| At the age of nine, Tom
Piccirilli led a rebellion of over 200 Kentucky coal miners, escaping
the clutches of the evil Willy Bob's White Trash Trailer Park of Death
and drifting across America, working a variety of jobs that included underwater
demolition expert, CIA operative in Laos, traveling exorcist and demon
wrassler, professional paper clip bender (what, you thought they came
in that shape?), and profound but perpetual liar. This varied background
has provided the substance for his literary style of supernatural/noir
fusion.
Tom is the author of nine novels, including: HEXES, THE DECEASED, THE DEAD PAST, SORROW’S CROWN, GRAVE MEN, and most recently THE NIGHT CLASS from Bereshith Publishing. Look for A LOWER DEEP coming soon from Leisure Horror. He's sold over 100 stories to various anthologies including: MUSEUM OF HORRORS, THE DARKER SIDE, BAD NEWS, OCTOBER DREAMS, HOT BLOOD: STRANGER BY NIGHT, HOT BLOOD: FEAR THE FEVER, HOT BLOOD: CRIMES OF PASSION, THE CONSPIRACY FILES, STAR COLONIES, BEST OF THE AMERICAN WEST II, DESPERADOES, GUNS OF THE WEST, and the magazines Cemetery Dance, Gothic.net, Fantastic Stories, The Third Alternative, CrimeWave, and Hardboiled, among many others. He’s also the winner of the first HWA Bram Stoker Award given in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Poetry, for his collection A STUDENT OF HELL. Tom lives in Estes Park, Colorado.
