Wayne Goodchild

Wayne Goodchild is from Scunthorpe, which is the only town in the whole of England that's twinned with its own rubbish dump. He spent a few years in Australia and the US, but now lives in Colombia with his wife and two young sons. He's a qualified English teacher, noisy musician and erstwhile filmmaker. He also has a thoroughly healthy obsession with 1980's horror films, pulp/weird fiction and old jazz.

He has over thirty publication credits to his name, many of which were invite-only anthologies that also feature noted genre authors such as Simon Kurt Unsworth and Jonathan Green.

Wayne has also edited several novels and compiled various anthologies, although sadly those publishers no longer exist (Pill Hill Press, Library of the Living Dead). He's currently (November 2020) assembling a collection of short stories, This Town Will Destroy You, that should see the light of day before 2021 rolls around.
