. I'm still mourning his passing. I'm in awe of the universe and its vastness. I'm very much interested in man's quest to explore our neighboring worlds. But in the process I don't think we should abandon this one. Real or not, UFOs and the culture surrounding them are very strange and very cool. I like spending time on the bay, or in my back yard overlooking Swan Island. I like drinking good wine and having nice quiet dinners with my wife, Sheila. She's very cool too, the love of my life. We garden together and go to flea markets and hunt for antique treasures. She reads all my stuff first and tells me if I need a reality check. She doesn't lie to me and I do my best to listen to her wisdom. I like book signings and the camaraderie of other authors in this crazy business of writing. For the most part these are good people, complex people, like minded. I like throwing a good party and having friends over. I like stimulating intellectual discussions and backyard barbecues. Getting drunk once in a while. I like traipsing through the north country in pursuit of the elusive eastern brook trout, spending time back at camp in front of the fireplace with old friends and their wonderful stories. I love my two daughters. They're great people, fun to be with, and party with. I’m lucky. I like taking my dad fishing. I like the adventure of it. He did it for me, and sometimes I think it saved my life, now I do it for him. I like his dynamic; he’s an old Yankee from Maine, but no dummy. He’s a painter a craftsman, a musician, a philosopher. We have a strong connection. I like antiques because of the wonderful stories they tell. I like stories. Did I say that already? I like guitars, especially Stratocasters. I like old houses and back roads, and colorful native people, rough around the edges, with pickup trucks and local dialects. They seem like the foundation of our society. I like Pink Floyd. |

Television:Don't much like television. There are a few smart things being produced, but in my opinion most of it is moronic, as if the audience doesn't know the difference. But I think people are smarter than they're given credit. Television is merely a tool for greedy corporations who will stop at nothing to sell their junk to an unsuspecting public. And the news. What a joke! Don't get me started. |
