Howard Waldrop (b. 1946) was born in Houston, Mississippi, and has lived in Texas since he was four years old. His stories are filled with images from contemporary American culture – rock ’n’ roll music, bad science fiction movies, cartoons, comic books and real-life characters have all found their way into his uniquely comic/tragic fiction. A winner of the World Fantasy Award and Nebula Award, his novels include Texas-Israeli War: 1999 (with Jake Saunders), Them Bones, A Dozen Tough Jobs and You Could Go Home Again. Waldrop’s highly distinctive short fiction is collected in Going Home Again, Howard, Who?: Twelve Outstanding Stories of Speculative Fiction, All About Strange Monsters of the Recent Past, Strange Things in Close-up: The Nearly Complete Howard Waldrop, Night of the Cooters: More Neat Stories, Dream Factories and Radio Pictures, Custer’s Last Jump and Other Collaborations (with A.A. Jackson, Leigh Kennedy, George R.R. Martin, Joseph F. Pumilia, Buddy Sanders, Bruce Sterling and Steven Utley) and Heart of Whitenesse. His novella "The Search for Tom Purdue" was recently published by Subterranean Press, while Old Earth Books is issuing two chapbooks with covers by Carol Emshwiller.
