    The Hunter's Heart - a dark retelling of the Snow White legend, told from the hunter's point of view.

    The Other Side Of The Moon Is A Lonely Midnight Shadow - an eerie werewolf tale, set in a strange steampunk kind of wilderness.

    The Bridge - in a post-apocalyptic wasteland the last motorcyclist meets a very strange obstacle.

    Something In The Pine Resin - she was only a ship's figurehead, wasn't she?

    A Hole Full of Nothing - the hard and brutal tale of a teenage fight club, based on a true story.

    WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT STEVE VERNON'S WRITING!

    "If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." – Bookgasm

    "Steve Vernon is something of an anomaly in the world of horror literature. He's one of the freshest new voices in the genre although his career has spanned twenty years. Writing with a rare swagger and confidence, Steve Vernon can lead his readers through an entire gamut of emotions from outright fear and repulsion to pity and laughter." - Cemetery Dance

    "Armed with a bizarre sense of humor, a huge amount of originality, a flair for taking risks and a strong grasp of characterization - Steve's got the chops for sure." - Dark Discoveries

    “Steve Vernon is a hard writer to pin down. And that’s a good thing.” – Dark Scribe Magazine

    "This genre needs new blood and Steve Vernon is quite a transfusion." –Edward Lee, author of FLESH GOTHIC and CITY INFERNAL

    “Steve Vernon is one of the finest new talents of horror and dark fiction" - Owl Goingback, author of CROTA

    "Steve Vernon was born to write. He's the real deal and we're lucky to have him." - Richard Chizmar

    My cat thinks I'm pretty cool, too.

    Steve Vernon

    Everybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll try to entertain you and I guarantee a giggle as well.If you want to picture me just think of that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the mighty saber-toothed tiger.If I listed all of the books I've written I'd most likely bore you - and I am allergic to boring so I will not bore you any further. Go and read some of my books. I promise I sound a whole lot better in print than in real life. Heck, I'll even brush my teeth and comb my hair if you think that will help any.For more up-to-date info please follow my blog at:http://stevevernonstoryteller.wordpress.com/And follow me at Twitter:@StephenVernonyours in storytelling,Steve Vernon
