Tom Reamy
One of genre fiction’s best kept secrets is Tom Reamy. He was nominated for the Hugo four times, won the Nebula, and won the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer. He was one of the founders of the Turkey City Writer’s Workshop. He was loved by his peers and considered an heir to Bradbury’s weird fiction tradition. Then he tragically passed away seven pages into his second novel. A shining star was darkened that day, and I can only imagine what great works we could have seen. Now his fiction is primarily out of print and you have to dig into the dark corners of your used book store to find copies of his work. We dug deep and hope you seek out more of his work after this.
