David Barker
David Barker has been a hardcore Lovecraft fan since his college days. He began writing short horror fiction in the mid-1980s, publishing widely in that era's small-press magazines, and edited three of his own Lovecraftian journals before leaving the field in the '90s to focus on literary fiction and poetry. In 2011, his comic surreal novel, Death at the Flea Circus, was published, and in 2012, David returned to horror with the publication of a serialized novel, Electro-Thrall Zombies. David lives in Oregon with his wife and has four grown daughters and two grandsons.
