Чарльз Аллен Грамлич: Писатель в жанрах научной фантастики и ужасов

American writer

Charles Allen Gramlich (born October 14, 1958 in Arkansas), is an American writer best known for combining science fiction and horror in his works.

Charles Allen Gramlich was born October 14, 1958. He grew up on a farm near the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Although he had three older brothers and an older sister, the closest in age was six years older than he was. The nearest child his age lived about six miles (10 km) away. As such, dogs, cats and books kept him company growing up. As a child, he came across a valley in the mountains that was so frightening to him that he could never force himself to enter it. This childhood experience formed the setting for his novel Cold in the Light. He teaches psychology in the Greater New Orleans area at Xavier University of Louisiana. He is married to award winning artist and photographer, Lana Gramlich, lives on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain and has a son named Joshua. Gramlich is the author of a dozen novels and numerous short stories. Most of his work falls into the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and westerns. His first novel in paperback form was Cold in the Light, a horror thriller with science fiction elements that drew comparisons with the early work of Dean Koontz. His next three novels, Swords of Talera, Wings Over Talera and Witch of Talera, are Sword & Planet works in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series. In 2012, Gramlich returned to those Sword & Planet roots with Under the Ember Star, a Wildside Double book, which includes The Battle for Eden, by Mark E. Burgess, on the opposite side. Gramlich also writes poetry and non fiction. In August 2008, Gramlich had his first poetry chapbook published, a collection of vampire haiku entitled Wanting the Mouth of a Lover. Spec House of Poetry is the publisher. In 2009, Gramlich had a collection of his nonfiction essays on writing published under the title Write With Fire. Borgo Press, an imprint of Wildside Press, is the publisher. He also had a textbook published called Writing in Psychology: A Guidebook. This book is a collaboration with two of Gramlich's colleagues, Dr. Y. Du Bois Irvin and Dr. Elliott Hammer.

Major influences on Gramlich's work include authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Ray Bradbury, John D. MacDonald, and Kenneth Bulmer Most of what he writes is "fantasy, horror, and western."
