Norman Partridge (b. 1958) was born in Vallejo, California, and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Canadian writer Tia V. Travis. Patridge grew up listening to his father tell ghost stories in the backyard on summer nights – tales of haunted houses, bloody footprints and Pennsylvania’s own private haunt, the “Green Man”. The first book he remembers buying on his own was a copy of Peter Haining’s The Ghouls. A two-time Bram Stoker Award winner for Best Collection, for Mr. Fox and Other Feral Tales (1993) and The Man with the Barbed-Wire Fists (2002), he also won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for his 1995 short story, “The Bars on Satan’s Jailhouse”. A frequent contributor to anthologies and magazines, Partridge’s novels range from horror to noir to suspense, including Slippin’ into Darkness, Saguaro Riptide, The Ten-Ounce Siesta, Wildest Dreams and To Hell and Gone, the latter set in the universe of Joe R. Lansdale’s “God of the Razor” character. Bad Intentions is another collection, and he also edited It Came from the Drive-In (with Martin H. Greenberg), an anthology of short stories that might have been drive-in movies. He contributes a popular column of the same name, featuring movie reviews and commentary, to Horror Garage magazine. An expanded edition of Mr. Fox and Other Feral Tales was published in 2005 and featured early tales and extensive commentary, plus advice for young writers looking to break into the horror market. A movie adaptation of his original novel, The Crow: Wicked Prayer, stars Edward Furlong, David Boreanaz, Tara Reid and Dennis Hopper.
