Award winning author and writing professor Michael Arnzen was born in Amityville, NY - home town of the infamous horror house. After a brief stint in the US Army overseas, where he began writing horror stories to entertain his fellow soldiers, he moved to Colorado where he launched his career in publishing to much success. By the mid-nineties he received the coveted Bram Stoker Award - the highest accolade in the horror genre - for his first novel, Grave Markings. Shortly thereafter, he went on to earn a Master's degree while working on his second novel, soon followed by his Ph.D. in English at the University of Oregon, where he studied horror and nostalgia in 20th century culture in a dissertation called The Popular Uncanny (soon to be published by Guide Dog Books).
Arnzen now lives near Pittsburgh with his wife and cats. He is a tenured Professor of English at Seton Hill University, where he teaches in an innovative Master's degree program in Writing Popular Fiction. His latest works include Proverbs for Monsters (a short story collection) and Audiovile (a unique spoken word CD). Gorelets.com now features a full bibliography and publication history, with free excerpts, links to reviews, and much more. Media photographs are available in the online gallery, and breaking news is always posted first to the Goreletter weblog. |

If Martha Stewart needs advice on removing those pesky bloodstains from the carpet, she finally knows whom to call. But she might want to call ahead and bring along a little extra muscle. In Dying, a satire of the pop-culture phenomenon, Living magazine, Michael Arnzen turns Stewart’s cheery perfectionism into something almost as horrible... Unnerving...-Publishers Weekly Welcome to the barbed brain of Michael Arnzen, where every axon is a steel trap, every dendrite a hidden snare, every synapse a cul de sac, and every myelin sheath an elixir enabling us to find affirmation in ugliness and to smile whenever the dog eats God's homework. -James Morrow As one might hope, Dying whipsaws the reader from giggling to guffawing to cringing, often all on the same page. The thin volume employs 16 sections to offer the sorts of stylish homemaking tips that might have been practiced by the family in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre if only those worthies had sprung from an upscale background. -Locus Praise for Michael Arnzen Arnzen comes at you strictly from hunger and somewhere out in left field, to revive lost terms of the Beat Generation. His ideas are outta sight, gonzo, off-the-wall, and rad. There's no predicting. Do not trust this dude. -Karl Edward Wagner Mike Arnzen makes one cringe. -Atsatrohn |
