Autor

Author and Editor John Manning was born in the Detroit suburb of Wyandotte, Michigan, on October 31, 1947. Although his early years were spent in the Midwest, he grew up all over the United States. Aside from his military postings (he spent nearly twelve years in the US Army) most of his adult life was in Texas. Although he discovered his love for writing at an early age, it was not until his first novel, Black Stump Ridge (co-written with his long-time friend, Forrest Hedrick) was released in January, 2011, that his dream started to bear fruit. It went on to place tenth in the Editors & Preditors Readers Online Poll in the Best New Horror Novels for 2011 category. It was also considered for a Nebula Award, but did not make the final ballot. Instead, it was placed on the 2011 Nebula Recommended Reading List. He followed with eight short stories and one poem published in various collections. "Disclaimer" (Lawyers in Hell, released in July 2011); "Showdown at Brimstone Arsenal" (Rogues in Hell, released in June 2012); "Just Dessert" (Dreamers in Hell, released in July 2013). All three stories are part of the Heroes in Hell anthologies edited by Janet and Chris Morris and published by Perseid Press. John's fourth short story, "Asylum," appears in the third book of the Michael H. Hanson and Ed McKeown anthology ShaDaa: Pawns, released by Perseid Press in November, 2012 and re-released in June, 2014, by Moon Dream Press. His fifth story, "Mr. Bass Man" will appear in the fourth book of the Sha'Daa series, Sha'Daa: Facets. "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," appears in What Scares the Boogeyman? released by Perseid Press in February, 2013. His last two stories, as well as a poem, are part of Klarissa Dreams, a collection of stories and artwork assembled by Elisha Fraser (artwork by Klarissa Kocsis. As Editor-in-Chief and owner of Fantom Enterprises, he edited What Scares the Boogeyman?, a collection of horror and dark fantasy. He is also working on nine more anthologies: Heroes All; Dark Corners; Discontinuum; Dark Love; Nightfangs; Shamblers; The Nameless; Unhallowed; and The Uninvited. Terror by Gaslight is his second anthology and the first in his Night Chills series. John now lives near Chattanooga with his wife, De Anna, and their Italian greyhound, Speedy.
