Last Days

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Brian Evenson is the author of nine books of fiction, including The Open Curtain (2006), which was a finalist for the International Horror Guild Award and the Edgar Award and was named one of the ten best books of the year by Time Out New York. Evenson's most recent collection of stories, The Wavering Knife (2004), won the International Horror Guild Award. Among his other books are Altmann's Tongue (1994), which was the cause of a great deal of controversy, leading to his leaving a teaching job at Mormon-owned Brigham Young University and to his eventual break with the Mormon Church. In 2008 he published Aliens: No Exit, an Alien movie tie-in novel, from DH Press. A new story collection, Fugue State, will be published by Coffee House Press in 2009. He has also published a critical study of novelist Robert Coover and several book-length translations from French, and he is an occasional collaborator with graphic novelist Zak Sally. Evenson's work has been translated into French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. He directs Brown University's Creative Writing Program and lives in Providence, Rhode Island with writer Joanna Howard and their dog Ruby. You can find out more about his work at www.brianevenson.com.
