F. Paul Wilson is a renowned American author, best known for his works in the horror and science fiction genres. He was born on May 17, 1946, in Jersey City, New Jersey, and grew up with a keen interest in reading novels, comic books, and watching horror and science fiction movies. Wilson's love for reading and watching speculative fiction from a young age significantly influenced his writing career.
Wilson has written numerous novels and short stories, with his debut novel, Healer, published in 1976. He began his writing career by selling his first story in the 1970s and has since written in various genres, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, young adult, and thrillers. Some of his most popular works include The Keep, The Tomb, Harbingers, By the Sword, and Nightworld, all of which have appeared on the New York Times Bestsellers List.
In addition to his writing career, Wilson is also a part-time practicing family physician. He made his first sales in 1970 to Analog and continued to write science fiction throughout the 1970s. In 1981, he ventured into the horror genre with the international bestseller, The Keep, and helped define the field throughout the rest of the decade. In the 1990s, he became a true genre hopper, moving from science fiction to horror to medical thrillers and branching into interactive scripting for Disney Interactive and other multimedia companies.
Wilson, along with Matthew J. Costello, created and scripted FTL Newsfeed, which ran daily on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1992-1996. He has also received several awards for his work, including the prestigious Inkpot Award from San Diego ComiCon and the Pioneer Award from the RT Booklovers Convention. His novel, The Keep, was made into a movie in 1983, and his short story, "Menage a Trois," was part of the pilot for The Hunger series that debuted on Showtime in July 1997.
In conclusion, F. Paul Wilson is a versatile author who has made significant contributions to the horror and science fiction genres. With his unique storytelling style and ability to switch genres seamlessly, he has amassed a considerable following and established himself as a prominent figure in American literature.
