Biography

Praised by Stephen King as "a very talented journalist," Stanley Wiater is a widely acclaimed observer of the dark side of popular culture. He has interviewed more major horror and suspense authors, filmmakers, actors, and artists than any other journalist.

He is the creator of "Dark Dreamers" (available on DVD at Amazon), a television series profiling these personalities, which has been broadcast nationwide in Canada and Great Britain. The 26 episode series includes interviews with such masters as Clive Barker, Richard Matheson, Wes Craven, and Harlan Ellison.

Rue Morgue magazine has hailed him as "the top horror journalist in North
America for the past twenty-five years." He has won the coveted Bram Stoker
Award three times, and been nominated for the International Horror Guild, Hugo, Rondo, Eisner, Harvey, Locus, and Readercon awards.

A collection of his short stories, "Intimate Strangers," has been dramatized and is available as an audio book at Amazon. It includes the "The Toucher" which was the sole winner of a competition judged by Stephen King.
