Gregory M. Thompson is a horror, science fiction, and fantasy writer with a variety of credits in online and print magazines and anthologies (see the Works page). Writing since the early 1990s, he began in screenwriting and made the transition to fiction and comic writing in the early 2000s (though he does still write screenplays occasionally.) You can do the math on his age. Influences include Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and Scott Snyder. You can catch him making appearances at comic-cons (as an attendee and also in Artist/Author Alleys) and other types of shows and events.
