State Trooper #1

Edward Lee is a genre fiction writer, known predominantly for his prolific output of horror novels. He emerged during the early 1980s, along with the then new wave of horror writers.

Much of Edward's work has been published by Richard Chizmar through the latter's publishing house, Cemetery Dance Publications, which is located in Baltimore, MD. Said books include "Operator B" (1999), "Dahmer's Not Dead" (1999), "The Stickmen" (1999), "City Infernal" (2001), "Monstrosity" (2002), "Infernal Angel" (2003), "The Backwoods" (2005), "House Infernal" (2007), and the collection "Triage" with Jack Ketchum and Richard Laymon.

Edward's short fiction has also appeared in the following Cemetery Dance anthologies: alongside Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, William F. Nolan and countless other top horror writers in "The Best of Cemetery Dance" (1998), in "Imagination Fully Dilated" with Ramsey Campbell and Douglas Clegg etc., "Shivers" (2002), "Shivers II" (2003), "Shivers III" (2004), the anthology "Bad News" edited by Richard Laymon, and two more featuring Stephen King (the anthology "999: New Stories of Horror and Suspense" edited by Al Sarrantonio and the poetry anthology "The Devil's Wine" ed. Tom Piccirilli ). His short fiction has further appeared in "Cemetery Dance Magazine" and the CD comic book "Grave Tales".

He worked again with Jack Ketchum on the collection "Sleep Disorder" (2003), two of the "Hot Blood" anthologies, and the pair starred in Edward's movie Header (2006) as state troopers.

His fiction can also be found through Necro Publications, Overlook Connection Press, Bloodletting Press, Berkley Publishing Group, Zebra Books aka Pinnacle Books, Bereshith Books, Camelot Books, Verotik, and Gauntlet Press (the latter of which author Barry Hoffman is the editor).

Edward has published numerous novels, novellas, and short stories including - but not limited to - "Coven" (1991), "Incubi" (1991), "Succubi" (1992), "The Chosen" (1993), "Creekers" (1994), "Header" (1995), "Goon" (1996) with John Pelan, "The Bighead" (1997), "Shifters" (1998) with John Pelan, "Portrait of the Psychopath as a Young Woman" (1998) with Elizabeth Steffen (with a nod to the writer James Joyce here), "Splatterspunk" (1998) with John Pelan, "Messenger" (2004), the young adult's book "Monster Lake" (2005), "Flesh Gothic" (2005), "The Pig" (2005), "Slither" (2006), "House Infernal" (2007), "Minotauress" (2008), "Brides of the Impaler" (2008), "Golemesque" (2009), and "The Black Train" (2009).

David J. Schow coined the term 'Splatterpunk' but Edward Lee is the personification of the sub-genre ... or, rather, his writing is. He is known for his erotic and violent imagery, his books are riddled with the occult and the Other, and he has a fast and engaging writing style. Influences include Ramsey Campbell, H.P. Lovecraft, and Fritz Leiber.

Ed won a Bram Stoker Award for his short story 'Mr Torso' in 1995. Like fellow writer, Jack Ketchum, he frequently publishes stories and novels through the small press publishers, although most of his work is now available in mass market paperback format via publishers such as Leisure Books and via e-books.

He has worked with the best and is one of the most popular horror authors of his generation. If there is a literary equivalent of 'Splatterpunk', it is Ed Lee's work.

He lives in St. Petersburg Beach.
