Gene-Michael Higney

Gene-Michael Higney was born in Brooklyn and was an ex-New Yorker, transplanted (sort of like a potted fern) from the Big Apple to the Big Orange, Los Angeles. He wrotes fiction, horror stories, and novellas, as well as bizarre humor and satire pieces for anyone brave enough to accept them. When not writing horror stories, he also co-authored children's books, so he didn't get much in the way of cross-over fans. (His children's books, co-written with Ann Garrett include: FINS AND FLIPPERS, SCALES AND NIPPERS, PEANUT BUTTER BBQ, MISS HISS IS MISSING, PRACTICAL YOKE, STARDUSTERS, TALES OF TAILS, WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?, and WHAT'S FOR DINNER?) Gene-Michael also did film script doctoring ("Turn your page and cough!") and edited other people's books (sometimes with their permission). If they were not odd before he gots hold of them, they would be afterward.

Gene-Michael Higney was the author of HORRORIFIC, HORRORIFIC 2, HORRORIFIC 3 and HORRORIFIC 4 as well as WHAT'S SO FUNNY?, Learning English Through Laughter. He was published frequently in the adult short fiction, horror and humor markets. Gene-Michael has been published in ALTERNATE REALITIES, AT THE BRINK OF MADNESS, BLOODREALMS, CEMETARY DANCE, FLESH & BLOOD, DEAD OF NIGHT, GENRE, HODZ and STRANGEWOOD TALES. His novella, COMES THE NIGHT WIND COLD AND HUNGRY appeared the anthology THE BEST OF CEMETERY DANCE, and was optioned for a movie. Gene-Michael has also published e-stories in zines such as JACKHAMMER, THEGRIMORE, ANOTHER REALM, FRIGHTNET, and SHYFLOWER'S GARDEN. He was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for Literature.

Gene-Michael Higney passed away from this world but his writing lives on.
