Author Biography

Dale Bailey has sold more than twenty short stories over the last decade. A frequent contributor to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, he has also published short fiction in Amazing Stories, Pulphouse, The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, Nebula Awards 31, and the two most recent collections of The Best from Fantasy & Science Fiction. His first novel, The Fallen, is due this fall from Signet Books, and a second novel is in the works. Screen rights to his Nebula-nominated novelette, "The Resurrection Man's Legacy," have been optioned by Twentieth Century Fox. It is also the title story of a collection of his short fiction, coming next year from Golden Gryphon Press.

Dale graduated from Bethany College in 1990. He holds a Master's degree and a Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of Tennessee, where he has taught for the last ten years. In the fall, he will begin a new teaching position as Assistant Professor of English at Lenoir-Rhyne College.

In addition to his fiction writing, Dale is the author of a study of contemporary American horror fiction, American Nightmares: The Haunted House Formula in American Popular Fiction, published by Bowling Green State University Popular Press in 1999. He also writes a bi-monthly column on death and dying for The Dodge Magazine, published by one of the world's leading manufacturers of embalming equipment and chemicals. He has recently moved to Hickory, North Carolina, with his wife and daughter, and is probably unpacking boxes at this very moment.
