Stanley Wiater

Praised by Stephen King as

"a very talented journalist," Stanley Wiater is a widely acclaimed observer of the dark side of popular culture. He has interviewed more major horror and suspense authors, filmmakers, actors, and artists than any other journalist, for five decades.

He is the creator of DARK DREAMERS a television series profiling many of these personalities, the first two seasons of which were syndicated nationwide in Canada and the United Kingdom. The 26 episode series includes exclusive interviews with such masters of unease as Clive Barker, Richard Matheson, Wes Craven, Gahan Wilson, Peter Straub, Richard Laymon, Bernie Wrightson, and Harlan Ellison. A single disc BEST OF DARK DREAMERS is also available.

Rue Morgue magazine has hailed Wiater as "the top horror journalist in North America for the past twenty-five years."

He has won the coveted Bram Stoker Award three times, and been nominated for the International Horror Guild, Hugo, Rondo, Eisner, Harvey, Locus, and Readercon awards. Wiater's more than 750 interviews, profiles, exposes, essays, reviews, DVD liner notes, short stories, five collections of exclusive interviews, as well as his literary biographies of Brian Lumley, Stephen King, and Richard Matheson have been translated into more than a dozen languages.

A collection of his award-winning short stories, INTIMATE STRANGERS, has been fully dramatized as an audio book. The four tale collection includes "The Toucher" which was the sole winner of a competition judged by Stephen King.
