Eric J. Guignard is a writer, editor, and anthologist of dark and speculative fiction, operating from the shadowy outskirts of Los Angeles, where he also runs the small press Dark Moon Books. He’s twice won the Bram Stoker Award® (the highest literary award of horror fiction), won the Shirley Jackson Award, and been a finalist for the World Fantasy Award and International Thriller Writers Award. He has over 150 stories appearing in publications around the world. As editor, Eric’s published multiple fiction anthologies, including Professor Charlatan Bardot’s Travel Anthology to the Most (Fictional) Haunted Buildings in the Weird, Wild World, and A World of Horror, each a showcase of international horror short fiction. His newest anthology, Scaring and Daring, is a Middle Grade-revisiting of classic literature tales, coming August 2025 by HarperCollins. He currently publishes the acclaimed series of author primers created to champion modern masters of the dark and macabre, Exploring Dark Short Fiction. He is also publisher and acquisitions editor for the renowned +Horror Library+ anthology series. Formerly, he was curator of the series, The Horror Writers Association Presents: Haunted Library of Horror Classics, through SourceBooks with co-editor Leslie S. Klinger. His latest release is A Graveside Gallery: Tales of Ghosts and Dark Matters (his second fiction collection through Cemetery Dance). His next novel Wrecked, Yet Sent Forth is under consideration (and hopefully forthcoming!). Outside the glamorous and jet-setting world of indie fiction, Eric’s a technical writer and college professor, and he stumbles home each day to a wife, children, dogs, and a terrarium filled with mischievous beetles. |
